Hasbro has inadvertently shared an early first look at its Human Torch figure for The Fantastic Four: First Steps.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Johnny Storm is in full “Flame On!” mode here, and thanks to the design of the team’s 1960s-style costumes, looks like a Jack Kirby illustration come to life. We’re hearing that the rest of the team will be revealed later today, so stay tuned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In related news, a test screening for The Fantastic Four: First Steps took place in Los Angeles yesterday evening. @ViewerAnon<\/a> was first to mention it, and we’ve since been able to confirm the validity of their claim.\u00a0<\/p>\n @Cryptic4KQual<\/a>\u00a0also vaguely alluded to it by writing, “Hearing it’s ok, not bad, it’s good.”<\/strong> Remember, hundreds of people attend screenings like these, so it’s best not to put too much stock into one reaction (in recent months, Superman has been hailed as both a modern classic and an unmitigated disaster based on who you ask).\u00a0<\/p>\n If Marvel Studios has dropped the ball on the Fantastic Four, it will be hard for Marvel’s First Family to rebound. The franchise is already tainted thanks to 20th Century Fox, and while Avengers: Doomsday can make up for any missteps, a sequel will be off the table if The First Steps doesn’t resonate with audiences.\u00a0<\/p>\n We’ll see. In other news, AMC Theaters<\/a>‘s website states\u00a0that the movie has a 2-hour, 10-minute runtime. That’s not 100% confirmed, and we’d imagine The Fantastic Four: First Steps will continue to be tweaked in the weeks ahead.\u00a0<\/p>\n You can take a closer look at the MCU’s Human Torch in the X post below.\u00a0<\/p>\n
