That might change with the upcoming film based on the iconic group, as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe – reportedly Pedro Pascal being in it.
Details regarding the film are sparse at the moment, but we do know that Pedro Pascal has been rumored to be a part of the film. While that is well and good, fans continue to worry about the quality of the script, among other things.

The OriginalFantastic FourDraft Was Nixed For Its Poor Quality
Fans have been skeptical about the newFantastic Fourmovie due to the horrible track record of the older films, most notably the 2015Fantastic Fourmovie starring Michael B Jordan. It doesn’t help that there is no real detail about the plot even now.
That being said, according to Twitter userMyTimeToShine, a lot of issues cropped up for the upcoming film. It was noted that Marvel aimed for big names, but their asking price was too much. It was noted that Sue Storm was supposed to be the lead and that rubbed some of the potential actors for Reed Richards the wrong way. Finally, it was revealed that the original script for the film was so bad that it was ultimately scrapped.
