Fantastic Four Movie Reboot Release Date Delayed

Those who were looking forward to heading to the theater to watch Josh Trank's Fantastic Four reboot in June will have to wait a bit longer, as Fox has delayed the movie's release date.

The good news is it's not a major change, as the studio has pushed the release date to Aug. 7, 2015 from June 19, 2015. The reason for the move is unclear, though it could be something as simple as the studio's wanting to position the film's release more strategically.

Last month, Geek Pride posted two photos of what it claims are shots of Doctor Doom, played by Toby Kebbell, in front of a massive green screen. One photo shows someone in red clothing on a wire who is likely The Human Torch, while the other shows a more built person who could potentially be The Thing. Check out one photo at the top of the page and the other photohere.

Speaking of the Human Torch, Michael B. Jordan recently spoke to Source Magazine about a number of Fantastic Four topics. Firstly, he spoke about being able to publicly speak about the role once the studio officially announced him for the part. Recall he had been rumored for months.

"Oh man! A huge relief. It was like...walking around knowing that for like a year since me and Josh Trank, we talked about this when he first got the job. It's something that we tried to make happen. We knew we had a lot of obstacles in the way and a lot of mountains to move but, you know, for whatever reason things just fell into place and ... [20th Century] Fox believed in the situation and believed in me and yeah, we got it done. So that's definitely something that me and Josh celebrated at the wrap. We were just like we did it."
