Speaking to Den of Geek about it, Kinberg who has enjoyed much success with the X-Men franchise simply […]

Unless you have been living under a rock for the last few days, the response to Fantastic Four has been awful to say the least. This leaves 20th Century Fox in a bit of a pickle. They need to decide on whether or not to reboot it yet again, go ahead with another sequel or sell Marvel […]
