When it comes to the latest big screen attempt at comic-dom’s first family of four, things are not as fantastic as Fox may have hoped. At least that’s the troubled picture being painted by numerous unconfirmed reports about director Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four reboot that popped up through the course of last week.
