Trivia: This film marks the third time that a first Fantastic Four adaptation of a planned franchise was released during the fifth year of a decade. The first to get a theatrical release was directed by Tim Story and released in 2005, being successful enough to warrant a 2007 sequel. The second was the Josh Trank-directed "Fant4stic" in 2015, which ended up being a major box office bomb.
Trivia: The unreleased Roger Corman film from 1994 notwithstanding, this is the first Fantastic Four film in which Johnny Storm is depicted as having comic book-accurate blonde hair.
