It was six whole years ago when Mahershala Ali took the stage at San Diego Comic-Con to reveal that he would be playing Blade in a new Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, a return to live-action for a character who had previously been played by Wesley Snipes in three Marvel-produced movies in the early 2000s.

While Fox had respectable success with the 2005 and 2007 Fantastic Four movies (which starred Chris Evans as Johnny Storm pre-Captain America), the former studio saw a Josh Trank-directed 2015 reboot completely tank after a full reshoot, grossing only $167M worldwide. This time, it’s different — it’s Feige’s Fantastic Four.

Marvel Studios is taking taking the MCU in a wild direction with The Fantastic Four: First Steps , and the biggest reveal yet is the introduction of Franklin Richards, one of the most powerful characters in Marvel Comics history.
