The new Fantastic Four international trailer left us wanting more and didn’t reveal much that we hadn’t seen before, but we are still holding out hope that the director will prove the skeptics wrong and deliver, considering his top talent with the likes of Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Bell and Kate Mara leading the film. If you need a little more convincing that they were the best choices for Mr. Fantastic, Human Torch, The Thing and Invisible Woman, check out the new Fantastic Four featurettes Fox just unveiled on Twitter. They feature Trank and writer-producer Simon Kinberg discussing why Teller, Jordan, Bell and Mara were the best choices for the roles. The duo recalls Teller’s audition for Chronicle, they talk about the chemistry between Jordan and Mara, what Bell will bring to his role and more.
