The other movies were even further on the spectrum of being goofy and fun than Spider-Man.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When asked to clarify what he meant, or rather, which Spider-Man franchise he was referring to, Kinberg replied:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Raimi Spider-Man, yeah, not Amazing Spider-Man. Josh Trank\u2019s instincts are to be as realistic and grounded and real with this stuff as possible. In many ways I would say it\u2019s definitely more of a drama than comedy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s still in the direction of Spider-Man. It\u2019s not like Dark Knight. And even Chronicle has a lot of fun in it. We\u2019re treating this as the origin of the Fantastic Four so in future movies you\u2019d have them on sort of splashier adventures to some extent but in this one we tried to ground the science as much as possible and make it feel like it could take place in our world before it cantilevers into other worlds.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While its not secret that fans were worried that this film would turn out to be too much of a comedy given how young the cast is, but it can be reassuring that the writer himself admits that its not the direction they are headed.<\/p>\n<p>The Fantastic Four is currently set for a Summer 2015 release date. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\n&nbsp;
