The Fantastic Four cast over the years— Fans poke fun, “Why are we even debating this?!”

As Fantastic Four: First Steps' official first trailer hits social media, fans are waiting with anticipation for the latest installment of the F4 series. With the trailer being released, the cast rumors are now confirmed. A post shared on X, seized the perfect opportunity to offer a comparison between previous Fantastic Four casts, featuring the posters over the years.

A funny netizen commented, (via @Ka1idor/X)

This movie has had many do-overs starting from 1984 which did not see the day of light, followed by 2005's remake featuring Chris Evans as Human Torch and Jessica Alba as Susan Storm. Other than Evans and Alba, the cast consisted of Michael Chiklis as Ben Grimm and Julian McMahon as Dr.Doom.

Another movie was made in 2015 featuring Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, and Kate Mara. This movie, however, did not win many claps as per the reaction shared on the post under discussion. Internet did what it does best, serving humor with funny digs and brutal honesty.

With the latest entrant in the F4 franchise coming into the scene, fans are wondering if it will be fantastic this time. In the typical fashion of Shakespearean dramas, Fantastic Four movies appear to be remade again and again like a Sisyphean task.

If you are wondering what the buzz is all about, here is the poster for you
