This will be the fifth attempt at making a non-awful FF4 movie, and I’m not sure this one is going to break the mold. Some reasons why I think it will fail:

• they’ve chosen to make this a multiverse movie, and I’m pretty sure people are sick of these
• the timeline is the 60’s, so it shouldn’t overlap with any of the other existing MCU story lines…somehow
• the introduction of these characters AGAIN without a primer is only going to drive comic book folks to see it
• they’ve already introduced some of these characters in modern MCU movies to weak reception (albeit potentially different timelines)
• this is almost certainly a vehicle to reintroduce RDJ as a hero…somehow

Some Pros I see though:

• Malkovich, Paul Walter Hauser, and Natasha Lyonne are unknown characters as of now
• this looks to try and separate itself from the Avengers timeline
• New timeline, great style, good cinematic look
• Galactus, which means Silver Surfer
