Earlier today, we talked about how the teaser trailer for The Fantastic Four is coming soon and how it will reportedly show a gritty take for Fox’s reboot of the franchise from director Josh Trank (Chronicle) and screenwriters Simon Kinberg and Jeremy Slater (X-Men: Days of Future Past). But while the film hits theaters this Summer, we’ve yet to see a drop of official footage or any stills from the production, which Trank recently said in an interview with Collider was a conscious decision.

But now, Collider has revealed the first behind-the-scenes look at the production for The Fantastic Four. One photo is of Trank on set, while the other is Kinberg with star Michael B. Jordan in his Human Torch suit.

The teaser trailer for The Fantastic Four, Fox’s reboot of the Marvel property, will reportedly be attached to UK screenings of comic book movie Kingsman: The Secret Service starting this weekend, and hopefully officially online soon after.

Simon Kinberg, one of the film’s screenwriters, had said last year that the upcoming Josh Trank-directed film would be “a more realistic” and “a more gritty, grounded telling” of the FF story, as opposed to Fox’s first time around with the Marvel superhero team in Fantastic Four (2005) and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007).

Now comes reports that the teaser will reveal a “fast and gritty” flick that greatly differs from its predecessors.

20th Century Fox never lets a little thing like their upcoming films having not actually gone into production yet stop them from setting release dates. That’s common practice for most studios these days, but Fox was one of the earliest pioneers of that practice, and for better or worse the filmmakers working under them have had to adapt or hit the bricks. Nothing personal, just business.

In keeping with that fine tradition, the studio has recently announced a slew of new dates for some of the biggest projects on their production slate for the coming years. Even though the long-in-development Fantastic Four reboot helmed by Josh Trank (Chronicle) still hasn’t began shooting, its hypothetical sequel already has a release date set for July 14, 2017. Fox is also continuing to exploit their other profitable Marvel properties with another Wolverine sequel debuting on March 3, 2017 (with James Mangold, director of last year’s terrific The Wolverine, returning), and a mysterious Marvel feature set for July 13, 2018.

Two of Marvel Comics’ best creators, writer Matt Fraction and artist Mark Bagley, are headed to family drama and super hero goodness with the start of their run on the Marvel NOW! title The Fantastic Four!

In this story our four heroes are an expanded family with the addition of two super-powered kids. Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben – along with Franklin and Valeria – begin their epic journey through all of infinite time and space.

Today marks the birthday of one of the greatest, most influential, and innovative comic book artists of all time, the late Jack Kirby, responsible for creating and co-creating some of comicdom’s most well known and gold standard characters in the history of the genre – Captain America, The Hulk, The Fantastic Four, and The X-Men, to name a few.

The New York Times, who had written about Kirby 10 years after his death on February 1994, by which time he had amassed a portfolio of work almost tantamount to the works of Picasso or Michelangelo in his respective field, summed up the style of the man’s art this way:
