The latest trailer for Marvel and Fox’s Fantastic Four reboot opens not with an origin story but a pre-origin story: Long before he was Mr. Fantastic, Reed Richards was like any other normal kid, bragging about his teleportation device in class and causing massive blackouts in his neighborhood with botched science experiments. The new clip goes on to showcase the Fantastic Four’s actual ground-zero moment — a freak accident in an alternate universe that leaves Reed, Johnny Storm, Sue Storm and Ben Grimm with powers they must learn to live with.
