It’ll bomb, but not because of Johnny Storm’s race.
It’ll bomb because the super hero movie market is saturated right now, and the MCU owns that space. FF is, like Andrew Garfield’s Spiderman, a too-recent reboot that isn’t going to provide enough time and distance from the earlier efforts (like Nolans Batman did)
Heck, I think the new Spiderman reboot, which ties into the MCU, is going to have real challenges. And Spideys supposed to be Marvel’s flagship property.
Garfield won’t be in the 3rd one.
They are superior to Tobey Maguires utter trash.
I agree, it will bomb but not because he’s black. I do hope they work in a Pryor joke.
If they made Ben Grimm black that would work. You still have the brother/sister thing and it would also explain the orange rock color.
