“Yeah, these movies are pretty dumb.”

Gotta love how the four actors who make up the Fantastic Four all treat a (non-) proposed Fantastic Four 3 sequel like a huge pile of lowbrow dishes in the sink. Actor Chris Evans, who plays Johnny Storm aka The Human Torch in the cornball Marvel franchise, follows up recent “whatever”-like comments from co-stars Michael Chiklis (The Thing) and Jessica Alba (The Invisible Mind Woman) with a similar cricket-call to MTV

“I’m pretty sure we won’t do [another] one,” insisted “Fantastic Four” star Chris Evans. “I’m assuming that one is a closed book. …It takes up a lot of time. It’s a big commitment. I’m happy with walking away.”

Evans adds that if Fox wanted to make another flick following the last one, the $130 million grossing Rise of the Silver Surfer, they probably would have called him last summer. You know, Swingers logic. Thought to be a springboard for a spin-off movie focusing on The Silver Surfer (played by Doug Jones, voiced by Laurence Fishburne), the sequel made less than its 2005 predecessor domestically, but neither film is publicly viewed as a loss after DVD sales et al. Of course, if a trifecta does occur, Alba said in January that she wants to go the preggo route and give birth to superpowered infant Little Franklin. About time a comic book movie challenged Knocked Up’s money shot, eh? Up in the beautiful early spring sky, Galactus’s cloud doesn’t move.

Discuss: Okay, so who’s the guy with the Fantastic Four voodoo dolls? I owe you a beer.

    I would really like to see the sequel of fantastic 4. I really enjoyed the first 2, and I want to see what happens next. It would be nice for once if someone would stand up for what they believe in, or finish what they had started. I hate being left with a blank ending. If I can't give up in what I believe in, in getting the my back fixed so that I can walk without falling on my face or getting these migraine headaches or having the trimmers. Then I wish every one else would not give up in what they believe in.

    What is with the verbal abuse of Jessica Alba on this site?
  • @Mao: They don't need a director with balls. They need to get right of Blonde Jessica Alba. She looks a complete freak being blonde.

    How about Elektra? There's also talk about Nick Fury in Iron Man. A while back there was talk about a Venom spin-off. And yeah, I'd definitely consider the Wolverine and Magneto "origins" movies spin-offs. Fact is, if you click the "spin-off movie" link in the post above, you'll see that at one point the Silver Surfer spin-off talk was genuine.

    God damn, these FF films are hilariously bad.

    Oddly enough Chris Evans surprised me as a good actor in "Sunshine". Which he turned out to be my favorite character in it.

    i also forgot "catwoman", but that was so after-the-fact, it SHOULDN'T count.. even if it does.

    what's with all of these springboard theories? has that happened once yet in a comic book movie? by "springboard theory", i mean the whole idea of a comic book film based on a supporting character from another comic book film. it just seems like it never has happened and never will happened. and personally, i would see it as a bad play on "big hollywood"'s part. you know, "this comic book trash with X supporting anti-hero did semi-well in the box office, let's make a spin-off starring X supporting anti-hero!

    the only example of said idea comes to mind when i think of the wolverine flick, but does that really count? correct me if i'm wrong.

    Who knows, maybe they will re-invent the series 10 years from now like they did with Batman Begins, and get a director with some balls.
