Marvel Finally Needs To Release This Infamous Unseen Movie
By WITNEY SEIBOLD
Recently, /Film ranked the Fantastic Four movies, proclaiming Oley Sassone's 1994 “The Fantastic Four” as the best. Despite its flaws, its surprising underground fame persists.
Despite its low budget, cheesy dialogue, and subpar special effects, the widely circulated film remarkably and accurately captures the essence of the original 1960s comic books.
On its 30th anniversary, actor Joseph Culp, who portrayed Doctor Doom, strongly advocated for Marvel Studios to grant the film a proper, authorized release, just like the fans.
In an interview with /Film, the actor expressed regret and dissatisfaction shared by fans of the bootlegged film, stating, “There's this feeling that we've been cheated somehow.”
Culp believes that the failure to acknowledge the film “The Fantastic Four” has had a negative impact on later adaptations, resulting in reduced popularity and financial success.
He energetically concluded, “[30 Years] I think that's abundant enough amount of time to let all the sleeping dogs lie, so to speak, and say, ‘Look, why don't we push for this?’”
