But there are shots in the trailer that give me pause.
Fantastic Four: First Steps seems like a fresh direction for the MCU.
Doctor Doom’s casting… not so much.

I’m holding out hope for First Steps.
The first Avengers movie did this, too.

And those are qualities you lose when you move regular people out of the frame.
Doom shouldn’t be an event, he should be an everpresent threat.
