47. Fantastic Four (2015)

This is the newest 'Fantastic Four' starring Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, and Jamie Bell. Obviously this one went for a younger vibe, as is evident by the casting, but it still didn't connect with people as much as they'd hoped. One thing is that the rights were still owned by Sony, so it lacked the Marvel vibe that comic book movie fans have become accustomed to. I think all the fans want to see Fantastic Four in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Reed Richards, Tony Stark, and Doctor Strange in a room together? It would be hilarious.

This is another movie where an actor has played multiple characters in the Marvel universe. Michael B. Jordan plays both good guy and bad guy as both the Human Torch and Killmonger. The odd thing is that movie-goers liked Killmonger a lot more than they liked the Human Torch.
