Fantastic Four Writer Expected Doomed Reboot to Be ‘Next Dark Knight’

Simon Barrett, the writer of both the recent Mortal Kombat II and an early draft of Fantastic Four, recently discussed his experience working on the superhero film. He fondly remembered collaborating with director Josh Trank on the screenplay and admitted he was unaware of any issues during production, as he wasn’t on set. Barrett was surprised to see how much his script had been altered when the film finally came out, and before seeing the finished product, he genuinely believed the reboot would be a hit.
