Synopsis: 

A group of astronauts gain superpowers after a cosmic radiation exposure and must use them to oppose the plans of their enemy, Doctor Victor Von Doom.

Intentions: 

The next chapter in the Marvel Knights series! Fantastic Four: The Foundation Cut aims to tone down the camp of the original film, rework the story with some deleted scenes, and make Doctor Doom a more sinister threat, hell bent on proving he's better and smarter than Reed Richards! 

Change List: 

 Cuts/Additions Include:

- Added Flashback of Reed and Ben as kids from Fan4stic (Without the "clobberin time")

- Added The Four and Doom waking up in space deleted scene

- Trimmed Various scenes with Doom to make him less silly

- Trimmed Debs finding out about Ben's transformation

- Cut both scenes where Susan strips invisible (Very unnecesary to the whole film, and kind creepy)

- Added the storage room scene with HERBIE cameo

- Added both deleted scenes with Alicia Masters to further expan Ben's story arc

- Moved Doom's return tease as a post credit scene, instead of in the main film

- And overall trimmed/cut some scenes that were basically jokes during serious moments

Additional Notes: 

I want to note that this will be getting a brief updated version with edited color grading and lighting, so the final ver. will have the Marvel Knights logo. Probably will be updated soon.
