Ioan Gruffudd Talks Fantastic Four

"Well, these big films – even King Arthur, where the original script was nothing like what we shot - go through so many stages. So the script sometimes becomes secondary in these things . Because of all the special effects you're sort of adapting it as it goes along."

Tonally, the movie is, according to Arad, a bittersweet comedy, something Gruffudd was keen to confirm. "There's quite a bit of comedy in this and there's that romance between Reed and Sue Storm. And there are four of us, so we're all relying on each other. I have no idea where the script is going to go, but there's certainly plenty of action and us getting a chance to use our superpowers. It's going to be interesting because there are so many fans out there of the original and what they do and I hope they try to remain true to the comic."
