That new Fantastic Four international trailer was a bit underwhelming, but I’m still holding out hope that director Josh Trank will prove the skeptics wrong and deliver, especially with top talent like Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Bell and Kate Mara leading the film. If you need a little more convincing that they were the best choices for Mr. Fantastic, Human Torch, The Thing and Invisible Woman, check out the new Fantastic Four featurettes Fox just unveiled on Twitter. They feature Trank and writer-producer Simon Kinberg discussing why Teller, Jordan, Bell and Mara were the best choices for the roles. The duo recalls Teller’s audition for Chronicle, they talk about the chemistry between Jordan and Mara, what Bell will bring to his role and more.

You can give all four featurettes a watch below. Fantastic Four is due in theaters on August 7th and also stars Toby Kebbell, Tim Blake Nelson and Reg E. Cathey.
