Is it true that the Fantastic Four movie franchise is getting a reboot? Does this have anything to do with Disney?

I don't think so, there has been talk of rebooting the franchise for quite a while now.  I don't know how long Disney has been working towards buying out Marvel, but the movie license is currently held by Fox anyway.

Here's an article on IGN from March about rebooting it: http://movies.ign.com/articles/960/960540p1.html

Here's another article which kind of discusses the film rights, even with the Disney take over: http://movies.ign.com/articles/102/1020293p1.html

I could maybe find some more, but it's time to leave work

I don't know about a reboot, but they show FF4: Rise of the Silver Surfer daily on a couple of the sci-fi channels up here in Canada, and whenever they ramp up showings of past films related to a specific franchise, I take note. It almost never pans out, but one this is for certain - Disney isn't going to simply sit on whatever access to Marvel creations they now have. They are going to do what Disney genuinely does best - exploit, exploit, exploit. If Fox has rights, Disney will find a way to weasel them back into their court, you can bet on it.

I don't really have much of an opinion on who should be cast, except that Chris Evans needs to return as Johnny.  I thought he fit perfectly.  My wife claims that I have a man crush on him, but he acted just like I would imagine the torch to act.

I didn't mind watching Alba, but it had nothing to do with the character she was playing.

While the casting is always important, I'm more curious about what story they'll tackle next.

I'd like to see either some negative zone action or a skrull story.  I'd love to see a proper Galactus story, I just don't think that they could do it justice.
