00:00Yeah, thank you everyone.

00:03The Fantastic Four were created in the 60s.

00:06It was the time of optimism, of looking to the stars.

00:09We're putting in our own version of the 60s in this retro-future world.

00:13Matt challenged us at the early stages to try and do as much as we could practically.

00:18We built this incredible Times Square backlot set,

00:21unbelievable sets for Reed's lab and the Baxter Building Department.

00:24We went on location to Spain.

00:27There was just so much care that was put into what the movie looks like.

00:31And I think that that aesthetic really informed a rich way of realizing these characters.

00:38It was such an imaginative space.

00:40It wasn't something that anyone had ever seen, so it was a magical experience.

00:44Herbie!

00:45Having a practical Herbie just felt like having another actor on set.

00:49I was very excited about Herbie, the reality of how big of a character he was going to be,

00:53just grew and grew.

00:54He pretty much does everything that we'll see him do on screen.

00:57There's just something about Herbie.

00:58I kind of felt him pretty quickly, and they're so cute.

01:00I felt like we had a shorthand.

01:01I felt like Herbie and Ben maybe spent a lot of time together.

01:04They were homies in a way.

01:05With Matt Shackman's approach, he's always done it through the lens of what was available to filmmakers in the 60s.

01:11It was practically what can you achieve in camera.

01:13So, why not shoot a miniature rocket?

01:15The miniature of the Excelsior spaceship behind us is 1 30th scale.

01:19It's about 13 and a half feet long.

01:21It feels very much of the time, but also retro future as well.

01:24Are we safe?

01:26And then Galactus is huge, you know, and one of the things we wanted to make sure that we captured was that scale.

01:33We approached it practically. It needs a tremendous amount of light. It needs special lenses.

01:38The biggest challenge was to make something on a human scale that we know is going to be blown up into an absolutely gigantic character.

01:45So, every little bit of detail on him has to be minute so that when he is blown up to that huge scale, it all feels very real.

01:54With all of these things, what they've done with this world is beautiful.

01:59It was just so fun to step into an era that felt so familiar and yet so otherworldly, so nostalgic and futuristic at the same time.

02:10It's very intentionally a cinematic experience.

02:15We will face this together as a family.

02:24The one probablybb.

02:27The evolutionary version of his experience and how easy it turns out.

02:34The processo of mindfulness this day goes away since the team is about 60 most people in the world.

02:39This series.

02:41It's about 32 people in the world, and kids I take care of.

02:44The truth that I'm playing ramparts, talking aboutmayı, is not one of the EspeciallyANT Tips for people.

02:45We imagine her есть some kind of updates.

02:48It needs some tough species maybe, and we think about you hardener.
