The new movie trailer releases aren't done yet, folks.

20th Century Fox released a new full trailer for its "Fantastic Four" reboot Sunday, and we're finally pretty excited for this film.

That's largely because of the cast.

You can't really argue with the casting of Miles Teller who was in the excellent "Whiplash," and Kate Mara who was a fan favorite on "House of Cards."

Don't count out Michael B. Jordan either. He's been a star on the rise ever since television appearances on "The Wire" and "Friday Night Lights." He recently gave a great performance in "Fruitvale Station."

The film also stars Jamie Bell and Toby Kebbell (as the villain, Doctor Doom).

Here's the official synopsis via Fox:

FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel's original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their daunting new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.

"Fantastic Four" will be in theaters August 7, 2015

Pretty good, right?

You have to applaud Fox, here.

Marvel is currently dominating the box office with its superhero movies a la Disney's purchase of the company in 2009. 

Prior to that purchase, Marvel sold off the film rights to some of its characters including the X-Men, Deadpool, and Fantastic Four to Fox. 

So far, Fox has been able to deliver with its X-Men movies. "X-Men: Days of Future Past" was one of the highest-grossing movies of 2014, and, one of the most enjoyable for this scene alone

Fox also recently discovered the enormous popularity of Comic-Con favorite Deadpool. We'll be seeing a movie starring Ryan Reynolds - who has basically been on a mission to get this film made for years - next year. It looks pretty promising.

Disney and Marvel haven't made it easy.

Marvel's been burying the X-Men series for a while. You can read more on that hereThe company also recently announced its killing the "Fantastic Four" comic line

So, yeah, we're going to root for this film and hope for the best.
