SO MUCH TO DISCUSS! Fantastic Four Test Screening Reactions, Hulk in Spider-Man Brand New Day (Team Up Or Villain), Is Chris Hemsworth Leaving Thor, Harry Potter HBO Casting Backlash, & The Last of Us Season 2 Viewership Drop! - Become A Righteous Reject By Buying REEL REJECTS Aparrel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ - Greg Alba and Roxy Striar break down the biggest news in film and television this week! We dive into the Fantastic Four (2025) test screening rumors and audience reactions for the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) movie that features Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic (The Last of Us, The Mandalorian) Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm / Invisible Woman (The Crown, Mission: Impossible) Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm / Human Torch (Stranger Things, A Quiet Place: Day One) Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm / The Thing (The Bear, Andor) Ralph Ineson as Galactus (The Witch, The Green Knight)We also react to the Spider-Man: Brand New Day casting rumors and plot leaks, including a surprising Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) crossover. We speculate on whether Hulk will be an ally or threat, and discuss the rumored main villain Mr. Negative, a lesser-known but powerful adversary in Spider-Man lore. Then, we discuss Chris Hemsworth's emotional message about Thor that may hint at his final appearance in the MCU. Is he done after Avengers Doomsday or Thor 5? The Harry Potter HBO Max Series has officially cast its trio of leads, and the internet has opinions. We talk about the backlash, especially surrounding race-swapped characters, and reflect on what matters most: the performance or the look? Lastly, we tackle the viewership dip for The Last of Us Season 2, whether the two-year gap will hurt audience retention, and how fans are reacting to the confirmed casting of Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, the evolving journey of Bella Ramsey as Ellie, and the emotional fallout of saying goodbye to Joel (Pedro Pascal). #FantasticFour #SpiderMan #Marvel #MCU #VanessaKirby #Reaction #react #BrandNewDay #MCU #Hulk #HarryPotterHBO #TheLastOfUs #PedroPascal #BellaRamsey #KaitlynDever #ChrisHemsworth #Thor #MarvelPodcast #MovieNews #ReelRejects #TLOU #avengersdoomsday #avengerssecretwars Follow Roxy Striar: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWhirlGirls Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/roxystriar/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/roxystriar The Last Of Us 2x07 Blind Reaction: https://youtu.be/E-IuQzMnhE8 The Last of Us 2x7 Gamers Reaction: https://youtu.be/ynTlo6YSEYA Superman Vs The Elite Reaction: https://youtu.be/5rvcP_OfQLU Avengers Doomsday & Secret Wars Delayed: https://youtu.be/OmVswPVb9Tg Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ 0:00 What's On The Agenda?! 1:46 Come Say Hi! 3:15 Fantastic Four Test Screening Reactions 16:32 Spider-Man Brand New Day Will Include The Hulk 28:49 Chris Hemsworth Leaving Thor?! 36:47 Acorns 38:23 Harry Potter Casting Backlash 1:01:00 The Last Of Us Season 2 Viewership Dip 1:16:08 Wrapping Up 1:18:10 Social Media Plans 1:24:36 Have We Stolen From Movies or Shows 1:28:41 What TV Show Is Our Guilty Pleasure Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/praperhq/?hl=en Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG Ask Us A QUESTION On CAMEO: https://www.cameo.com/thereelrejects Follow GREG On INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thegregalba PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Movie Talk (News, Spoiler Reviews, & Film Rumors!!!): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw8fPQ-21NVSb2IOwIiHbVt8 Youtube Video Reactions & Discussions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_qwcPsN_vOxXC6IVzrOQYG Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y Vlog: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9TdRZC0NvGLve0eNWmUjzs

Ruffalo and Holland in the same movie. With the same script? We’re going to know the entire plot in the next few weeks. 😂

The Thunderbolts thing that they shot 3-4 weeks before the movie came out was just the last post credits scene. It wasn't a reshoot.

The lack of character development could also be a result of this not being an origin story. Their origin is not as well known as Peter Parker’s so some in the audience might have wanted that story told.

One of my main takeaways from the FF trailer was the family was beloved by the people and very self assured. The line from Reed Richards saying he doesn't know if they'll be safe tells me that their confidence becomes shaken. I imagine their character development will hinge on that.

Saw The Final Reckoning at a test screening early April! According to McQ, they didn’t lock picture until two days before it came out

I swear there’s a comic run where there’s a similar memory wipe to the one in no way home and Hulk is one of the only ones who remembers who Peter is. Would be interesting if that’s the case! Great podcast!!

Hey guys!! I love listening to your podcast on here every week. When y’all were talking about the Last of Us Season 2, I could not stop thinking about how awesome it would be to see the non-gamers react to the Part 2 cutscenes! Please do it for people like me 🙏🏼 again love y’all and love your podcast!!

Awesome stuff here everyone! Like the insight on test screenings prior to release date, and would def be up for Tatiana showing up to help out if Hulk is indeed going rogue/bad. Also, we need a "John Cam!"
