It's interesting to see how actors' personal boundaries can clash with a role's demands, yet they still find ways to connect with their characters. The Fantastic Four's constant reboots really highlight Hollywood's struggle to nail that classic team chemistry.
It's wild how often actors have to push past personal discomfort for iconic roles, but it's cool to see Alba still championing Sue Storm's legacy. Makes you wonder how the new cast will put their own spin on the team dynamic.
