Jessica Alba really has become the invisible woman: Fox has removed all traces of her and Chris Evans' Fantastic Four films from digital platforms as the studio prepares to release its 2015 reboot, starring Miles Teller and Kate Mara.
Fox is rebooting its Fantastic Four film franchise this summer with the release of a new take on the comic-book story, which also stars Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell. But those hoping to download Fox's most recent Fantastic Four films (the 2005 and 2007 ones with Evans and Alba) on iTunes or Amazon are out of luck.
A source close to the situation tells The Hollywood Reporter, the older titles have been removed from digital platforms ahead of the release of the new film, so as not to distract from promotion of the rebooted franchise, which is seeking to establish a different tone than the previous releases. The source says the older titles might cause confusion in the marketplace.
