The Fantastic Four Film Brings Iconic Catchphrases to Life
Marvel Studios has officially introduced the legendary phrase “It’s Clobberin’ Time” into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) — but with a surprising twist. Fans of The Fantastic Four Film will notice that the line is delivered differently, adding a fresh take on a classic moment. This creative choice highlights Marvel’s commitment to reinventing beloved elements while staying true to the spirit of the original characters.
The Twist on “It’s Clobberin’ Time”
In a delightful change, the trailer for The Fantastic Four Film reveals that Johnny Storm (Human Torch), played by Joseph Quinn, is actually the first to utter the iconic line. Specifically, at the 0:46 mark of the trailer, Johnny asks:
“Is it Clobberin’ Time?”
Ben Grimm (The Thing), portrayed by Ebon Moss-Bachrach, enthusiastically and without hesitation responds:
“Oh, yeah!”
This playful exchange not only teases fans but also, more significantly, cleverly saves the full delivery of the catchphrase for the movie’s most climactic and memorable moment.
The Fantastic Four Film Honors Past Versions
Moreover, long-time fans will notice a clever callback to the 2005 smovie. In that film, Chris Evans’ Johnny Storm activates a Ben Grimm action figure, which then says:
“It’s Clobberin’ Time!”
By cleverly having Johnny say the line first in the trailer, The Fantastic Four Film not only continues this meta tradition but also keeps fans eagerly anticipating Ben’s eventual delivery.
What Fans Can Expect From The Fantastic Four Film
Beyond “It’s Clobberin’ Time,” the movie also includes several other iconic catchphrases closely linked to the Fantastic Four. For instance, Johnny Storm confidently shouts “Flame On!” as he effortlessly soars through the sky, vividly showcasing his fiery powers with excitement and energy.
Moreover, Pedro Pascal’s Mr. Fantastic charms audiences with his scientific wit and intellect, emphasizing his role as the team’s clever leader. Similarly, Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman, highlights her protective instincts and leadership through impactful dialogue, solidifying her role as the team’s emotional anchor.
These iconic lines not only promise to bring a sense of nostalgia but also, more importantly, add an exciting and fresh twist to the story of The Fantastic Four Film!
