It seems as if ever since rumors broke out about the complications around Josh Trank's reboot for the 'Fantastic Four,' the collective sentiment around the film has been negative.

Fans are doubting the director's new vision on the film adaptation, as he has abandoned comic book canon in return for a younger and more racially diverse cast.

Writer/Producer for 'Fantastic Four' has come forward to voice his opinion and to clear the air on any hearsay before the film's upcoming release.

He tells EW:

"What I do think we had was a very young director making a very big movie. And a director that, for whatever reason, people were either rooting against or his personality troubled the press. So it just got viewed differently than any other movie that's a tough movie. We came in on schedule, under budget, [with] a movie that was pretty true to the original intent of the film. Whether people like it or not, it was his vision, which was a more grounded, a much more real version of Fantastic Four. Was it an easy production? No. Was it harder than a lot of the movies I've been on? No. But I may also have a higher threshold. I think there was something about Josh's identity that made him a good target. I'm not sure what that is."

"I am proud of it," he says. "It's not a disaster. It's a good movie. I find Fantastic Four a hard book to adapt. I think the tone is very tricky it. It's deceptively simple. Figuring out the comedy and the drama and the powers themselves are hard to fit into a tone that is as grounded as we wanted to make it. But I'm happy with the way that it turned out. I really love this cast, and I want to keep making movies with them."

'Fantastic Four' arrives in theaters Friday August 7.
