Actor Ioan Gruffudd, who played Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic in the original 'Fantastic Four' film, has shared his views on the cancellation of the franchise.

Ioan Gruffudd starred in 2005's "Fantastic Four" and the follow-up "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" before plans for a third film were canned, something he told Vulture was "beyond my control" despite fan disappointment.

While "First Steps" suffered an unexpected blow at the box office this weekend, 20 years ago a quartet of superheroes found success with audiences.
