Original Fantastic Four Script Had Galactus, Mole Man, And More

With a tone and plot more comparable to a Marvel Studios film, apparently an early draft of Josh Trank's Fantastic Four script has found its way into the hands of reporters...and it would have been a very different, possibly much better, film.
Birth Movies Death claims that an early draft of the script, radically revised when producer/writer Simon Kinberg came on board the project and was tasked to slash the budget, would have included not just more action, but Mole Man, H.E.R.B.I.E., The FantastiCar and Galactus.
Like...as a guy, not a cloud. Galactus for real. With Doom as his herald.
Oh, yeah. And Moloids -- including a giant, mutated one a la the cover of Fantastic Four #1. Also, Victor Von Doom overthrowing the government of Latveria and installing himself as dictator.
I think I might have been able to handle not having superhero costumes if the movie had come out like that.
