Or is there a fourth group that covers the Fantastic Four?
Yes.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
That movie sounds awesome. Slightly sad that Talking Heads don't seem to be in it, but I can't have everything....
eta: For those who don't know, CBGB's was arguably the epicenter of the American punk explosion that started with the Ramones in '76 (or maybe earlier?).

The Ramones played their first gigs at CBGB in ’73 or ’74. They went there because that’s where Television was playing.

Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd actually built the stage at CBGBs, which (of course) originally stood for Country Blue Grass and Blues.

Hey. New board.
i'm okay with Spider-Man, The Avengers, the X-Men, and the FF never interacting (especially FF/Avengers, since it'd be pretty hard for Cap and Johnny to interact without some serious weirdness), but I do wish that S.H.I.E.L.D. could at least cross the streams. I always liked Fury's interactions in the X-Men books I read. Though since they've pretty much given up on the Modern-era X-Men (and unfortunately probably the old-era too, I think, since First Class didn't do so well) I guess it's a moot point.

Balls. The guys who wrote Green Lantern (that masterpiece of screenwriting) have been hired to write Wonder Woman. Seriously? [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
unfortunately probably the old-era too
That's contradicted by the announcement of its release date in July 2014.
I think it is weird for so many of those groups to be bopping around New York and never bump into each other, especially considering it feels like every non-mutant in the universe has been an Avenger at one time or another.
I've heard mutterings about a F4 reboot, which would make the Johnny issue moot.

I'm skeptical that they'd be able to improve the Reed and Sue casting enough to counterbalance what they'd lose without Chiklis and Evans as Ben and Johnny.
