The latest issue of The Punisher sees three of the Fantastic Four reboot film stars apparently fall victim to an explosion.

The Marvel Comics series features an abrupt end for Kate Mara, Miles Teller and Jamie Bell when they cameo in the comic (via Newsarama).



Writer Nathan Edmondson assured readers that the comic is not making a "petty statement" against the upcoming 20th Century Fox film on Twitter.

The characters can be seen talking about the absent Michael B Jordan - who will play the Human Torch in director Josh Trank's film - shortly before meeting their demise.

Marvel and Fox have denied rumours that there is a rivalry between the two companies over the film, which has been attributed to the decision to end the Fantastic Four comic.



Co-star Toby Kebbell recently revealed that his version of Doctor Doom will be an "anti-social programmer".



The Fantastic Four comic will conclude in 2015.

The Fantastic Four will arrive in cinemas on August 6, 2015 in the UK and on August 7 in the US.
