J.J. Abrams has a golden touch when it comes to dormant properties, as he's had a hand in reviving both the Star Trek and Star Wars franchises.

In a Q&A sit down with Chris Rock at the Tribeca Film Festival, Rock threw out another franchise that could use some tender love and care to Abrams, one that he would personally like to see return to prominence.

“Can you direct the Fantastic Four?” Rock asked him. “Can someone save it? I love the Fantastic Four and they keep f—ing it up!”

Scratch that previous "return to prominence" comment actually. The Fantastic Four has never really had that classic take on the franchise. The best you could say about the first entry was that it was "okay", so that isn't really a high bar.

If it means a great FF movie is the result, Abrams can include all the lens flares he wants.
