Reed's main power is his intellect. The stretchy part is just a bonus.
Regardless, you still need to show him using his power. He didn't get the name Mr Fantastic and be a member of the fantastic four for his intellect. He got it because he is real stretchy.

That's kind of false. He's solving problems with his brain and usually a gadget he invents. Sure, he packs a mean punch too. Or can change the channel on an old school turn dial tv from the couch.
Reed destroys civilizations and intergalactic deities with his genius, that's why the Skrulls and Kree Empires run for their lives when they hear his name. His stretching power is dull in comparison.

Reed is called Mr. Fantastic because Richards realized that he had to make the FF into family-friendly celebrities to prevent them from being exploited by the government and hated by the common man, so they all got cute names and cheery costumes. That's been part of the FF story since the first issues, and it's the one take that I think Hollywood could get right - the superhero as manufactured celebrity.

When I first heard Josh Trank was attached to the film I suddenly became real excited at the possibility of the Fant4stic being a mockumentary which in-universe was produced by Reed Richards as a PR stunt.

It mostly comes in handy for grabbing things on the other side of the lab without having to get up.
What I was trying to say is that you still have to show him using his powers and his powers look silly on screen. I get that his intellect is the real reason Reed is a major player in the Marvel universe. But we have had 3 x movies about a really smart inventor already.

That severely undercuts his personality, and he's a different sort of inventor to Tony.

Well, there's a few ways to show a stretchy guy. The main thing I'd go with is something visually akin to Spider-Man's webslinging, only it's his whole goddamn arm reaching for that ledge.
Mr Fantastic's ability to stretch needs to be demonstrated as something powerful. A little scary looking, if shit's getting real, but powerful. Don't play it for comedy. Reed guides a team with someone who can make forcefields and turn invisible, someone who can fly, and someone who is very very strong and is damn near unstoppable. He doesn't start stretching around and doing limbwork unless Sue, Ben and Johnny are in over their heads.

Mr. Fantastic without his intellect is basically Flatman

Reed is terrifying with his elasticity in fighting. He uses martial arts like ju-jitsu to break bones. IIRC he's able to give himself super strength by exploiting his abilities a certain way. Dude's a beast.
I haven't seen the Ultimate version of Reed, but giving the Ultimate universe is their 'I DARE you to do this shit!' on a good day dumping ground I can just see a creepy Reed running around.

That Reed was post Miller/Loeb for the most part, and was really spearheaded by Hickman after being set up by Bendis.

I feel like you're letting the earlier ultimate universe comics color your opinions on the modern stuff. It hasn't been ''I DARE you to do this shit!' for over half a decade now. (Jeph Loeb's Ultimatum was the last hurrah of the truly terrible shit.)
Well, aside from Ultimate Spider-Man, which was never like that to begin with.

Ultimate Reed turning evil is pretty great though.
Nah. The Ultimate FF's arcs, from Warren Ellis' teenage FF coming together to Reed constantly winning by fucking up to fighting alternative universe zombie FF to Reed going evil, are all pretty solid. The Ultimates issues with Evil Reed returning to build his future world are the first time I realized how great Robert Hickman could be on a Marvel team book.
There's a lot of solid stuff in the Ultimate Universe. There's a reason that the best parts became the building blocks of both the modern Marvel status quo and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Reed turning evil wasn't a part of UFF. There were like 13 arcs of UFF and they were mostly wheel spinning nonsense.

People basically say that about every single costume from every single super hero film/TV show ever the first time they see a poorly lit photo of it in Entertainment Weekly.
She said, "You're pretty good with words, but words won't save your life."
And they didn't.
So he died.
Looks very much like a community-theater level budgeted response to AoU's Vision. I dug it from a distance. The colors are solid. But, the material and design of the suit and the consistency of the makeup look so amateurish. I dig the plastic molded headpiece though.

I think Entertainment Weekly purposely takes bad photos, or asks the set to give them bad photos.
The BvS stuff before SDCC was super weak.

You'd just spot a poorly lit superhero costume, drop the tablet, then have to chisel it all over again.

He became a super-villain, the Maker.

Basically like Ultimate X-Men.
Marvel is keeping Spider-Man's "look" under wraps so I guess he's not in it, no word on where Scarlet Witch is supposed to be
