...new production designed to put the Incredible back into the superhero that everyone privately thinks is a bit of a waste of time. And of course it's being feted as a bold new adaptation, when in fact it's a standard Marvel movie - right down to the obligatory cameo by Stan Lee.

Cast - The cast has a great line up ...
