Marvel Cinematic Universe Movie • Page 119

William Jackson Harper or Phoebe Waller-Bridge are my picks for Reed Richards

Bill Hader if it has to be a white dude

 

I liked when the cape wiped his tears lol

 

I'm sorry but I don't think I'll ever buy John Krasinski, the man who wrote and directed the whiteboard exposition dump sequence in A Quiet Place, as the smartest human being in the Marvel Universe

 

Krasinski is a good example of someone being a good fit look-wise for a role but not at all being right for them on any other level

 

If Krasinski and Blunt weren't married IRL no one would be fancasting him as Reed Richards

 

fuck him lol, he sucks and always has

 

OMG YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

dammit now i won't want anyone else in the role why did you post this

 

shit would own

 

It almost makes too much sense, like it's so perfect they 100% would never even consider it. Goddamn. This would absolutely rule.

 

The first Doctor Strange film has some of the best casting talent for a solo film.

 

‘Loki’: Owen Wilson Joins Cast Of Marvel Villain’s Disney+ Series – Deadline

 

Wow

 

Rumor has it that he is playing Loki from a different dimension.

 

Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig for Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman

 

no lol

 

Do people want Hader because he looks like a dork and Reed is intelligent?

 

I love Hader and Wiig, but c’mon, stop drunk posting, people.

 

Bill Hader could be a decent Reed, & Emily Blunt could be a decent Sue. I dunno. Other than wanting Ben to be Jewish (which seems likely) & Doom being Romani (which seems unlikely from the studio behind Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One), I don't have super strong casting opinions.

I think more about the story than the casting. Whoever writes and/or directs needs to be handed Lee & Kirby's Fantastic Four #1, the first issue of Waid & Wieringo's run, & the first couple issues of Slott & Pichelli's run. All three are great examples of how to introduce an established team to an outside audience. Mix some Future Foundation elements from both Hickman's FF & the Fraction & Allred version into Waid's take. Mix the Ultimate Fantastic Four's Negative Zone origin into the Lee & Kirby origin, w/ a hint of where Hickman left 'em at the end of Secret Wars & how Slott brought 'em back. And, of course, make Annihilus the villain.

Oh, also, I'm one of the only people tired of Spider-Man in the MCU, but keep that going long enough for him to be in the movie.

 

I adore the cast of Fantastic Four 2015

 

Seth Rogen for Ben Grimm

 

I don’t want Rogen anywhere near the MCU.

 

I feel like their powers just aren't great for a movie. Am I offbase, does anyone think they can be done justice?

 

scrap this goddamn thread

 

Fuck it Danny DeVito for Thing

 

I mean, the 2015 film was trash & still did kinda fine-ish w/ their powers on an effects level. I don't buy that a Disney Marvel Studios 2020s film can't make stretchy guy, invisible lady w/ force fields, burning man, & rocks look good. It's more so about getting the casting, characterizations, & family dynamic right, & then plugging them into the right story.
