    Pascal as Reed has grown on me. To many people get caught up in Reed sometimes being anti social and think he's some emotionless monster. Pascal has the charm for me to buy that Sue would fall for him however Dornan as Reed was the much better option. I hate Kirby and Quinn as the Storm's because they just look way to british for me to buy them as americans. I also just don't think Kirby has the certain milfy quality Sue needs tbh. Bachrach as Ben is 10/10 casting and I'm so ready for it. All those Doom picks suck for different reasons. Banderas and Bardem would be massively wasted as Glactus. As well as a massive waste of Anya Taylor Joy if she's playing Frankie Raye.

      Pascal is too old. That and he has become the Chris Pratt of non animated movies.

        Look if they found a guy who is down to play a secondary lead role so Sue can finally get her well deserved time in the spotlight in live action then he works for me. Plus if we are starting with the kids in this then him being 50 makes sense.

          Why are Marvel shills patrolling a dead thread? Do you guys not know the F4 works best as an ensemble where everyone has equal share? Jesus fricking christ you missed the whole point of Marvel's first Family

            Every ensemble film still has a clear lead moron that's how they've always fricking worked. Most of the Avengers films have Iron Man taking center stage. GOTG 1 and 2 has Starlord as a clear lead and then Rocket as a co lead for 2 before moving up to lead in 3. Sue deserves her chance at the spotlight more then any other F4 member.

              No she doesn’t. She’s not interesting enough to lead.

                If you liked or cared then you would know by now how the FAMILY dynamic works and the Four are unique in that aspect. Your talking about individual teams with no real relation.

                Plus nta but the movie is DOA the moment you announce Sue as the lead. Finally get the Fantastic Four again after decades and instead of being faithful to the source material you decide "this is what the fans truly want". How many times has that backfired in your faces? I mean wasn't the Marvels enough of a sign?

    Austin Butler would have been a perfect Johnny like a decade ago. He was certainly a better pick than the rest of these uggos.

    I couldn't be bothered to watch the last one and this hasn't piqued my interest enough to see either.
    Being an FF fan is almost as bad as being a Hulk fan.

    It's there a rule that actors have to be ugly now? Srsly, I've not seen a single pretty actor in a while. Holy shit.

    Also to elaborate, seeing how the state of the MCU is right now you would think they are hell bent on getting the F4 right and staying true to what has always worked and what the fans truly want to see so they can ultimately get butts in theatres and MAKE MONEY. You know what won't make money? Changing the Formula of Coca Cola. You don't take something that people have liked for decades and decide "no, this is how it will be enjoyed now you chuds" that's never worked with anything. I don't care how earnest or "deserving" you think it is. GIVE THE FRICKING FANS WHAT THEY WANT.

    The MCU cannot die a quick enough death if this is the rationale behind the creative endeavors going on. All the money power and prestige in the world and it still won't stop the sinking ship because the crew you've hired are absolute buffoons.

    Comer was considered, but apparently isn't interested in superhero movies.
    C'mon Jodie Coomer, those lezzie fans that watched Killing Eve will follow you anywhere. Worked for Katie McGrath.
