Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic
>1st choice: Adam Driver (declined).
>2nd choice: Jake Gyllenhaal (asked for too much money).
>Jamie Dornan (auditioned, didn't get it).
>Christopher Abbott (auditioned, didn't get it).
>3rd choice: Pedro Pascal (locked in).
Sue Storm/Invisible Woman
>1st choice: Emma Stone (asked for too much money).
>2nd choice: Margot Robbie (asked for too much money).
>3rd choice: Jodie Comer (declined).
>4th choice: Vanessa Kirby (locked in).
>Amanda Seyfried also considered.
abbott & the irish frick would not have been good. Gyllenhall would have been great but nerds spergs out cause he was mysterio. I’m content with Pedro. Star power
Stone would have been kino, Kirby is find
We could have had butler… man Mescal was w/e for me. But Butler…. He’s way better than Eddie Munson.
> I’m content with Pedro. Star power
Pedro is not star power you moron. He does any trash his agent gets him. He's not good for Reed and going from a 6'3 Mr. Fantastic in krasinski to a manlet mystery meat Mexican like Pedro is a giant downgrade. The fantastic four will flop again.
You underestimate Pedro’s appeal. Jim Halpert was a fun cameo, but it’s time for the real men to act. People are gonna watch this movie & you are gonna eat your own words buddy.
The biggest issue is that he'll be 50 by the time this comes out. That plus his other obligations means you're probably not going to see him around often or for long. Worse off, his age means Sue and Reed likely won't be having kids.
*Bob deniro & Al Pacino steps in your path*
>his age means Sue and Reed likely won't be having kids.
Dont know. MCU current thing is having teenagers take over the mantle and lecture the old
By the time Val and Franklin would be teens, Pedro's going to be a senior. I'd hope that trend would be dead by then, but even if it's not, no one wants to see the elderly hassled like that.
They are casting older people because they they want them to already have teenage kids you idiots.
If that were true, should there be casting rumors for Val and Franklin? It's also comically brave to try introducing seven notable characters in a single movie.
I don't think the FF will stick around. They'll get their own movie and then get put on a cosmic bus when the MCU does their big semi-reset after Secret Wars.
Then the X-Men will be the main line.
>X-Men will be the main line
God help us.
I was so happy when they said they were getting X-Men back, but after the past few years, My hopes are dashed. Maybe they will snap out of this diversity hire bullshit & actually start hiring quality again, but I'm not holding my breath.
THEY HAD THE WORLD IN THEIR HANDS
It is really sad.
Who gives a shit about Val (a nothing character) and Franklin (too OP to be used in any story)? No one.
They just made an Echo TV show, so complete irrelevance is ... irrelevant. At least they're some of the few semi-notable children of the legacy characters.
They might have kids already in the first movie.
>Mexican?
He just mad at a hispanic is playing reed & in his mind hispanics can only be ‘Mexican’
Pedro gets cast in dad roles because of Mandolorian (and Last of Us).
He is fine as Mando because he is always wearing the helmet. When he takes it off, for some reason he looks like a manlet wearing a suit that is too big for him.
That's because 99% of the time Mando is on screen, it's not Pedro wearing the suit.
Yes I know, that makes it even funnier when people use Mandalorian as an example of his good acting
He was TERRIBLE in WW84. Yes, that movie was total trash, but he was trash as well in it.
>The fantastic four will flop again.
Agreed.... it's like the Punisher.....Jews cannot make these characters work on film.
>I’m content with Pedro. Star power
He has not a single successful movie. Pedro is the definition of shilling for liberal points
She shoulda give the money to Margot
i hate vanessa kirbys weirdly bogged face it distracts me in every movie
So many actresses recently that have weird mouths. Like the new Supergirl. It's very weird
Vanessa Kirby is my favorite actress as of late (in this decade). She’s smoking hot.
she is hot, i first saw her in pieces of a woman, but she isn’t hotter than pic rel. There’s just something about Rebecca
>declined
based
MCU is the kiss of death to a career now so I'm not surprised
Comer had the most nice mom looking face for Sue, the others just look like turbobawds and better fits for Emma Frost.
I get the rest because they are either fringe tv stars (Ebon, Quinn) trying to cash in or can't act (Kirby) but why is Pedro doing this?
Obviously the doom casting is where the money is going
Lol this is the role I'd want. Record a couple lines in a sound booth over a weekend and you're done.
Any smart actress would turn down this boring, nothingburger of a character. Sue literally has no stories n the comics other than the Boob Window Arc.
This shit is so DOA, why even bother.
I still think Kirby can't do a believable American accent. She is gonna suck at this. That Jodie person looks like a good fit. Shame she declined.
>not hunter
Sarah Gadon has acted with Adam Driver, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jamie Dornan and Christopher Abbot
Sarah Gadon would have been a perfect Sue Storm.
I’ll be watching that mozart movie that came out when ghostbusters came out, forgot its name. It’s basically about a real life composer from italy, salieri, in a rivalry with mozart and basically it’s him being mad because mozart is better than him at music, but apparently this rivalry never happened and it’s for plays and movie. Why can i only find the directors cut for this movie?
The theatrical cut is pretty much even more rare than the star wars threatrical trilogy… i’m not fricking kidding. They added in some scenes in the now common place DC to explain some feud between salieri and Stanzi, but at the cost of the cost of the film. I think the theatrical only exist in some online bootleg torrent that you have to be smart to find. The star wars theatrical cut is essentially already out, regardless if it’s fanmade; Amadeus on the other hand has little to no work done on its original release. It’s funny, the movie won many oscars and the most in 1984, and yet it’s essentially also kinda a cultish film, though not really. But i think it’s for the best in some regard.
Johnny Storm/Human Torch
>1st choice: Paul Mescal (unavailable).
>2nd choice: Joseph Quinn (locked in).
>Austin Butler (pushed by his team, didn't get it).
>Leo Woodall (auditioned, didn't get it).
The Human Porch.
Austin is ugly as sin. Johnny is suppose to be hot. This is also a terrible choice
Ben Grimm/Thing
>1st choice: Daveed Diggs (declined).
>2nd choice: Jason Segel (declined).
>3rd choice: Ebon Moss-Bachrach (locked in).
>daveed
This is like how I would spell david if I was mocking black people for spelling names
> >2nd choice: Jason Segel (declined).
Surprised he declined to be honest. He's doing that apple show now so i guess Apple pays good money.
Don't care since it will just be the Rock suit most of the time(hopefully)
Only white people?
> Only white people?
Reed is not a mexican manlet. Pedro Pascal is not white and has a troony brother.
What does his brother/sister have to with anything? It doesn’t have to do with his acting skills. Your bias is showing, better fricking check it.
Pedro is Chilean
Victor Von Doom/Doctor Doom
>Cillian Murphy (rumored 1st choice)
>Mads Mikkelsen (rumored 2nd choice)
>Ralph Fiennes (on the shortlist)
>Jason Clarke (on the shortlist)
All KINO CHOICES!! Marvel knows everybody wants Doom to succeed.
>This argument again
When this comes out as well as the Mandalorian he will have been in two successful movies in back to back years.
And it’s only going to keep going from there along with the avengers & whatever oscarbait movie he gets along the way.
meant for
You're forgetting GoT and The Last of Us, which have an audience crossover with capeshit.
We win no matter what.
absolute kino choices
They are not going for a "gypsy" actor? Wow
This surprised me as well. I thought Feige was all about representation and diversity?
Apparently not for East Europeans, they don't exist in Hollywood eyes.
Jake already did a villain for Spider-Man.
Mads already did a villain for Doctor Strange.
How would these made sense? How would they explain it?
Multiverse. The FF won't be from the regular MCU.
The asian woman from eternals was a villian in captain marvel
Let's be honest, nobody watched Eternals.
yeah, but she was blue. the normies won't be able to tell
They made Ben Kingsley's Manderin an actor that was hired to play The Manderin by the real Manderin in Shang Chi.
but he played the same trevor slatery in both those movies
Peter Parker is a diehard starwars fan but never questioned why his boss literally looks and sounds like Mace Windu
Wasn't that guy literally doctor doom in the first movie
Weirdly enough I can see Clarke working as doom, T:Genesis was an atrocious movie but his hammy bombastic "ALL ACCORDING TO PLAN" acting really fits Victor
Crybaby Doom sounds great. /s
Murphy is likely to win an Oscar so he will tell Marvel to frick off.
>finally gets oscar
You think he is gonna deny a fat paycheck? especially if he is their top choice after winning an oscar?
Giamatti will win
Clarke
I actually really like him, he's been in some bullshit movies, but he's pretty good. Apes was good tho.
I will literally never tire of just seeing Mads Mikkelsen in shit.
Should be Michael Shannon
Don’t care about the rest now. Mads, Fiennes or even Murphy (bit over played nowadays) would be kino
I love Ralph Fiennes but I'm having a hard time imagining him as Doom.
His performance in The Menu made me see ways that he could portray Doom.
no one cares about capeshit anymore and no one ever cared about fantastic four in the first place
what the frick are they doing?
wait until the DP3 trailer comes out. everyone is going to cum their pants & say we are back (which is true)
The last few years is like the part of the movie when everything goes to shit, before the hero's overcome the villain to claim victory. Real life is going to be as formulaic as a Marvel movie.
The telling thing is how many actors, even less well known ones, are declining Marvel.
Used to be that actors begged to get into MCU movies, now they avoid them like cancer.
I'd avoid them too now, since the writers & directors have been mostly shit DEI hires. Hopefully in a few years they will circle back to hiring proper actual talented ones.
>Used to be that actors begged to get into MCU movies, now they avoid them like cancer.
Not true. They had to beg Evans to do Cap and Brie initially said no to Captain Marvel
The shit about reading lines in front a blue screen for a movie they won't even tell you the name of should make any worthwhile actor run.
Galactus
>Javier Bardem (rumored 1st choice).
>Antonio Banderas (rumored 2nd choice).
Bardem!!! he is one of my fav actors if not my fav
it can't be a coincidence, why did they want a spaniard?
Nova
>Anya Taylor-Joy (rumored 1st choice).
i thought she was gonna be the herald? makes sense since they can’t sell toys of her to us coome… collectors
Nova is the Herald.
oh apologies, i was thinking of this dude when i read nova
Fair, it's confusing. The casting call got everyone confused because people thought they were gender-flipping Silver Surfer because he's the famous Herald.
But they're doing Frankie Raye, who was called Nova, unrelated to the other, more famous Nova.
This does unfortunately mean we probably aren't getting Dick Rider. Which is fricking stupid as the destruction of Xandar off-screen sets up an origin story for the based Last Space Cop Nova story.
Unless they do be stupid c**ts and merge Silver Surfer and Frankie Raye into one character.
Anyway the cast is fine I suppose. It's foolish to ask for too much. Apparently the guy playing Johnny is impressing people in the business, Pedro is popular memebait Marvel can't resist right now, COUSIN is flavor of the month and Kirby is proven and probably eager for a big splashy role and paycheck. I don't expect anything from Marvel with this.
I would think Silver Surfer might get his own movie but Iger's recent comments suggest that might not happen now.
LET'S BRING IT
POWER OF THE NOVA FORCE
Her face looks like a PS2 character model.
these LARP threads are getting boring
Why not just have john krasinski play him again?
Didn't Scarlett Witch kill him already?
Patrick Stewart played Professor X and Anson Mount played Black Bolt in two different Universes, why can't John Krasinski?
Why are you so hell bent on Jim Halpert playing Reed? You could be shilling Gyllenhal or Driver.
John Krasinski actually looks like Reed Richards unlike Gyllenhal and Driver
What does Reed look like? Besides the salt and pepper hair? I dont know comics
he certainly doesn’t have a big bulbous nose
Okay. Tell me more about Reed
This is Reed Richards in the comics
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Reed_Richards_(Earth-65)
>earth 65
who gives a shit?
THIS is reed richards.
Chad white man
Cause Jim was a meme fancasting. He only existed to get spaghetti-ed
This shitty shill thread and the 1 homosexual hyping up this Monstrosity is scared because Marvel can already see this FF reboot is going to flop hard when it comes out.
Who cares who plays reed plays second billing to sue and will 99% get cucked
Pedro's okay, but the other ones are dogshit
Why? How many times has this batch been rebooted? Was it even popular in comics? Why?
I don't remember even knowing any of these people when I was a kid except Dr. Doom.
calm down anon it hasn’t been rebooted more than spider man. And look at how that turned out to be a money maker for both disney & sony
Yeah, but was Fantastic Four ever a moneymaker? And also everyone knew Spiderman so atleast those reboots (while shit too) made sense. Superman, Batman, Spiderman, maybe the X-Men. After that it's literally who cares involving capeshit, unless the adaptation is actually neat, like the original Blade, or Deadpool in a sense by being an edgier deconstruction of it. Why does Fantastic Four keep getting forced so hard?
No one has done it directly yet besides pixar
Done what directly? There were atleast two feature films about this crew, one with Jessica Alba and Kate Mara maybe? Plus wasn't this crew in one of the multiverse shitter flicks, I saw the webm of that douche from Office getting pulled into strings, that was pretty funny.
Checked.
What's his secret bros? How can a charisma vacuum like him keep getting roles? Does he let the producers not only cum in his face but in his ass too?
He played a dad character in Mando, so Hollywood of course automatically thinks of him if a character is a dad.
Terrible. Just terrible. This movie is gonna suuuuck
Fine
1. Leonardo dicaprio as reed
2. Jessica Biel as Sue
3. Austin Butler as Johnny
4. Jared leto as The Thing
5. Daniel Day Lewis as Doctor Doom
6. Joaquin Phoenix as Galactus
7. Matthew mchaughiney as kang
Boom
> Daniel Day Lewis becomes dictator of East European country to prepare for role, stays in power. His acting makes the population love him.
An FF movie is going to be bad? Wow. Who would've guessed?
TRAPS ARE GAY
Why is Pedro Pascal in everything? He's a good actor but every single role?
Because hollywood likes names. A big name and a familiar face sells tickets. If an actor gets a big and/or successful role that increases their name recognition it tends to snowball into them being put in fricking everything for a decade or so until their "star power" wears out.
I'm so jacked for the FF4. Just the hope of getting a legit movie for the coming of Galactus and the Silver Surfer makes me so excited. If there's a Galactus that also means we could get the Trial of Reed Richards.
There's just so much that can be opened up.
I enjoy your enthusiasm but you know it's 2024 and there's no way any of that is happening to any degree of enjoyability.
Possibly true. I'm old and like to think positively more now. I'm also old enough to remember when we had no comic book movies so I appreciate the anticipation of it possibly being great.
At least they have a bar they can get over (FF1, FF2 & F4) that we all remember clearly. They have some pressure to get it right.
There's no way to make a Fantastic 4 movie. It just doesn't play well on screen. Squiglywiggly man, human rock pile, dumb blond, walking tiki torch.
The only way is for it to be focused on either Doom or Silver Surfer and them showing up as ancillary characters.
Otherwise, just stick to animation.
It's well known that Pedro Pascal offers to take on roles at 5% of the asking rate. You may have been wondering how a no talent Z lister managed to get cast in almost every big series and film over the past decade despite still having the net worth of a convenience store owner
Is that Benny Safdie?
