I like the Anston Mount choice, but how about Guy Pearce?

terry78 · 01-27-2013, 09:49 PM

You never notice how superhero Mount looks when he's not all scruffy looking.

Project862006 · 01-27-2013, 10:52 PM

Guy Pearce would be a great reed

bubbadoom · 01-28-2013, 09:14 PM

Pearce looks good, too - but Mount seems a bit more Kirby-ish.

I would be happy with Josh Brolin or Ben Affleck, too.

The important thing is to loose the "nerd" bs and make him a confident adult - maybe a little "absent minded" at most, but not even too much of that...

Rowsdower! · 01-29-2013, 06:21 PM

I like Noah Wyle for Reed. He can be nerdy, heroic and fatherly all at the same time.

bubbadoom · 01-29-2013, 07:04 PM

Hell NO[ah] - our last Reed looked better than him!

Reed is not and should never be presented as "nerdy"..

Rowsdower! · 01-30-2013, 10:56 AM

Reed has come off nerdy in pretty much ever comic book I've ever read that featured him.

Maybe in more recent comics. But when he was originally created he was a square-jawed adventurer who had a habit of being distant due to his fascination with science. Makes sense because back when he was created scientists were considered to be authority figures.

Rowsdower! · 02-01-2013, 09:22 AM

Perhaps, but these days, nerdy is cool, so I think it could even out. I wasn't suggesting that I want Reed to come off like a character from The Big Bang Theory. Just someone with an encyclopedia-style mind. Wyle is good at that without coming off annoying.

terry78 · 02-01-2013, 11:12 AM

Wyle came off real Bruce Banner/Reed Richards in that Librarian movie.

Never saw that, but he's an awesome Reed/Bruce type character on Falling Skies.

I like this choice....

The main thing people keep forgetting that the key is a FRANCHISE. You want someone who's most likely going to look today AND ten years from now.

Project862006 · 02-03-2013, 10:01 PM

10 years from now? how many f4 do you want at most a trilogy would take up 6 years

Spider-Fan83 · 02-03-2013, 10:15 PM

well look at x-men, you have most of the original cast returning after 12 years...

a trilogy may only take up to 6 years but, its nice to know the opinion is open to bring them back for more, if you can

Project862006 · 02-03-2013, 10:45 PM

well was'nt rdj 43 when he did iron man lol

reed imo should be a man in his 40's he is an older man and most suggestions here are older men

A hell of a lot more than three!

If they can do 20 something Bond movies over 50 years, why not the FF?

Think BIG!

Project862006 · 02-05-2013, 09:34 AM

still whats wrong with a 40 year old actor iron man and hulk are played by 45 year old actors

most reed suggestions are older men

Spider-Fan83 · 02-20-2013, 07:57 AM

40 is fine, its the 45-50+ y.o. suggestions that I'd have concerns about, in terms of how well they would age over the course of the series (rather is just a trilogy or beyond)

BatsDC · 02-20-2013, 08:03 AM

I'd quite like to see David Tennant in the role.

They should be fine casting an actor up to about 45 years old. Early forties would be good for Reed.

TheAQU4M4N · 03-01-2013, 01:59 AM

He may be a little old for it, but I want Bruce Thomas as mr. Fantastic. He did mo cap fo master chief and was on kyle xy.

Crosswind Ghost · 03-07-2013, 01:31 AM

May be too old but, I think John Hawks would make a terrific Reed. Incredible actor, extremely likable.

I adore this suggestion.

FVD · 03-23-2013, 03:09 AM

Richard Armitage. Hopefully by the time he's finished on the Hobbit Trilogy he could be made available for this. Like the idea of Billy Crudup too.
