Marvel’s First Family Casting Thread

[Dark Raven]

Lily James is my first choice for Sue, but more as she normally is and not in Pam mode.

 

[Crimz]

Lily James is not my first choice. But her transformation into Pamela Anderson shows she definitely has versatility and can do more than the "girl next door" roles she usually gets. I think she has the potential to portray Sue well.

 

[Willie Lumpkin]

I think she would be a good choice, but let’s not overstate the difficulty of playing Pam Anderson.

Put on a ton of make-up and act dumb, and, boom, you’re Pam Anderson.

Not saying the role is Oscar worthy or anything, just that she has more range than I initially thought.

its the modern version of Michelle Williams playing Marilyn Monroe

 

[The Lazarus Pit]

Thanks for your post. It inspired me to come up with an even BETTER choice than Seth Rogen (which I believe am the first one on the internet to suggest).

Yes, get ready for what is most likely the perfect casting for Benjamin Grimm.

He IS a New Yorker.
Former footballer.

He CAN do comedy and probably drama.
And is known for playing blue collar, average joe, likeable characters.
AND he has the gruffy, VOICE for it.
The only problem is he isnt Jewish.

The guy?

Kevin James.

for some reason whenever i thought of this character of a jock and blur collar guy i thought James. But because of his age, i automatically said no. I can envision this working FANTASTICALLY well. Plus him being older and contrasting it with a younger teenage Johnny will have its advantages as he can play a mentor role.

Love this

Despite being so associated with Harley Quinn, I wouldn't be opposed to Margot Robbie jumping ship to the MCU and playing Sue. She wouldn't necessarily be my first choice but I think she could work.

 

[The Lazarus Pit]

I don’t think she’s a very good Harley so I’d be fine with it. Especially if it means someone else can play Harleen

 

[GoblinScrier]

This Fantastic Four cast leak is probably fake, but it would be so amazing

 

[Spider-Fan83]

^ Bell is the only name on that list that even kinda intrigues me

 

[Willie Lumpkin]

The idea of Glen Howerton is starting to grow on me.

He’s not an obvious choice, but he could give the character some depth - like RDJ as Tony Stark.

My concern is he could be TOO much like RDJ as Tony. I don’t want them trying to do the same thing and replacing Tony Stark with a very similar Reed Richards.

 

[Fluedd]

I kind of liked Chase Stokes as Johnny Storm. I don't know the actor, but he kind of looks the part, if he lightens his hair.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

^ dude's almost 30, tho
(but, depends on the age range their going for, I guess, an is still the youngest of that cast)

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Glenn Howerton as Reed Richards would be hilariously amazing! I’d be there opening night to watch the Golden God Denn…I mean, Glenn, as Mr. Fantastic

i approve of this if they cant get the krasinksis

I don't see how they can confuse Stark with Richards. Stark was a smart aleck and a playboy, Reed is more of a nerd and a family man. They're both brilliant and arrogant, but in different ways.

 

[John Piretra]

Krasinski's Reed will be a blend of Cap and Tony.

you say that like you know something we dont

 

[fan4stic]

Reed

Sue

Ben

Johnny

I like those, but you can't have Superman be Reed Richards. The others look like they fit well, but I don't know who they are.

 

[Stark Bauer]

I have a strong feeling that Timothee Chalamet will most likely join the MCU. Big question is, as who? Is he more suited to be Human Torch, or perhaps one of the X-Men such as Nightcrawler or Ice Man?

Let him be Nightcrawler. He already looks a bit like him even without the blue makeup. Why make him Johnny Storm who has a different look when he'd be far more suitable for Nightcrawler?

 

[Frodo]

Actually, Timothee Chalamet could pass for a young Loki in a Thor prequel .

In terms of Johnny Storm, if there's going the late teen to early 20 something route, than these are some actors I would look at

Nicholas Hamilton (21) though he's actually my choice for a young version of Pyro

Peyton Meyer (23)

Jordan Elsass , 20

While I wouldn't go for Tyler as Reed, Jordan Elsass would be a great Johnny Storm.
He's the right age and has alot of charm and personality, and he could do humor well.

I'm not hung up on him being on Superman and Lois , at the same time, he's not a household name so the GA would automatically associate him with another property.

 

[Dark Raven]

Jordan Elsass could work, but that's not the best pic of him and that top he's wearing is a bit psychedelic.

psychedilic = 60s so that COULD work
