I’m not normally a fan of these “What If” castings, but I kind of love this one.
Reed Richards: Adam Driver, 39
Susan Storm: Emma Stone, 34
Johnny Storm: Cameron Monaghan, 29
Benjamin Grimm: Channing Tatum, 42
Franklin Richards: Child actor, 5-8
According to our intel – which comes from the same sources that told us The Falcon and the Winter Soldierwould be delayed and that Percy Jackson is being rebooted as a streaming series, both of which were correct – Marvel want Rogen for the Fantastic Four’s Thing
According to our trusted and proven sources, the latest actor to join up is Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in an as-yet-unknown Marvel project.
It seems as though all the “Fantastic Four” rumors and fan-castings will be put to rest next week as Daniel Richtman is reporting that Marvel will reveal the cast of their upcoming reboot.
And I generally feel the phrase “Those who know aren’t talking and those who are talking don’t know” has a lot of truth in cases like this. So the “scoopers” who are most vocal are probably the ones who are most full of s***t.
I doubt that we'd get a cast announcement this week, as they wouldn't want to take any attention away from GOTG 3.
For one thing, I doubt too many studios would want to have a panel while you have multiple groups picketing outside. It would be very awkward to announce actors who are on the picket lines for such huge roles. It's also highly unlikely that striking actors would even attend panels.I fail to see how the strikes will affect SDCC

Now as for the strikes themselves, I am not an insider, so anything I write from here on is just guesswork. That said, it appears very likely that the Writers Guild, whose contract is up at midnight, are going to go on strike. How long the strike will last is anybody's guess, but if they're still on strike at the end of June, it seems likely that the Screen Actors Guild, whose contract is up then, will also go on strike.
The Screen Actors Guild contracts expire at the end of June. I don't know how that would effect Marvel contracts, but if they do go on strike, studios, including Disney, which owns Marvel, might want to avoid conventions which would be an open invitation for striking parties to picket.Imo Part of their contract with Marvel is to promote the movie they are a part of- so that would be a breach of contract

I’m trying something a little different.
I asked myself, “If I could have any actors from any era, who would I cast?”
I see this as different than the “What if they made an FF film in the 80’s?”, because I’m not playing “What if”, but rather thinking about what I’m looking for.
While this is the first time I’ve actually tried to come up with specific names, I find myself comparing proposed names to people like these, and if they don’t compare favorably, I tend to dismiss them. I hope our real cast can come close to this ideal:

Reed Richards - 35 year old Jon Hamm. Don Draper was close to how I imagine Reed - He’s the smartest one in the room and he knows it, and he doesn’t have a lot of patience for people who don’t get it. Reed should be a little softer and updated for 2023, but a young Hamm could play him.

Ben Grimm - 35 year old Liev Schrieber. It’s hard to find a Jewish guy with blue eyes, but even harder to find one who has an old-school tough-guy persona along with dry, self-effacing sense of humor, but I think Schrieber could pull it off.

Sue Storm - 25 year old Grace Kelly. Grace Kelly had a larger-than-life mystique that suits Sue. She would have the ability to pull off the seemingly impossible balance of characteristics Sue needs to have. Sue needs to give the impression she can do anything and never get rattled, and Grace Kelly seems perfect for that to me.

Johnny Storm - 18 Year old Ryan Reynolds. While the adults are caught up worrying about their problems, Johnny is just having fun, and I think a young Ryan Reynolds could pull that off perfectly.
