Old MCU Fantastic Four Discussion Thread

[Myrlande]

The Fantastic Four are the EASIEST PLUG & PLAY characters for the MCU. Have Hank be friends of say Reeds parents / family & fund the mission & be done with it & actually have even MORE reasoning to go up into Space in modern day with the tech they have. I know Earth relies on The Avengers but sooner or later Id imagine they wanna start planning Colonization of other Planets & what not for Humans. This could be what gets Reed into Space to help out

With Hanks tech alone they can now easily get Buildings & Houses & anything really on other Planets

 

[Willie Lumpkin]

What I really like about the Krasinsky and Whedon rumors is it sounds like something might actually be happening. Like when intelligence people are monitoring terrorist communication and notice increased "chatter". It may not tell them exactly where or when something is happening, but it gives them a good clue that something is happening.

 

[Albright]

I don‘t trust those rumors. Why should we hear casting rumors of a movie that has its slot probably 10/22 or 03/23, when we hear not much about Doctor Strange 2 casting and absolutely nothing about Black Panther 2

The Fantastic Four may be making an appearance before their own movie, however. So that could be why they are casting of these roles now as opposed to later.

They cast Blade & who knows when that movie is coming out. Or when & if he will show up else where before his solo

 

[Detective Conan]

Unsurprisingly, Comic-Con has been cancelled, and there is no D23 this year so there is no chance we will get a real FF announcement this year.

Yeah, and with Covid delaying other projects, that may give them a chance to slip them in to an upcoming production for which they wouldn't have been ready under the original schedule.

Its too early anyway.

 

[Silvermoth]

I’m wondering what happens with future announcements now. Just a press release? Or is everything cancelled til later. Surely they could just press release it. I wouldn’t mind

[EnDz0n3]

but the risk of Joss putting lips on Doom's faceplate

HA!

 

[Marvel united]

I love the 60s idea because it gives the F4 a unique aesthetic. Take full advantage of

 

[Zorro]

John Krasinski as Reed or bust!

 

[psylockolussus]

I want a 2024 release!

 

[Albright]

I don’t want a release based on a numberjust it looks cool on a poster. I want it, when it fits but also as soon as possible

I didn't ask you though. I was stating what I want and suddenly its about you?

2024 sounds fitting for a F4 film.

 

[fan4stic]

Adam Driver as Reed

Robert Kazinsky as Ben

Dianna Agron as Sue

Dacre Montgomery as Johnny

 

[Dark Raven]

Adam Driver as Reed

Robert Kazinsky as Ben

Dianna Agron as Sue

Dacre Montgomery as Johnny

Heck no to such a nerdy-looking Reed. We don't need that kind of image propagated all the time.

I may not think the actor's handsome, but he doesn't have to look nerdy. To me, that was among the easier images to use of the actor with short hair.

 

[BobJM]

Adam Driver would be a good choice; I never understood the flack against him as Reed.

Bill Hader
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Oscar Isaac
John Krasinksi
Ryan Gosling
Chris Pine
Adam Driver
Penn Badgley

These are all names I could see Marvel announcing, with JGL being a dark horse.

I've seen some of those names bandied about for key characters.
But Channing Tatum for Ben? That's a new one to me and it REALLY works! I could see him killing it as Ben, and it's a much better fit for Channing than Gambit.

 

[VictusMortuus]

Adam Scott or Andy Samberg as Reed

Brit Marlin as Sue

Dacre Montgomery as Johnny

Seth Rogan as Ben

Dan Stevens as Doom

 

[Darkprime]

Adam Driver as Reed

Robert Kazinsky as Ben

Dianna Agron as Sue

Dacre Montgomery as Johnny

I could get behind this cast. I dont get the hate for Adam Driver hes a damn good actor. And we'd be damn lucky to get him in the MCU.

That’s the main draw for the 60s idea to me too. They could really go all out and give them costumes like the early days and just have it as one big visual love letter to Jack Kirby and Stan. The amount of Easter Eggs would be insane.

Travis Knight (Bumblebee, Kubo) wouls so amazing with a 60s F4
