Old MCU Fantastic Four Discussion Thread

Kind of feel the same with Dev Patel to be honest.

That's fair, but Patel has had leading roles in movies and isn't a TV actor like Kohli

 

[Detective Conan]

One POC actor that I’ve seen suggested for Reed is also Yahya Abdul Mateen. After seeing his performance as Dr. Manhattan on Watchmen, I think I could buy him as a intelligent but aloof person, but Reed Richards is a warmer character than Dr. Manhattan so he’d have to adjust his performance to suit the character more, imo.

 

[Dark Raven]

He was in a couple of episodes of Supergirl as well and I like him, but I can't see him as Reed or leading a franchise.

Oh I remember him now from Supergirl. I wasn't terribly impressed by him. He didn't exactly stand out as a leading man.

I- have you seen Lion? Patel is AMAZING in that film. He can easily be a leading man

That's a really good choice for Reed

 

[Crimz]

I also like the choice of Dev Patel, but the only thing is that he's pretty young for the role. If they want to go for a younger FF then he would be a great choice imo.

He's 30, but could probably pass for a little bit older. Not to mention it'll be a few years at least until we see the F4 pop up in the MCU. I think Patel as Reed and Lily James for Sue could work really well.

Who would you cast as Johnny and Ben?

I have not. I like idea of him as Reed since I think he’s a good actor(based on what I’ve seen of him but I dunno he seems very serious and I imagine Reed as a character with bit more warmth than what Patel has shown so far from what I’ve seen.

 

[Web-Head]

Who would you cast as Johnny and Ben?

Good question. Maybe Ross Lynch and Joel Edgerton? I think Johnny and Ben are the toughest to cast out of the 4.

I might even go with Samara Weaving instead of Lily James, if we're going with Patel as Reed.

Is there a particular moment/scene/concept you'd like to see?

For me, I want to see a scene in which Ben is badly beaten and facing a situation in which he can't possibly win... but through shear stubbornness and strength of will he does.

What's yours?

Today is the one year anniversary of Feige’s first mentioning the FF as one of the things Marvel was working on.

 

[Jordacar]

That's because on Supergirl he was bad (like "anybody could've played that role" bad), whereas on iZombie he's excellent and a main character.

I always pause before posting articles from We Got This covered because they're complete hacks.

But I figure: "What else do we have to do while we wait for anything official?"

For those who don't want to bother clicking, they're saying Galactus could show up in Dr. Strange:

I hope so. Man it is way to quiet on the Marvel front concerning the F4 and Xmen. Heck even with Blade there has been no movement and they have an Oscar winner WANTING to play him.

Also... His career spans more than the CW shows in general.

Some not well-versed in comics may ask: What does this team have to do with FF?

Well the roster usually consists of Namor, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Tony Stark and of course everyone’s favorite elastic genius Dr. Reed Richards. The MCU version of the team obviously can’t be totally faithful to the comics seeing as one member is currently deceased in the MCU but that doesn’t mean this team can’t be used as a way introduce MCU Reed. Even if Reed isn’t introduce through this team, I sure as heck would love to see him be part of it in the future.

Well they could have an Iron Man armour standing around. He had remote-controlled ones in Iron Man 3 and Spider-Man Homecoming. They could even have an empty armour just standing there so they can feel like it's a full team even if he doesn't contribute much, if at all.

 

[Crimz]

Illuminati is something you do after most of those characters are established. You don't introduce them in it. All you have is Black Panther and Strange in the MCU, so it's too early for that imo.

When it comes to Doom, I want desperately to see a scene where the United Nations is in assembly only to have the doors blown apart...Doombots march down the aisle and then line up on opposing sides, only for the REAL Doom to walk down the aisle towards the floor and makes his demands etc...

Also total 3rd person speak about becoming a god etc.

Yeah, and this is a problem I have with the suggestion of a lot of story-lines we've seen relatively recently.

if we saw something 20 years ago in the comics, that's something that happened after we already knew the characters for 40 years.

With Fox and other characters missing, the MCU is in its infancy and the basic characters still need to be introduced and defined before we start doing some of the weirder things.

That's been a frustrating thing with Hulk - we've barely seen him and they're already throwing Planet Hulk and Professor Hulk at us before we got to know just plain old regular Hulk.

What do yall want the suits to look like? Personally, I been looking through suit concept art for Ant Man and Endgame Hulk and I think something similar to those would look cool. Slightly baggy but still form fitting. Blue obviously.

 

[Dark Raven]

No. They need to move away from that same look. Apart from the colours, it's almost the same design across all Marvel's film heroes whether they're even connected or not. No leather, and no segmented pieces, knee pads etc.

Let the Fantastic Four uniforms look like it was designed by an independent mind.
