Old MCU Fantastic Four Discussion Thread

[HBarnill]

I think they could bring Namor into these films the same way they bring Hulk into them. As long as he’s co-starring, there won’t be that much legal ramifications with Universal. Also because I kinda want to see him and Sue finally get together like that What If? story. It’d certainly be a different route with the characters.

 

[Marvel united]

Well if that's the case, then Lily James is already in the Disney family as she played Cinderella, so her odds must be increased as well. And she's far more suitable for Sue than Emily Blunt.

Exactly. Lily James as Sue>>>>> Emily Blunt as Sue.

 

[Crimz]

With fanarts I see a lot of the costumes having a small 4 on the left side of the chest, like in the Tim Story films. I think that Marvel should have it large and right in the middle of the chest like the comics.

Also they should go with blue and white instead of blue and black, to differentiate it further from the Fox films (and Byrne's negative costumes are one of my favorites).

 

[DalekbusterFitz]

It means Disney like to reuse its actors chances are sue will be an actress Disney has cast before being in the Disney family already increases the odds.

Not always. Disney hadn't used Karen Gillan before she was cast as Nebula in Guardians of the Galaxy.

I want a big 4 in the middle too. But I don't want black and white. I never liked that. Byrne's negative costumes are one of my least favourites.

And it's not like we've had so many versions of the blue and black from Fox. They didn't even go that route in 2015. Plus they also had the "black and white" in the Corman film, although it didn't look black.

I want to see Marvel do a proper version of the classic blue and black, with a big 4 in the centre. They can have black and white later on.

Not black and white, blue and white. While the 2015 films didn't really have uniforms, what they did wear was the same color palette as the blue and black costumes. I think there is no harm in visually making sure people know that this is very different to those films by making the costumes brighter with a blue and white design. They can always go for the blue and black in later films as Marvel likes changing up the costumes.

For a possible third film (if all goes well) they could go with the Future Foundation white or the current inverted black and blue.

I'm confident that whatever they come up with will be great. They have an amazing track record when it comes to costumes. The recent Captain Marvel one is perfect.

 

[Detective Conan]

I want the Thing to wear shorts instead of pants in the MCU. That always sort of bothered me about the Story films version of him.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I really like the inverted suits. I'd go really dark blue with the lighter blue.

 

[Frankeh]

Emily Blunts odds at getting the sue storm role have increased given her roles in Mary Poppins and Jungle Cruise. Two huge Disney movies.

I wouldn't try it, Blunt is not popular on this board (for some reason). I will always say she would be a great Sue, she's far more talented than a lot of the fancasts.

 

[Marvel united]

I've been advocating for Byrne blue and white color scheme for awhile. I like the retro futuristic space age feel it gives the F4.

Spoiler

It's fresh, it's different and it looks cool as hell.

 

[Willie Lumpkin]

I agree. It seems like a silly thing, but it's his iconic look. And there's something about having him mostly exposed that makes his look more extreme.

... but then I also want some scenes of him covering up and trying to blend in. It would probably be a hoody now instead of trench-coat and hat, but I always like when he tries - and fails - to go incognito.

Trank thought no pants Thing was this iconic look. And to think some FFINO defenders embraced that. But they embraced Mr Fantastic's springs and Human Torch's vents, as well as crash rest dummy Doom.

 

[Silvermoth]

The only perfect casting for Mole Man is Danny DeVito thankyouverymuch.

No, when they reboot him Danny should play captain America

Does anyone here feel Paul Giamatti would make a good Moleman?

I don’t know. He was already the rhino

I'll still never understand why they made Doctor Doom look like he had glow-in-the-dark skin in Fan4stic.

Because realism.

 

[Marvel united]

Tbh I wouldn't mind if Ben wore a uniform/shirt like all of the other members. A uniform tailored made for him

 

[DawnWarrior]

I don’t know. He was already the rhino

So? Captain America and Killmonger were already Human Torch. And Vulture was already Batman.

 

[Silvermoth]

Maybe.

Hey I thought of a fun choice for Ben Grimm. Brad Garrett!



- Jewish
- tough guy but also loveable
- quintessional uncle type
- well known actor/star power
- let’s be honest, when we think of Ben Grimm’s voice we’re more likely to think of Brad’s than rogen’s.

I mean, Ben is arguably the most iconic member of the ff so why not shoot for the stars

Downside is that he's almost 60. They are going to want someone much younger than him for a role as active as a superhero, especially when they would want a franchise that's at least 10 years. He'd be around 70 near the last parts of the franchise.

I think the aim should be younger, mid 30's to the max mid 40s when it comes to Ben and Reed.

I don't hate her in general, but for Sue. I do not like it, she doesn't feel or look right in the role to me.

 

[Dark Raven]

Exactly this. I don't find her suitable for the role at all. Not when there are plenty of other actresses with a warmer, softer look.

 

[Marvel united]

Agreed. So many choices that are better fit than her

 

[Spider-Fan]

I would be happy with Blunt, personally.

 

[Darkprime]

Anyone buy into this theory? Would be cool Id just find it odd if it turned out to be true and that the Netflix MCU got to set this up.

[fan4stic]

I think Blunt has a warmth of sorts to her.
