He should go and make a Putin biography and win an academy award.

 

[Silvermoth]

If they make a doctor doom movie it would be like a Putin movie

Do you reckon vlad would hack rotten tomatoes to give it ten stars?

 

[Silvermoth]

Imagine if this was a glimpse of Thor helping Susan storm with her lipstick?

One might want to offer their lips to her as a lipstick blotter.

Kind of an unconventional choice for Namor but I say...Rami Malek.

I would LOVE to see him as Moon Knight. Isn’t it funny how some people just scream marvel superhero?

My ideal Moon Knight is Jonathan Tucker. I think he's got the right amount of crazy for Mooney.

As for the FF I think that the best way to introduce them is to make their first film a 60's set period piece. Movie ends with them getting stuck in the Negative Zone or something and maybe you use that as an excuse to get them into the modern age. There are so many ways they could have the FF time travel to the modern age. I just think introducing them in the 60's is the smartest way to go.

I definitely want to see Dragon Man appear. Give the movie a fantastic beasts and where to find them vibe but without creepy Depp

So... boring?

 

[Silvermoth]

Ha! Cheeky. But no I mean whimsical and with imaginative animals and stuff. Just go wild with it

 

[HBarnill]

Yeah

 

[David H.]

I know there aren’t many ways in which the character being this age would would be practical (and none of them are particularly popular here) but Colin Firth as an older Reed Richards?

 

[Web-Head]

I don't really know him, but based just on the photo, he seems like he'd be perfect for playing a young Vladimir Putin.

After seeing Red Sparrow with my brother he said the same thing :hehe

 

[HBarnill]

Marvel Studios generally doesn't bother with race-swapping unless it's just the supporting characters of the main heroes(Heimdall and Valkyrie comes to mind).

Marvel could've easily race-swapped Peter Parker for the MCU but they opted for the traditional route and cast him accurately(ethnicity-wise) and race-swapped a lot of Peter's supporting casts from the comics like Liz, MJ, and Flash Thompson instead to meet the 'diversity quota.' Peter Parker/Spider-Man is just too iconic as a Caucasian to alter his ethnicity(even though his skin color is covered entirely by his costume). Same goes for the Reed Richards for me and many others.

So I can't see Marvel race-swapping any of the Four but I can see them race-swapping the Fours supporting cast/villains around - Willie Lumpkin, for instance, could be race-swapped and no one would bat an eye since he's a minor character that very rarely has any bearing on any of the FF stories.

But I'd prefer the main heroes to look the way they do in the comics(racially). I don't want a non-white Reed Richards. Now if Marvel casted a non-white in the role would I be a bit disappointed? Yes. Can I accept it and not be a cry-baby about it? Of course. Because what matters most is capturing the essence of the character from the comics and if the actor can transcend not looking the character and essentially do an amazing portrayal of the character than that's all that really matters.

DC cast Will Smith as the Deadshot and nearly cast Denzel Washington as Lex Luthor. Nobody batted an eye about the former and really wanted the latter to happen. I think comic book fans are more open minded than Hollywood gives them credit for. Representation matters, period.

Yeah I still want Oscar Isaac for Reed

 

[HBarnill]

Yeah I still want Oscar Isaac for Reed

Yeah, I’d love for him to be in a CBM.

 

[Crimz]

He's my first choice for the role.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Oscar issac would bring so much charisma to Reed. He's my top choice for the role.

 

[David H.]

Yeah, I’d love for him to be in a CBM.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

The less said about that the better.

 

[Crimz]

I'm really happy that all the make-up in Apocalypse made Isaac look unrecognizable. It leaves him open to future roles in other CBM's.

 

[David H.]

The less said about that the better.

t:

I would like to see Isaac in the MCU tho. I still think he would’a been a better Dr. Strange than Cumberbatch.

 

[HBarnill]

Like I said, I’d love for him to be in a CBM.

 

[DyeLorean]

Oscar Isaac for Reed? Oooh. Interesting. I like that choice.

He really would and I think he would absolutely nail the role and a great addition to the MCU. I just hope they don't think he's too old by the time the F4 movie gets goin'

I have no idea who would be a good Sue next to his Reed though. My choice is Blake Lively but I'm not sure she'd be a good fit with Isaac.

I think he would've been a good Strange too. I'm glad we have Cumberbatch though, especially after seeing him in Infinity War.
