Old MCU Fantastic Four Discussion Thread

[Dark Raven]

Are you kidding? Impy is great! He could be the best wildcard ever in the MCU because he's so powerful and unpredictable. Impossible Man doesn't have an ounce of malice in him but he can do great harm and (accidental) good. Like the time he lured/allowed Galactus to devour his homeworld, Poppup, only to nearly cause the world-eater's demise through a massive case of gas. Tell me that wouldn't be fun to watch.

Stick Impossible Man in a Deadpool movie and they can go to town with him.

 

[Silvermoth]

What villain would you like to see them start with?

Think Doom & Galactus should be saved for an Avenger's crosssover

Annihilius and maybe terminus as a secondary villain. That would be fun

He always annoyed me in the comics, and they definitely shouldn't feature him as a primary character, but as a minor, side character, he could be fun.

Same. But it would be a shame to ignore some of the zanier characters.

Blastaar and Annihilus in the Negative Zone. Exploration should be at the forefront of MCU FF, something that the Fox films never did. It could also set up a possible Annihilation event film for the cosmic heroes.

Oh my gosh blastaar would be fun

 

[Silvermoth]

I wonder if they’ll mention how different times are in regards to science. Like when the FF started America was a lot more optimistic and understood the need for scientific invention but today reed will have to deal with flat earth conspiracies and people who say his gravi-polarisers cause autism or whatever

 

[LightDaggers]

I need to see him as Dr. Doom.

[BobJM]

Lol

I love Fassbender and Magneto is arguably one of the best characters in any of these CBMs, but I wouldn't be excited with this.

 

[David H.]

It’s very possible that, once the X-Verse(s) are done with, we’ll see some actors make the move to the MCU in different roles.

Is it weird that it feels like I’ve haven’t seen Fassy in anything since... Days of Future Past?

 

[Silvermoth]

Ha, we’re still on our cast fassbender as everyone thing again I see

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

My picks for Reed Richards and Sue Storm

Andrew Lincoln

Elizabeth Banks

 

[David H.]

Ha, we’re still on our cast fassbender as everyone thing again I see

Tom Hardy as Doctor Doom. It’d be perfect. He gets to hide his face and he can use whatever “accent” he wants since Latveria isn’t real so no one can judge.

 

[Dark Raven]

Andrew Lincoln looks like a villain.

 

[LightDaggers]

Ha, we’re still on our cast fassbender as everyone thing again I see

Nah, I just thought he'd be good for Doom.

 

[Jh7058622]

Andrew Lincoln looks like a villain.

I was just about to say he looks more like Von Doom than Reed.
Also is it just me or does Kristen Bell look and act just like Sue Storm?

 

[Iron_Stark]

Rick Grimes and his Apocabeard for Reed Richards.

 

[David H.]

Would Mr. Fantastic be out of breath often?

 

[Marvel united]

Lincoln would make a better Doom

 

[Jh7058622]

Marvel presents Andrew Lincoln as Reed Richards:

REED: Sue....(deep breath) Johnny! (wheez) we have to stop (coughing)... Victor. Get (inhales deeply) BENN!
*faints while gasping for air*

:Sue and Johnny stare blankly:

 

[HBarnill]

REED: Sue....(deep breath) Johnny! (wheez) we have to stop (coughing)... Victor. Get (inhales deeply) BENN!
*faints while gasping for air*

:Sue and Johnny stare blankly:

Dammit. Now I want Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Doom.

 

[Jordacar]

Elizabeth Banks

Wasn't she Peyton's pick for Sue? Anyway, I'd be down for her to direct too. I'm not joking. Stranger things have happened. Especially in this shared universe.

 

[Silvermoth]

That’s not a bad idea actually. She would be heaps of fun and can do high energy

Tom Hardy as Doctor Doom. It’d be perfect. He gets to hide his face and he can use whatever “accent” he wants since Latveria isn’t real so no one can judge.

Why not Idris Elba?

 

[Willie Lumpkin]

Why not Idris Elba?

This is an intriguing choice. My first thought was that it wouldn't work because ethnicity is part of what defines Doom.

But "Gypsies" were basically poor migrants who were distrusted and looked down on by natives. And in 2018, African migrants in eastern Europe are somewhat analogous to the Gypsies of 100 years ago.

In that case, women are just as much Gypsies as men. So let's have a female Doom.

I have heard to fan suggestion of relocating Latveria to be a neighboring nation of Wakanda’s. Don’t know that it’d do much.

It wouldn't work for a much bigger reason... Idris Elba is already in the MCU as Heimdall.

 

[David H.]

Maybe the name Von Doom comes from the Dutch?
