Old MCU Fantastic Four Discussion Thread

I don't think so. And even if the translator didn't know and didn't care to check, I believe it would be translated with male pronoums by "default" which is what usually happens in my language.

Spoiler

My bets are Al Pacino as Mephisto, or Wanda bringing a FOX version of Magneto, either McKellen or Fassbender. But I would love to be surprised.

Spoiler

I'm not sold on the magneto hype just yet. Especially McKellen, he is too old to be bringing into anyone's universe imo(not that I'm sold on Pacino either.) And I'm not sold Peter's is playing the foXmen pietro. I think it'd more tongue in cheek casting by marvel.

I would agree that Evans Pietro isn’t really the Fox-Silver if we didn’t know this show was tying into Multiverse Of Madness. I think it’d be an incredibly weak fake-out not unlike the Mandarin twist in Iron Man 3 if they simply make him an imposter. If he was just an imposter, then they could’ve brought back ATJ, or if he wasn’t available simply not even bother with addressing ATJ. Not to mention it’d be too creatively safe and simple. I’m still under the impression he’s the real guy from the Fox-Verse only brainwashed into thinking he’s the MCU version. This would be a golden opportunity for Marvel to plant the seeds of the Multiverse that we will see in not only Multiverse Of Madness, but the third Spider-Man film(whatever the subtitle is). I would be incredibly disappointed if it’s just a fake imposter.

The actor Bettany is talking about could be

Spoiler

Cumberbatch. While they were both in Infinity War/Endgame, they may have never crossed paths on set.

Spoiler

Cumberbatch and Bettany shared scenes in Creaton, the Darwin movie.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

It's probably a guy then.

 

[Boom]

Dr. Doom - Christian Camargo

 

[The Lazarus Pit]

Wow Pacino as Mephisto would be epic. The Devils Advocate is a 5/5 movie for me, it’d be cool to watch Pacino reprise a similar role.

It is. Monica even said "my guy" in last week's episode

Can't wait for Reed to flex on Tony Stark. His first scene should immediately, show he's smarter.

 

[Crimz]

I wonder when we'll get casting announcements. I am pretty sure that WandaVision won't introduce anyone from the team.

We will know by this summer typically when SDCC is supposed to be

That answer hinges on whenever they decide to introduce the characters. If they want to introduce them this year in any of the movies/shows shooting or about to shoot then we could get casting news for them this year.

If Marvel doesn’t plan to mention or use the FF characters in shows and movies opting instead to introduce them in their own movie then we’ll likely get casting next year. Seeing as it’s a safe bet that MCU FF will likely be a 2023 film like GOTG3 so they have to have a cast rounded out by then since 2022 will likely be the year when the FF film shoots. The GOTG cast was announced in early 2013 a year before the movie came out in 2014. So it’s likely they follow a similar trajectory when the FF are cast.

Watts is currently filming Spider-Man 3, and once that wraps up he’ll be pretty busy with post-production work on that movie. Doesn’t mean he can’t double task it, and work on post-production on that film while working out the story with the writer. But he’ll have his hands full for a little while until he finishes post-production. Then he’ll be working full steam ahead on FF.

Hollywood Reporter has reported that Marvel is looking for a writer for the FF. Once we get a writer confirmed for the project than that’s the big part of the domino that will fall towards getting towards casting.

Now I say all this ignoring the possibility of COVID-19 delaying things further. I think if BW doesn’t get a dual theatrical/Disney Plus release then they likely delay the movie to August and that might impact things with regards to the FF movie release. We’ll see.

Lmao, well metaphorically of course.

Reed is the #1 mind in the Marvel Universe. I hope they allow him to become the Maker.

 

[Silvermoth]

Not sure how they’re going to square that now that Shuri is the most intelligent person in the mcu

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Is there any hard evidence that F4 might be in AM3 or is it just rumours.

I would be greatly opposed to Reed becoming the Maker in the MCU. However, if they do go the multiverse route with the FF I would not mind MCU Reed fighting an evil alternate version of himself from Fan4stic(who has become the Maker now). I could see Teller coming back to play the Maker.

Rumors. Though it seems possible he can appear I’m not holding my breath.

I see, thanks.

I am still holding hope as I want to see the F4 asap.

 

[Detective Conan]

It’ll likely be awhile before Reed and the others are cast but I do think we’ll get our first name drop of any of FF members soon. Steven Strange was name dropped in Winter Soldier before the character was cast after all. So it stands to reason we’ll get the sane thing with the F4.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I would think that when the F4 are cast, it will be at a live event such as D23 or Comic-Con or even a special Marvel event like how Chadwick was introduced.

Eh, its always good to flex on a dead supervillain.

Agreed but Tony Stark isn’t a villain

 

[Detective Conan]

Man, wouldn’t it be the most deliciously F-upped twist of all time if the villain of WandaVision ended up being Fan4stic Reed Richards who’s now the Maker, and he’s secretly the one working with

Spoiler

Agatha Harkness.

This actually really solidifies my conviction in not wanting Krasinski as Reed. I just don't see it.
