While many fans are rooting for Marvel Studios' upcoming Fantastic Four adaptation, it feels more like a checklist item in superhero cinema than a desire to receive a genuine genre milestone. They've been working on this project for some time, and, in my view, the development and casting process has not been going well. It's crucial to acknowledge the complexity this project holds. Delegating it to an ill-prepared team could result in an uninspired rendition of a beloved classic. I can see iconic characters like Mr. Fantastic, traditionally portrayed as a dashing, intellectual giant and driven workaholic, risk being reinvented as a neurodivergent individual grappling with adult attention-deficit disorder and intimacy issues.
The casting choices so far have failed to ignite any sparks of enthusiasm in me; I advocate for complete unknowns at this point. This endeavor seems more akin to a "be careful what you wish for" scenario rather than a celebration. I get that they need to make up for lost time, as their "calendared" date is fast approaching. I hope they can turn it around in time. I hope to God not...

Well, his dinosaur movie just flopped too so maybe they don't think he's a BO draw? Maybe. Thing is no one is really a box office draw apart from Tom Cruise these days. Who else is there? The Rock? Ryan Reynolds? Actually I'd say Tom Holland. Uncharted was a very respectable hit and NWH? Nuff said.

Uncharted was a very respectable hit and NWH? Nuff said. Youre reaching there. Spider-Man the character itself is just popular. Tbh I dont think he's a box office draw. Maybe with more successful movies under his belt in the future

You know who would be great as a director for Fantastic Four? I know this will never happen though. The one and only, George Lucas

The lineup will be Adam DeVine as Mr. Fantastic, Kate McKinnon as Invisible Woman, Jonah Hill as the Thing, and Michael Cera as Human Torch. Oh, and Pete Davidson as Doctor Doom.

I love Pedro Pascal but I'm not sure he'd be my pick for Reed Richards. Though...Ive never been the biggest F4 fan so my exposure is somewhat limited.

He's older than I like but honestly I'm fine with the casting if it ends up being true. I like him as a actor.

And it has nothing to do with his capabilities as an actor, clearly he's very talented. He's also just about the right age to play the character. I also have no issue with the race swapping. Pascal is on the verge of being overexposed to me. I wish they'd have gone with a talented young cast of unknowns. They could have afforded it with this IP, which is very well-known, and big names wouldn't have been the only draw. Unknowns or lesser-known actors would allow the IP to shake off the funk of the past.

It was in the reporter, so assuming it doesn't fall apart over money, it's probably a done deal.

now I like this. I like mads. And I don’t think it’s an issue but he is such a unique presence that it makes it a curiosity that he’s already played a lead villain. Orrrrrr are they going to connect these as variants lol
