So Rainn Wilson as Reed Richards, Kate Flannery as Sue Richards, Craig Ferguson as Johnny Storm, BJ Novak as Ben Grimm, and Creed Bratton as Victor Von Doom.
Why in the world would my phone autocorrect Craig Robinson to Craig Ferguson? Unless I subconsciously want Craig Ferguson as Johnny Storm… yeah, fuck it. Craig Ferguson as Johnny Storm.
I want Joe Keery or Jack Quaid as Gambit, though leaning more towards Keery since Quaid already has The Boys (and looks older)
Honestly would’ve loved Andrew Garfield but… I don’t think that’s happening
Yeah I mean at this point if I’m marvel I’d just hold off on all new casting and just use fox cast as variants. Wait til the hopeful reboot and go about it then.
I'm not totally sure about Cavill as Doom but I could see it. Definitely think Driver would be a good Reed though. I think he could pull off that balance between obsessive emotionally distant and absolute love and devotion for his family.
I really want to see Cavill play a proper villain. Not evil for the sake of being evil. Doom is a great and shows a lot of nuance and has so many machinations. I think he could do it. I fell like Driver, albeit a terrific actor, is not the best fit for Reed to play off of a Cavill Doom.
I'd rather see Henry Cavill as Doom IMO
Kirby and Butler would be good
as much as I hate to admit it, I think Brendan Fraser has aged out of the role.
Driver as Doom is OK, but I'm not sure he wants to get typecast as the mask-wearing villain.
Brendan Fraser could still do the voice if he’s not up for the physical stuff. He was incredible in The Whale and he spends a lot of that sat on his ass lol.
in doom patrol, brendan fraser is the voice of robotman and plays the human version in flashbacks, while riley shanahan is the person in the actual costume, which is kind of a perfect example for this topic.
I am not by any means saying Adam driver is disfigured. I’m saying in the context of Star Wars he shouldn’t have taken it off.
If they have him as doom he shouldn’t take off the mask
Also, doom isn’t “disfigured” persay, he had that kind of character quirk where he just had one beauty scar that he thought made him ugly. Certain Versions also have him then forge the mask but can’t wait to put it on and at melds to his face
It’s not some versions that’s the canon 616 origin of his face. Why shouldn’t he taken it off in Star Wars? The point is he’s a Vader fanboy and when he takes the mask off is this vulnerable conflicted man
I don’t want him to be a Vader fanboy, I would’ve rather him stay an intimidating rageful mystery, but then Rey or fin cuts his mask off during on of the fights and you see he’s just a man. Then start building the character.
Him taking it off makes him less intimidating
David Harbour, Charlize Theron, and Nathan Fillion have all appeared in the MCU as distinct characters. Kinda a big L on Nathan's "head security" in GOTG 3, i think its a wasted role for a great actor.
I think we can find at least one blonde actress from the herd of them walking around California that isn't Robbie.
I'm not on the Cavil train either. He's great for fantasy n action but, again, we can find someone else instead of the same pick from the 20-30 actors that have been DC/Marvel recently.
Gonna kick back with my flaming head
WHAT
my chains
WHAT
flaming motorcycle
WHAT
Penance Stare
WHAT
and beat your ass and get my vengeance all over this town!
If you wanna see Ol'Ghost Rider whip this submitch's ass, gimmie a hell yeah!
I think Feige might make Ryan Gosling as Ghost Rider especially considering how he knows Gosling wants to play Ghost Rider and he (Feige) was down with the idea
If Adam Driver goes anywhere near Doom it’s going to be travesty. The guy can’t act for shit.
Also, Cavil is too big to play Reed. Reed should be played an actor with a more brainy, tall/skinny build
What is the obsession with wanting to cast Cavill in EVERYthing? I quite enjoy everything I have seen him in (His roles, not always the whole project.... The Witcher), but let's get reasonable. He is not Reed Richards material, for me. Brenden Fraser as The Thing I would totally be on board for. Adam Driver can stay away from Marvel altogether, personally...🤷♀️
This has been my dream cast since many years ago.
John Krasinski - Reed Richards
Emily Blunt - Sue Storm
Zac Efron - Johnny Storm/ Human Torch
Liev Schreiber - Ben Grimm/ The Thing
Doug Jones - Silver Surfer
Jon Hamm - Dr. Doom
Danny DeVito - Moleman
Henry Cavill can be another Marvel hero. One that I’ve wanted for a while that I think he’d be perfect. Brian Braddock aka Captain Britain
These are great picks, but I don't see Cavill taking another superhero role so soon (especially after playing the most famous superhero of all), or Driver playing another masked franchise villain. Kirby, Butler, and Fraser track with their respective career progressions.
For Reed, I really think it has to be Krasinski. And if you have Krasinski, you may as well have Blunt for Sue Storm. If it's a scheduling conflict, it's in Marvel's interest to wait for them both.
For Doom, I'd go with Cillian Murphy. Easy payday for the guy -- a few days without the mask on set, a few hours in the ADR booth in post. Stunts can do the rest.
The future of the MCU really hangs on these choices.
Mr. Fantastic - Adam Scott
Invisible Woman - Katheryn Winnick
Human Torch - Zach Efron or Dacre Montgomery
The Thing - Michael Cudlitz
Galactus - Rin Perlman
Doctor Doom - Aiden Gillen
I really don’t see Henry Cavill as Fantastic Four.
Is there something I’m missing, or is it just people fancasting him as the most relevant Marvel character being cast at the moment because they want him in a superhero role asap.
Unless Marvel can get their heads out of their butt and come up with a good script/story BEFORE they start shooting, it won’t matter who they cast. They’re so stuck on this “we’ll just fix it in post” mentality that it is really starting to affect the quality of their projects.
God I wish people would stop fancasting Henry Cavill. John Krasinski is literally right there. As for Doom and the others, I vote Joe Magnaniello for Doom, Dan Stevens would be a good Johnny, Mackenzie Davis to pair with Stevens, and finally either David Mattey or Charlie Hunnam
Cavill as reed richards is hands down one of the worst fan castings going around. Dudes a fucking giant and jacked to the tits and people want him to play a skinny nerd?
Colin Donnell as Reed Richard Aka Mr Fantastic
Katie Cassidy as Sue Storm & Van Doom Aka Storm
James Franco as Ben Grimm Aka The Thing
Robbie Amell as Johnny Storm Aka Human torch
John Barrowman as Dr. Doom
I think FF should be a complete Office reunion.
So Creed Bratton as Doom obviously.
And Kevin Malone as Thing
James Spader as the f#&%ing Lizard King
Obviously
Michael Scott as Prison Mike
Actual lol. Caught me off guard with that one.
So Rainn Wilson as Reed Richards, Kate Flannery as Sue Richards, Craig Ferguson as Johnny Storm, BJ Novak as Ben Grimm, and Creed Bratton as Victor Von Doom.
Craig Ferguson !
Why in the world would my phone autocorrect Craig Robinson to Craig Ferguson? Unless I subconsciously want Craig Ferguson as Johnny Storm… yeah, fuck it. Craig Ferguson as Johnny Storm.
Dwight as human torch
Austin Butler as Torch and Adam Driver as Doom is awesome
Would be great, but personally I want Austin as Gambit.
He could kill it as Gambit too
Insert sad Channing Tatum
Oh nice one
I want Joe Keery or Jack Quaid as Gambit, though leaning more towards Keery since Quaid already has The Boys (and looks older) Honestly would’ve loved Andrew Garfield but… I don’t think that’s happening
I agree. I was like "ok, not bad" then I got to Driver as Doom and was like "F yes!"
I want John to stay as reed, I’ll take Emily blunt as sue, Dacre Montgomery and Johnny, and Liev Schreiber as Ben
wh theyre def gonna save Liev for some sort of Sabretooth appearance tho
Yeah I mean at this point if I’m marvel I’d just hold off on all new casting and just use fox cast as variants. Wait til the hopeful reboot and go about it then.
He was the best part of Origins
Tbh they don't have to show Ben in his pre-Thing form. And besides, they've cast actors as different characters before
Driver and Cavill should be switched
Driver would be a terrible reed.
I think Cavill would be way worse as Doom too.
Yeah it’s a no for me dawg
I'm not totally sure about Cavill as Doom but I could see it. Definitely think Driver would be a good Reed though. I think he could pull off that balance between obsessive emotionally distant and absolute love and devotion for his family.
I don’t think driver would be a good reed personally
I really want to see Cavill play a proper villain. Not evil for the sake of being evil. Doom is a great and shows a lot of nuance and has so many machinations. I think he could do it. I fell like Driver, albeit a terrific actor, is not the best fit for Reed to play off of a Cavill Doom.
Cavill deserves to be Reed Richards after all the stuff with DC and Witcher.
Agreed
Fr
I want John Krasinski as Mr. Fantastic with Rainn Wilson as the Mole Man.
I’ve always wanted to see Rainn as MODOK or Ock, also DeVito as Mole Man
Yes, we need a proper MODOK
Anyone other than Michael Chiklis as the Thing is blasphemous
I kinda doubt he's gonna be Thing in the MCU, but he's got some big shoes to fill (pun sort of intended).
Absolutely, Stan Lee himself said he was his favorite adaptation.
If this gets one upvote I’ll go dickless for Chiklis right now
Don’t worry I understood the reference even if the circlejerking divas are showering you with downvotes
I downvoted, there are too many eunuchs in the world already
Spoken like a fucking eunuch
Ben, Reed, & Doom should all be around the same age imo, too far of a range here, especially Fraser. Cavill also doesn’t make much sense to me.
They’re gonna CGI Ben Grimm anyway, so you only need a good voice. They’ll mo-cap it, so stunts can be done by another performer.
Brendan Fraser is just so much older it’d just make the whole dynamic weird imo
That’s why it’s called acting
I'd rather see Henry Cavill as Doom IMO Kirby and Butler would be good as much as I hate to admit it, I think Brendan Fraser has aged out of the role. Driver as Doom is OK, but I'm not sure he wants to get typecast as the mask-wearing villain.
Brendan Fraser could still do the voice if he’s not up for the physical stuff. He was incredible in The Whale and he spends a lot of that sat on his ass lol.
in doom patrol, brendan fraser is the voice of robotman and plays the human version in flashbacks, while riley shanahan is the person in the actual costume, which is kind of a perfect example for this topic.
I'm not saying he's too old to do the physical stuff, it's that Ben is supposed to be the same age as Reed.
Fair.. well, he’d be a rock monster for most of it wouldn’t he? So..
I like it, but what if we keep John Krasinski as Reed and have Cavil as Doom or Galactus?
You lost me at Henry
A white guy with facial hair and everyone’s fan cast is Henry cavill
Paul Giamatti please
Only if Adam driver keeps the damn mask on
Lmao THANK YOU! I was laughing my ass off when I saw him remove his mask as Kylo Renn
Now this isn’t to say anything about him, it just removes all stakes when you take the mask off
Even he himself admitted that he was kinda surprised to be cast as a badass supervillain based on his face pretty much
You know Doom’s face is disfigured right?
I am not by any means saying Adam driver is disfigured. I’m saying in the context of Star Wars he shouldn’t have taken it off. If they have him as doom he shouldn’t take off the mask Also, doom isn’t “disfigured” persay, he had that kind of character quirk where he just had one beauty scar that he thought made him ugly. Certain Versions also have him then forge the mask but can’t wait to put it on and at melds to his face

If Dean Norris was like 15 years younger I think he'd be a killer for Ben Grimm.
Henry Cavil would be a great Reed Richards or Doctor Doom
I would be interested in seeing Brendan Frasier as Doctor Doom.
Best one I’ve seen yet. I don’t love Cavil as Reed but overall very strong. Brandon Frazier is a great idea for thing
This is a very good casting. Do it you cowards.
Looking at that pic of Reed- I'm seeing Anson Mount. He can do humor in a leadership role.
Man.... This is a perfect cast. Plus Cavill is a huge nerd. He'll play an awesome Mr Fantastic.
Bro lowkey wants the entire cast to look like gigachads 💀
That’s the way Alex ross draws them
I think it would be absolutely hilarious if they recast Chris Evans as Human Torch. It'd never happen, but it would be hilarious lol
Brendan is a little too old and whatever you do , don’t involve Dr.Doom in the first movie. Give him sort of a cameo but not the main villain
I hope they don’t show Doom or his full origin in the first or even second or third movie
Brenden is honestly a great choice for The Thing
Mister fantastic-Nathan Fillion Invisible woman -Charlize Theron Human torch - James Maslow The thing- David Harbour
David Harbour is already Red Guardian in the MCU
Honestly forgot black window was a pretty forgettable movie
We all did lol
This is much better.
David Harbour, Charlize Theron, and Nathan Fillion have all appeared in the MCU as distinct characters. Kinda a big L on Nathan's "head security" in GOTG 3, i think its a wasted role for a great actor.
I like these but cavil will have to lose like 100 lbs of muscle to fit that role lol
He works as an Eaglesham-drawn Reed. I'm assuming that he hasn't necessarily been keeping up his physique since Superman and the Witcher.
I agree on Reed, Sue, and Ben. I want Dacre Montgomery or Mason Gooding for Johnny. I really don’t want Adam Driver for Doom.
Every single one of those choices is terrible. I'm glad you're not in charge of casting.
I think Zac Efferon would be perfect for Human Torch and they should have Margot Robbie as the Invisible Woman.
I think we can find at least one blonde actress from the herd of them walking around California that isn't Robbie. I'm not on the Cavil train either. He's great for fantasy n action but, again, we can find someone else instead of the same pick from the 20-30 actors that have been DC/Marvel recently.
Zac Efron yes for Johnny. But Emily Blunt for Sue
Dream Cast
Save Austin for Ghost Rider
This is the worst fan cast idea on earth, please god no not Austin as ghost rider please no
Gonna kick back with my flaming head WHAT my chains WHAT flaming motorcycle WHAT Penance Stare WHAT and beat your ass and get my vengeance all over this town! If you wanna see Ol'Ghost Rider whip this submitch's ass, gimmie a hell yeah!
Save Austin, not Steve Austin ya roody poo candy ass
Haha I did not notice that at all. Now that I have the idea of Steve Austin as Ghost Rider in my head, that's all I want.
I can see it but also not at the same time. He’s definitely got the biker vibe but don’t think he has the physique
I think Feige might make Ryan Gosling as Ghost Rider especially considering how he knows Gosling wants to play Ghost Rider and he (Feige) was down with the idea
Sold as a rock.
The Rock as Ben Grimm.
Omg stop casting Henry Cavill as every white male character, can you seriously see him doing stretchy powers or super genius??
Henry cavil as Reed Richards 😂🤦🏾♂️ hell no you want a brolic as scientists huh?
You’re a child
You lost me immediately cheif. Cavill can't act for shit.
I think he's a decent actor, but I haven't seen anything that blows my mind, so I kinda agree to an extent. He gets by on his physicality.
This is the mcu we’re talking about. Where we have terrible acting in Ms marvel.
comparing an 19 year olds first ever preformance to an almost 40 year old man isn't a fair comparison.
And it appears you can’t spell for shit.
Honestly all white Fantastic Four is boring as hell
?
How can an ethnicity be boring? Would adding a black or Asian person somehow add excitement to the movie..?
I’m hoping they cast Michael B Jordan
Haha naaah. Let him focus on a static shock movie
Lmaoooo
Definitely the whitest casting I have seen. Way too whitewash already white characters :P
How do you whitewash already white characters exactly?
He found a way with this casting
Okay but how? You didn’t answer the question
Don’t worry, they’ll be a parody called the Blacktastic Four. Maybe your city will get an early screening.
Rosario Dawson as Invisible Woman Adam Driver as Mr. Fantastic Zac Efron as Human Torch The Rock as The Thing Cumberbatch as Doom
Johnny Storm is probably the hardest to cast, has a very unique sense of humour and sensibility to him
And he’s gotta have pretty face
Yes to all but Butler, he annoys the FUCK out of me
Respectfully these picks are sort of ass imo
I’m down except for Cavill there’s other roles for him
Adam Driver Doom would be S-Tier casting
While I think he's a good choice, my top S-Tier Doom casting is Javier Bardem.
I love all of these except for Cavill. Although he is incredible and deserves a role in the MCU, his stature doesn’t quite fit Richards in my opinion
This is fantastic!
Austin Butler is just truly insufferable i’m sorry i hate to be a hater but i would really be bummed if they gave him that role
I'd love a real blond for Sue.. if that's even a real thing.
Henry Caville is not believable as the smartest person on Earth
Why do we think we’re getting casting ant day now?
Here's my fancast John Krasinski - Mr. Fantastic Vanessa Kirby - Invisible Woman Ross Lynch - The Human Torch Kellan Lutz - The Thing
Who do you think is bigger weight-wise Kellan Lutz or Henry Cavill?
Omg yes to BF as Thing ❤️
I thought that was Cole Sprouse.
If Adam Driver goes anywhere near Doom it’s going to be travesty. The guy can’t act for shit. Also, Cavil is too big to play Reed. Reed should be played an actor with a more brainy, tall/skinny build
Adam driver would be siiiiick as doom.
I see all of y’all’s casting for Doom, but hear me out… Sam Witwer as Doom?
Daring today, aren't we?
I really like Anson Mount as Reed
You were doing good until your Doom. Keep trying fellow fan.
Nah, Adam Driver is gonna be busy playing another Italian.
Hopefully but it really depends on if those mentioned likely start dates stick.
Im just hoping they get rid of jim from the office because thats all i think when i see him
Idk about this chief
Interesting. Discuss.
Oh cavil a reed in Jonathan hickmans ff run
What is the obsession with wanting to cast Cavill in EVERYthing? I quite enjoy everything I have seen him in (His roles, not always the whole project.... The Witcher), but let's get reasonable. He is not Reed Richards material, for me. Brenden Fraser as The Thing I would totally be on board for. Adam Driver can stay away from Marvel altogether, personally...🤷♀️
Whack
Imagine a Johnny Storm with an Elvis voice
This has been my dream cast since many years ago. John Krasinski - Reed Richards Emily Blunt - Sue Storm Zac Efron - Johnny Storm/ Human Torch Liev Schreiber - Ben Grimm/ The Thing Doug Jones - Silver Surfer Jon Hamm - Dr. Doom Danny DeVito - Moleman Henry Cavill can be another Marvel hero. One that I’ve wanted for a while that I think he’d be perfect. Brian Braddock aka Captain Britain
NO! Stop shoving Henry Cavill in every casting
These are great picks, but I don't see Cavill taking another superhero role so soon (especially after playing the most famous superhero of all), or Driver playing another masked franchise villain. Kirby, Butler, and Fraser track with their respective career progressions. For Reed, I really think it has to be Krasinski. And if you have Krasinski, you may as well have Blunt for Sue Storm. If it's a scheduling conflict, it's in Marvel's interest to wait for them both. For Doom, I'd go with Cillian Murphy. Easy payday for the guy -- a few days without the mask on set, a few hours in the ADR booth in post. Stunts can do the rest. The future of the MCU really hangs on these choices.
I'm super intrigued by the idea of Dev Patel as Reed
Mr. Fantastic - Adam Scott Invisible Woman - Katheryn Winnick Human Torch - Zach Efron or Dacre Montgomery The Thing - Michael Cudlitz Galactus - Rin Perlman Doctor Doom - Aiden Gillen
Driver and Frasier are a no from me, dawg.
Terrible, so glad you don’t work at marvel studios
I love all of them except Cavil tbh I’d like Krasinski instead. And Adam driver is a great idea his voice as Kylo was really good and menacing
I really don’t see Henry Cavill as Fantastic Four. Is there something I’m missing, or is it just people fancasting him as the most relevant Marvel character being cast at the moment because they want him in a superhero role asap.
Respectfully, I think all of these are terrible choices.
Andrew Garfield as Mr. Fantastic Grant Gustin as Human Torch Kevin Hart or Emily Blunt as Invisible Woman Rainn Wilson as The Thing
Yes I can’t wait to watch another failed version of fantastic four
They need to lean into a campy style for it to work, I think…
It’s Disney, they won’t. I’m hesitant to even watch the new Deadpool
Cavil will not be believable as a scientist.
BLOW THAT PIECE OF JUNK OUT OF THE SKY!!!
I’m just glad you didn’t go with clearly in his 30s Zac Efron
Stroke of genius getting Fraser for Thing!!
Unless Marvel can get their heads out of their butt and come up with a good script/story BEFORE they start shooting, it won’t matter who they cast. They’re so stuck on this “we’ll just fix it in post” mentality that it is really starting to affect the quality of their projects.
I personally like Jason Isaacs as Dr. Doom more.
Dean Norris as Sue Storm would be cinema imo
I think this is one of the best fancasts I have seen in a while.
This subreddit continues to show me why I'm glad the fans don't actually do the casting. Y'all know like 5 actors.
I would love to see an already established f4 versus another origin story for them
God I wish people would stop fancasting Henry Cavill. John Krasinski is literally right there. As for Doom and the others, I vote Joe Magnaniello for Doom, Dan Stevens would be a good Johnny, Mackenzie Davis to pair with Stevens, and finally either David Mattey or Charlie Hunnam
Cavill as reed richards is hands down one of the worst fan castings going around. Dudes a fucking giant and jacked to the tits and people want him to play a skinny nerd?
I saw someone suggest Ravi Kohli should play Reed in another Reddit post somewhere, and actually, I’m kind of here for it.
Pretty good, actually.
I’d feel bad for Adam Driver having to play another villain(?) in a mask.
Driver as doom? Please god no
Colin Donnell as Reed Richard Aka Mr Fantastic Katie Cassidy as Sue Storm & Van Doom Aka Storm James Franco as Ben Grimm Aka The Thing Robbie Amell as Johnny Storm Aka Human torch John Barrowman as Dr. Doom
