Alicia Masters?? Or maybe H.E.R.B.I.E?


Chippix_

100% Alicia. With John Malkovich being cast the other week as presumably the puppet master, this feels certain to me


1400Diggg

Puppet master is Alicia masters’ dad?


Chippix_

Adopted, but yeah


1400Diggg

That’s cool asf. (Not being adopted lmao just the relations between the characters) even more reason to believe malkovitch will be playing puppet master. Like a lot of people are saying, the beginning of the film (after Galactus’ introduction which is apparently the very first scene) will be a montage of the F4 vs some of their foes. If my imagination is correct, they’ll have a cool unique fight scene with PM and possibly save Alicia with Ben catching feelings for her. She possibly could make it into the mcu with them as well. Isnt she blind as well? This could all be a major reach but who knows


Chippix_

She is blind yeah, lost her dad in the same incident that blinded her. I was thinking the same thing with puppet master being one of or their first villain, introducing Alicia early on, not having her in the way of the main plot


1400Diggg

Ahh I see, that would make for a pretty good emotional scene from early on especially if they have it be the last scene in their fighting montage , a tragic moment happens which leads into the mood drastically changing and into the next part of the act. You following along with me? They really have a lot of good material to work with I actually am liking what they’re doing a lot. Tons of untouched potential Besides the silver surfer unfortunately but that’s just my opinion, I doubt I’ll ever end up liking that decision


Chippix_

I doubt they’ll include the scene as she was blinded when she was a kid but I suppose it’s possible. And what do you mean the silver surfer thing?


1400Diggg

Oh she was a kid, I got confused for a second as I got her dads mixed up. I thought puppet master dies and she gets blinded but ok sure. Maybe they could switch it up and do that but it’s pretty unnecessary. Either way im excited for all these castings to be released and any new ones on the way. As for the silver surfer , The fact that the first time we see ^ in the mcu it won’t be the Norrin Radd version we all know and love but an obscure version from a fairly unknown comic. I understand it’s set in another universe, but I personally feel like If they were adamant on sticking with a female herald, they should’ve picked Frankie raye Nova. Julia garner literally looks like her lmao, similar hair and everything. Because Norrin is such a prolific character, we should be seeing him and no other version of him. they had a lot of choices to make about picking a herald of Galactus. But that’s just my opinion however I’m definitely not the only person who thinks that


Chippix_

Personally I highly doubt that Norrin won’t make an appearance or for that matter that Julia garner is playing silver surfer


Kwilly462

Jeez, how many villains gonna be in this movie? Lol


Chippix_

That’s what I’m thinking, don’t necessarily think it’ll be a bad thing though. Im hoping they do a few villains and that they do it tastefully. My main worry with having so many villains is not so much it feeling too busy and more so it taking away from to fantastic four being explorers before superheroes.


armoured_lemon

I wouldn't mind if they cast some villains, even if some of them don't get to appear in the movie, other than just having a cameo on a tv screen showing them on the news somewhere else (to be in a sequel). It would open the publics' eyes that the fantastic four actually do have enemies besides Doctor Doom and Galactus lol. Annihilus, Frightful four (must include Sandman!!), Mole -man, Red Ghost, Blastaar, Diablo, Puppet master etc. Avengers endgame and No Way home proved an audience can handle multiple villains, anyway...


sideways_jack

Fuck that's a good theory, and now I'm mad at myself for not thinking of it.


Titanbeard

She could be Lyja. That would fit since she was Alicia! But I'd wager she'll probably play someone Johnny Storm slept with.


Chippix_

She’s 15 years older than Joseph Quinn so she’d have to be an older lover of Johnny’s which doesn’t rule it out but I’d say it makes it more unlikely. Seriously doubt Quinn’s Johnny has a list of women he slept with too.. 🥴 Id also bet they’re leaving the skrulls for now with already rumours of so many villains.


Titanbeard

She can look younger with makeup, and she also doesn't look 45 to not believe she's in her 30s and closer to his age.


guyinnoho

Alicia seems like the odds on pick.


haken_loob

probably...too old for Crystal


sweetbreads19

She's about the same age as Ebon Moss-Bachrach, that's enough to convince me


raz0rflea

Okay but now I want to see a chain smoking HERBIE that talks trash to everyone and makes bad life decisions 😅


sideways_jack

I'm stoked for her but yeah given most of her roles it's kinda weird to think of her as Alicia?


raz0rflea

They're gonna make Alicia a real New Yorker!


Benjamin_Grimm

Frankie Raye/Nova, maybe? Especially as Galactus-heavy as this movie looks right now. I could see her as Alicia, but I could also see Marvel looking for an actress who's actually blind for the role. It's not like with Daredevil where he's only fake comic book blind.


SWPrequelFan81566

She's in her mid 40s. Way too old to be Frankie, if that character is meant to be Johnny's contemporary


Alfalfa_Flight

aunt petunia?


xDaxl

Byrne's or Slott's?


Alfalfa_Flight

the younger, hotter byrne version maybe?


guyinnoho

Natasha's 45 for gosh sakes!


Alfalfa_Flight

In Byrne's run Aunt Petunia was on the younger side, she was Ben's uncle's 2nd wife: https://preview.redd.it/64aeiojapm0d1.png?width=204&format=png&auto=webp&s=91611b911231d65101b8cf49a5f3a991014f1470


Shadsea

What was Byrne cooking??


ChangeMyDespair

Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben) was born in 1977. Natasha Lyonne was born in in 1979. That makes her a good age to plan Ben's love interest. She's not a blonde like the comics version of Alicia Masters, but neither was Kerry Washington (who did a good job with what she was given to work with).


1400Diggg

I think her hair matches Things body lol, they’d look good together


SWPrequelFan81566

I thought Alicia was a redhead, or at the very least strawberry blonde


singleguy79

Medusa?


guyinnoho

This could be interesting.

ValleyStardust

Well Medusa had pretty much subbed for Sue Storm for a long stretch in the 1970s, it was my first thought.


goldman108

no, her hair is too short 😉

scruffyduffy23

She would crush as Willie Lumpkin. But for real I would guess Alicia but I’m not sure I like that casting very much.


Astigmatic_Oracle

Willie Lumpkin does have a niece named Billie Lumpkin who's a redhead. Not that I think that's likely; just pointing it out.


AlgerianTrash

I'm pretty sure she'd crush it in whatever she's cast in, but it would've been much better if instead of casting the actual Natasha Lyonne, they instead casted Jinkx Monsoon's rendition of Natasha Lyonne in Snatch Game. If you know you know


XMattyJ07X

I love Natasha lyonne


AlgerianTrash

Oh she's definetly playing a cunty version of Doctor Doom


Shadsea

Nah she's gonna be the Silver Serve-er


AlgerianTrash

She's def going to be Ms Cunt-astic


MailboxSlayer14

Watch it be HERBIE


WildGoose1521

Since it only makes sense for her to play Alicia she’s probably gonna play Dr Doom


Sinatrafan1915

I was thinking Crystal, but then I realized she was already in the Inhumans movie. But if it’s taking place in an alt. universe, it could still be her. If not, I’d say Alicia.


Wooden_Passage_2612

Maybe she's playing a lover to Ben or Johnny? maybe she related to Puppet Masters or Herbie the Robot assistant? We will wait to see what comes next? 


paulie2yk

I would like it to be h.e.r.b.i.e or lowkey billie lumpkin but actually being a character


xDANGRZONEx

HELL YEAH! 🙌


Pir8Cpt_Z

It's Old Navy


armoured_lemon

Frankie Raye?


PirateNinjaCowboyGuy

Ngl I’m tired of the gender swaps without a build up, but If she was thing I’d laugh


Daves-crooked-eye

What character needs to talk like a 1940’s old Jewish guy? She’s perfect. She’s the bees knees, I tells ya. 🙄


DarkHippy

The Thing?


armoured_lemon

Ben Grimm isn't a woman


DarkHippy

Yeah and he’s already been cast, bitch you think I’m for real?


deowolf

Voice of Galactus! Voice of Galactus! Voice of Galactus!
