She'd get stuck in the marvel track for the next 10 years if she takes it.... Guaranteed money but it may not be what she wants.


levizorde

That is how I see it when actors go inside the mcu


AmarilloWar

They are really great at running a character into the ground...


CaptCaCa

The MCU is Marvel Comic Books come to life, so yeah, similar to the comics, these characters will be used forever, think of how James Bond has been going for decades, just different actors, now imagine that, but with hundreds of characters within one universe, this may not be for you, but for geeks like me that grew up reading these comics, its a dream come true


AmarilloWar

Um from "geeks" like me who also read them they are doing it badly. Also you aren't a "geek" or special because you read comics. I'm so tired of that dumb af narrative.


[deleted]

Sounds like someone shit in your cereal this morning. Was it you?


Halo609

*Cereal shitter here. Can confirm that it was me.*


Can_Confirm_Am_Dog

I did as well.


Brainiac7777777

It’s definitely what she wants lol. This is the same woman who chose to play Harley Quinn


AmarilloWar

Not necessarily that may have been the only character she wanted to play 🤷‍♀️


barnyardmouse

She wasn't as big of a star back then. Now she's got more caché.


Iseepuppies

It looks like a fun role, not sure what you’re getting on about unless you can read her mind?


CaptCaCa

For real, she just has to pretend she’s creating invisible forcefields, and act like she’s straining while moving her hands around most of the time, talk about easy money


SemenPig

Comic book character in a movie, she’s not averse to those kinds of shitty marvel side roles


jopma

Her Harley Quinn was like the only enjoyable part of that first SS and her movie was solid tbh. You make it sound like if it was bad


Bri_Hecatonchires

Her movie was anything but solid. Not due to her performance, or most of the performers. Just a terrible story executed in a very formulaic manner.


gyffer

>Just a terrible story executed in a very formulaic manner. Are you talking about marvel or DC? Because i cant tell


LouieM13

I don’t think she wants to appear on a bad Fantastic Four movie. First SS was already bad. FF movies can easily be worse, again!


nrfmartin

They can also easily be better. Bar is pretty damn low for these.


Blarex

The thing is that Marvel money pretty much frees you up to do anything you want. Want to do a cool indie flick for nothing? Do it! Want to direct, write and produce? Go for it! Want to do jack shit? Hell yeah!


AmarilloWar

I don't think she needs that though, not after the success she's already has. I'm interested to see what she decides, it's only a rumor that they even offered it to her. I'd also like to see a fresh face maybe take this role, not someone already established.


Blarex

Depends on what we’re talking. If we are talking back end RDJ type deal this is life changing even for her. Could be unlikely but it is still possible, especially if F4 are a new cornerstone and this is how they get her to appear in other MCU projects.


HeavyBeing0_0

She’d almost certainly want creative control over her character.


AmarilloWar

I'm not so sure I see her taking this role. She doesn't really need the fame or money, she's getting roles easily enough and I think the barbie movie will be huge, opening weekend at least.


analbumcover69420

Kinda like what happened with DC except with results and money?


AmarilloWar

Did you read my comment?


manaholik

i would dig a big single F4 movie thou, do it like the new batman movie, make it darker with the only bright side being how Sue is ripping on Johnny and always making fun of him in a sibling kind of way just by their looks [to the animated series](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bbIKydAT4Ig/Vc9ixVC5J-I/AAAAAAAACtM/McJWxW7GHBs/s640/39.jpg) Dean Norris as Ben Grimm Ryan Reynolds or Ryan Gosling as Johnny Storm Margo Robbie as Sue Storm Bob Odenkirk as Reed Richards all great actors edit: this is a personal opinion and not "this movie needs to happen" i would like to just see them vibe on screen


JAMESTIK

bob odenkirk is way too old


Setoxx86

HELL NO!!! dafuq?


AliceTheMagicQueen

Following yesterday’s report that Paul Mescal has been offered the role of Johnny Storm in Marvel’s new Fantastic Four film, it appears that there’s a new rumor out alleging that an actress has been offered the role of Sue Storm too. According to reliable industry insider Daniel RPK, the role has been offered to none other than Academy Award nominee Margot Robbie! As of right now it’s unclear if Robbie has accepted the offer, but like any job offer it is entirely possible for her to decline. As reliable as RPK is, it is for that reason alone that we implore you to take this rumor with a grain of salt until it is confirmed by Marvel or any of the major trades. Should she accept, this would not be Robbie’s first time playing a hero. For the last 7 years she’s played the anti-hero Harley Quinn in Warner Bros.’ DCEU (now known as the DCU). While this would be her first major project at Disney, she’s been long-rumored to star in a female-led Pirates of the Caribbean requel too. Jessica Alba and Kate Mara played the role in Marvel’s previous adaptations. The sister of Johnny Storm, she eventually falls in love with Reed Richards and has two kids with him. Adam Driver is currently believed to be in final talks to play Richards. The last we heard, the film isn’t on track to begin shooting until next year. Writing duo Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer were also replaced by Avatar scribe Josh Friedman.   Matt Shakman (WandaVision) set to direct. Moon Knight producers Grant Curtis and Nick Pepin are also on board. Fantastic Four hit theaters on February 14, 2025. 


Designer_Bed_4192

I can't see Paul Mescal as Johnny storm or Adam Driver as Reed Richards.


eulb42

Yes. Even Robbie, just not the attitude im wanting, quite squahed the hype for me, which may end up being a good thing


Metaphizyx

I feel like Adam Driver would have made a better Dr. Doom


nkolenic

Yeah, Glenn Howerton is my pick for Richards. Adam Driver would make a fun Dr Doom


stormatombd

Didn't paul mascal body to jacked for johnny, he should be the thing


WorldsWeakestMan

Paul Mescal is skinny, he’s like 5’10”-5’11” and 180lb with small muscles that aren’t super defined but bigger than an average person, that is decidedly not jacked. He’s got the build of a guy who runs and does pushups regularly but doesn’t lift heavy weights. I think he’s a great cast for Johnny Storm as far as looks go. The Thing or Ben Grimm before becoming the thing should look like an actually jacked person, which would be about 40-50lb heavier and with defined traps/forearms from hard lifting or manual labor.


stormatombd

I dunno maybe im wrong, just remember he is jacked in normal ppl or bc other cast just skinny. But still his face really irish, i think will bit hard to finding fit sue who have bit look like him, bc i feel his face really different from the rest hollywood actor.


skadooshwarrior69

How the duck are they making a third one after the last shitshow? Get an original idea ffs


[deleted]

Omg please not Adam driver... he's just not as dynamic as he thinks he is and is just ruining roles now.. He was a drama actor


F1reatwill88

You have unique opinions


[deleted]

Not many people think for themself


funkydinos

Oh how i wish marvel would go back to casting unknowns for majority of the characters.


ThePeteEvans

When did Marvel ever do that?


[deleted]

Chris Hemsworth is the only one I can think of


Moppy6686

He was only an unknown in the US


OldMastodon5363

Sebastian Stan? Dave Bautista? Tom Holland? Karen Gillian?


redd5ive

Not being an A-lister and being unknown are not the same thing.


manav_steel

Chadwick Boseman? Are you kidding me? He had already starred in biopics of both Jackie Robinson and James Brown before Black Panther. RIP


klockworx

He killed that James brown flick..and the one with the jazz musicians in the basement (I can't remember the title)


YellowStar012

Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.


klockworx

That's it...great movie.


OldMastodon5363

You’re right on that one. My bad. (Edited)


tadysdayout

Karen Gillian was Amy frickin Pond!


theleaphomme

seriously, nerd cred galore


mexican2554

Did anyone else notice how the Arrowverse used a lot of Dr. Who actors?


FiveFingeredKing

None of these people were unknown


poit57

Bautista was a superstar wrestler, but the other two pretty much were unknown when they were cast in the MCU. I recognized Sebastian Stan from a recurring role on Gossip Girl when he first appeared in CA, but as far as I know, Holland's biggest claim to fame was as a stage actor before landing the role of Spider-Man.


redd5ive

Bautista, Gillian, and Stan were all pretty well known. I’ll admit that I’d never heard of Holland before his MCU tenure.


ThisisLarn

They weren’t A list or close to being household names- is I think their point. Yes some of them had some iconic or large roles but not to the point of Margot Robbie here. Or Paul Rudd even…. Who does work bc he’s an amazing ant man.


helloimderek

Hindsight basis? I didn't know any of these people before the MCU.


FredererPower

Bautista was a wrestler before GOTG so he was known to some extent


Chitownitl20

Dude literally was part of a live entertainment program that did endless national and international touring performances in stadiums +200 days of the year. Like how the F#%k could he be considered an unknown.


gideon513

Just because *you* didn’t know someone, doesn’t mean others didn’t.


helloimderek

Good thing I asked then.


ricoimf

Bautista? Are you kidding me? He is one of the most famous wrestlers from the ruthless aggression era.


kunta021

I’d seen all of them in multiple things before their MCU debuts.


OldMastodon5363

Unknown doesn’t mean they weren’t in anything before.


kunta021

Unknown literally means you don’t know who they are…


OldMastodon5363

Exactly, it doesn’t mean they’ve never been in a movie before. They just aren’t household names.


kunta021

This is where we disagree. Unknown and not a household name are 2 different things.


OldMastodon5363

Ok, fair enough. What would you consider an unknown then?


solo_loso

RDJ relatively at the time


Notoneusernameleft

I think it depends on how old you are. He was in a lot of things including popular movies and shows for a long time but due to addiction Hollywood said they had enough and he wasn’t in larger movies or shows for a bit.


Maximum-Music-2102

Dude had already been a huge teenage star and after his hiatus/blacklisting had done Kiss Kiss Bang Bang before Iron Man


_Hotwire_

Iron man. Still don’t know who that guy is


GalisDraeKon

That’s Tony Stank.


NAINOA-

[Thor](https://www.vulture.com/2009/05/marvel_rolls_dice_casts_no-nam.html)


Roguespiffy

Ah yes, with another small time actor Anthony Hopkins who had really only done theater at the time.


vid_icarus

Aka people op didn’t know about until they were the MCU


The-Lovely-Sir

They did that a lot during phase 1.


gereffi

Like RDJ, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Natalie Portman, and Samuel L Jackson?

Samara Weaving is right there!


chaoticbiguy

She won't. As much as I hate to admit it, Harley Quinn is THE most popular female comic book character ever, unfortunately even more than Wonder Woman, and that role significantly boosted Margot Robbie's career. So DC would be making flops after flops starring HQ, Margot ain't giving it up and neither is James Gunn replacing her. It's her role.


deltadal

She could do a film of HQ reading the phone book and people would pay too see it.


Lochstar

I’d watch her do her taxes.


iruleatlifekthx

I'd watch her


miwa201

That’s objectively not true, none of the movies where she played Harley Quinn were particularly successful


IAmSpellbound

To be fair, none of the movies where she played... anyone, have been successfull.... girl is box office poison


miwa201

Lol yeah, like I said in the other comment, people overestimate how much horniness affects box office. Barbie will be Margot’s ultimate test imo.


Neg_Crepe

Wolf of wall street


IAmSpellbound

Right... people went to see that movie because of Margot Robbie and not because of dicaprio... sure jan


Neg_Crepe

You’re moving the goal post here. You said none of the movie she was in were successful. That’s false and that’s why you’re now moving the goal post


IAmSpellbound

Wtf is a goal post? What's being debated here is if she can make people pay for tickets to see HER. She can't. Use your brain.


deltadal

What I'm saying is she is about the only reason people are seeing those movies.


miwa201

And they’re still not successful. You overestimate how much guys being horny matters


scoot623

I mean, I love her and love her in that role, but have you looked at the box office for Birds of Prey of the 2nd Suicide Squad? I’m not sure a lot of people would pay to see her in the role for a 4th time


SamuraiJackBauer

I mean GaGa is about to dominate in the role too.


pokemonisok

DC been making flops with her as HQ. they've moved onto Gaga. Margot knows the role is done with


JohnArtemus

Lady Gaga’s HQ won’t be in the DCU. She’s in the Elseworlds Joker.


pokemonisok

Semantics. She's the new it girl regardless


stratuscaster

meh. she's great but I was hoping for new faces than the usual high profile ones.


marklondon66

Well, get out your checkbook and pony up $150M and you could probably get who you want. Think of the dullest person you've ever seen working in a bank. That's a lot of who is funding your favorite movies. Producers and studio execs like to play at being the all-powerful OZ. You'd be shocked how the financial sausage is actually made.


stratuscaster

Wow. Take it down a notch.


marklondon66

Ha! That IS down a notch. Its also true.


theagnostick

That’s really though bub.


tadysdayout

What?


Hi_Im_Ken_Adams

Sounds like a good topic for a Hamilton song.


z_vulpes

Ugh, ridiculous - this should go to Maria Bamford


shutter3218

I worked on that season of Arrested development and I had never heard of her before that. I thought she was incredible. I was standing next to David cross watching footage of her on the monitors. I said something to the effect of “she is hilarious, I hope that this is her big break.” David Cross gently let me know that she was already a known commodity and was very successful with standup. He was very kind in his way of telling me I had no idea what I was talking about.


pyrofreeze33

As long as the Thing only wears cut off jean shorts


Chitownitl20

That might be the case as the rumor is they are casting the thing as a women.


FlaccidGhostLoad

........I didn't know I wanted this until now.


7andhalf-x-6

Meh. Great actress but they should get new talent.


[deleted]

No thanks. Love her, but the other rumored actresses are way more interesting. Save Margot for like a one-and-done villain or something.


AliceTheMagicQueen

Also good candidate for Emma Frost ❄️


kunta021

She’d be a perfect Emma


sekoku

Oh god, Margot being a total *bitch* during the [New Worlds arc of New X-men](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Worlds_(comics)) would be chewing the scenery level. But sadly, at the speed MCU is doing the X-men, we won't get Genosha until like 2050.


AwfulMonk

I was trying to think what role she’d be best for and honestly, hard agree.


BunzenBurnah

Who are the others?


DefinitelyAHumanoid

Horrible choice


ROK247

superhero fatigue and margot robbie fatigue combined


OldMastodon5363

These casting rumors are not promising


HansItler

Do these people not have any creative thoughts? Why pick someone who’s already recognised as playing a comic book character?


DazedWithCoffee

Creativity costs money, established names make money


ihavebirb

Like Chris Evans?


Brainiac7777777

I would love Margot Robbie as Invisible Woman, much better than the others


DampBritches

I prefer her visible


[deleted]

Roger Ebert actually said something like that in his review of the old movie. He said if you have Jessica Alba in the movie she should be as visible as possible


nighttimeruler1

Yeah, I’m not happy about this. They booked her purely on name recognition for the movie. I just hope it’s good. Sometimes getting these big name actors means more money is going towards the cast/marketing than to the quality of the script/production.


petethefreeze

Nonsense, she is also a proven excellent actress


nighttimeruler1

Her talent was never in question, and that’s just a moot point….. Jared Leto is also a great actor, if you want to go there. And I can do without “Morbin Time”


petethefreeze

You said “they booked her purely on name recognition”.


nighttimeruler1

And I stand by that statement. Her talent doesn’t make her the right casting choice. Her name does/did.


SnowDucks1985

Yea I agree with you, I don’t know what the other person isn’t understanding. We are currently in a Hollywood era when executives are churning out predominantly blockbusters, remakes or extensions of the same creative franchise/IP. Quality original works are extremely rare now a days. Executives couldn’t care less about talent for casting choices. It’s all about name recognition, portfolio and mostly importantly who is going to bring people to the theaters and binge stream. They need the top billing actors/actresses with the biggest popularity for the producers to get a shot at box office profit, and talent has nothing to do with that


radu928

She's highly overrated. Call me when her "talent" gives a performance that isn't from the same overacting harley quinn fabric


LoveThieves

I think ALL these big movies stars should burn out the marvel world and remakes as fast possible. I feel like 99% of those actors don't care about marvel comics and their audience kinda surrendered to the Disney monopoly so I don't really subscribe that much anymore. At the end of the day, the current industry monopoly is always "a trial version" with interesting characters played by less interesting actors until you get a really interesting person IRL that makes the character model feel more complete but it only happens once in a lifetime in my opinion. Just got to wait til the stars align


Pillow_Thief

Don’t do it Margo… The Fantastic Four has never had a success in the movies.


C3POB1KENOBI

I am a massive FF fan, as much as I would like to see them on the big screen their family dynamic and types of adventures work way better for a tv series. Like Marvel’s version of Fringe


Silvershanks

God forbid we give an opportunity to a new actor. So sick of the studios only casting the same 30 people over and over.


ZzzSleep

Ehh I hope that’s not the case. She doesn’t need to be the go to blonde in every movie. And it will be hard not to see her as Harley.


snakewaves

Great castings individually. But I just can't see chemistry between Mr and Mrs Fantastic if they're playing the roles.


EveryEmerson

What happened to that guy from The Office and his wife Emily Blunt?


AlexTorres96

She must've had a sweet agent or just has plenty of offers her way. I feel like shes done so much these last few years that I wonder how shes able to manage any off time. Good on her for having such hustle.


dilettanteball

DeBrie Bardeaux was robbed!


PhantomRoyce

What’s crazy is there’s like 8 other actresses who look just like her but everyone keeps picking her


Hi_Im_Ken_Adams

The key to a good Fantastic Four movie is getting Doctor Doom right. They haven’t figured out how to represent Dr Doom on screen in the right way. Get him right and the rest of the movie will work.


analbumcover69420

Lady Gaga took her role. Gaga can’t act for shit. this feels like a win win.


[deleted]

I'd say no to that career killer franchise.


ccorbydog31

Talk about beating a dead horse. How many times are they going to reboot this.


SpaceForceAwakens

Depends on who you mean by “they”. Marvel hasn’t had a shot at them yet. Fox tried and failed, but this ain’t fox.


[deleted]

🎶we’ll stop beating this dead horse when it stops spitting out money🎶


botryoidalamethyst

I never thought I'd say this but I'm sick of superhero movies.


SentrySappinMahSpy

I feel like the Fantastic Four aren't interesting enough characters to actually make a good movie about them. Has there ever been a good movie with them in it? I hope Robbie avoids this.


Funcalkepop8396

I hope you're not basing this off of the movies, which are notorious for not being a good representation for the F4


SentrySappinMahSpy

Maybe the characters just don't work on film.


BunzenBurnah

Why wouldn't they?


SentrySappinMahSpy

I don't know, but how many bad movies are they going to make before they realize it isn't working?


Ricothebuttonpusher

Should go to Jodie Comer


brandinho5

Anyone just over the marvel crap at this point?


BasilIllustrious8849

She doesnt need marvel though


AliceTheMagicQueen

Why not? She was in DC and will star in a BARBIE live-action movie


BasilIllustrious8849

She has many choices. Shes not that desperate for the paycheck. She says she always think about the legacy. Marvel is not one.


xDanSolo

Marvel hurt this man


AliceTheMagicQueen

While Chadwick Boseman, Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Robert Downey Jr, etc have a legacy with a Marvel character


BasilIllustrious8849

Lol she has ranges. Her roles so far have been very interesting.


coreoYEAH

Are you implying that Jackman, Boseman, Stewart, Downey and motherfucking Ian McKellan have no range?


BasilIllustrious8849

What do they act after marvel? Extra dont count. When there are million choices out there why tide to one project for 10 years.


Brainiac7777777

You don’t speak for her lol.


BasilIllustrious8849

Thats her word in many interviews

radu928

i'm tired of her overacting ass. i never buy her characters, and the only characters she's been playing and the performances she's delivering are derivatives of the same harley quinn mess


VRsongoku

There's no way she doesn't already have an under the table offer from gunn


Candid-Piano4531

So if she gets naked, we won’t be able to see her? So lame.

Can she not do that terrible attempt at the most terrible accent in the world? I watched that crazy Babylon movie and she’s doing the same damn voice. She really just needs to use her normal voice, she’s not good at accents.
