I’m much more excited for Emily Blunt as Sue Storm than for Krasinki as Mr. Fantastic, though I think he is a solid pick for Reed. She’s just a more interesting and versatile actor with the physical confidence and convincing athleticism of an action hero. If she comes with Krasinki, I can live with that.

I’ll take “Nikolaj Coster-Waldau” for 500, Alex.

Now playing

If Gemma Chan can be a Kree and an Eternal in the MCU, I can’t see why Mads Mikkelsen couldn’t also play another MCU villain.

Just make James Urbaniak Reed Richards!

I like John Krasinksi, but this job goes to Enver Gjokaj.

Himself, obviously.

I can’t think of a prettier dish I’ve made than those above. Wow! 

William.

But who will play Our Benevolant Overlord Victor Von Doom?

If I were in charge of Marvel casting, it’d be this:
Mr. Fantastic - Domnhall Gleeson
Sue Storm - Saiorse Ronan
Johnny Storm - Timothy Chalamet
Ben Grimm - Logan Lerman
Dr Doom (saved for the sequel please) Karl Urban
Mole Man - Richard Armitage (this is trick casting, I want people spending a year thinking he’s Doom)

They’re being snarky in a reblog of a post that is two weeks old and is itself making reference to a magazine interview that is a month old. Watered-down snark is all these wannabe O’Neals have left.

Wasn’t Emily Blunt originally supposed to play Black Widow?

Because its a classic, its the first family of Marvel and if its done well(which almost all the MCU movies are) it will be great.

And Tennants American accent is way better then other English actors(looking at you Cumberbatch).   Although there is no reason Reed couldn’t be from the UK, although if Tennant used his real accent Reed would sound like Scrooge McDuck

AVClub snarky again?! Really guys

Krasinski would be fine. I just don’t think FF lends itself to the confines of a two-hour movie.* It feels like family dynamics and the story of the characters would be better served on a TV series. I’d totally watch a retro-sitcom-y Fantastic Four on Disney+

I think I have a good casting for Mr Fantastic.  Think about it for a minute.  Joel McHale.  If he gets way less buff of course.

I mean, you guys are kind of late with this — fans of the MCU have been campaigning for years for John Krasinski and Emily Blunt to play Reed and Sue Richards.

I’d prefer David Tennant. He can do the light comedy the film(s) will likely have, but also make the sci-fi mumbo jumbo sound real enough and play a little arrogant, too. (I guess you’d have to overlook the fact that he played Killgrave of course, but that seems okay.)
