The Fantastic Four were Marvels first superheroes.
They starred in the campy early stories that set the template for all the superhero comics that followed it.
Not super old, but old enough to be respected by the Avengers.
Here are 5 Actors Who Should Play Fantastic Four Characters In The MCU (And 5 Who Shouldnt).
Shouldnt get cast: Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Mr. That would make him an ideal Reed Richards if he was old enough.
Gordon-Levitt simply isnt old enough to play Mr.
The Fantastic Four are often referred to as Marvels First Family, and thats what they are.
They were there at the beginning, setting the mold for every superhero comic to come.
Reed Richards and Sue Storm need to bemarried and in their 40sfor the characters to work on-screen.
Should get cast: Patrick Wilson as Mr.
Fantastic
The fatal flaw in the casting of 2015sFantastic Fourreboot is that they cast young actors.
Miles Teller looks like a teenager.
Reed Richards is a smart, sensible, middle-aged man.
The Ioan Gruffudd movieshad their own problems, butat least he was cast based on jot down.
But theres a good reason for that.
She has both the acting talent and the intense physicality to play a superhero well.
However, she isnt quite right for the Invisible Woman.
The Invisible Woman was often objectified and depicted as basically the teams maid in the comics from the 60s.
However, unlike Johnny, that character wasthe worst.
His smugness cant be seen as a negative quality, like it is in ClaflinsHunger Gamescharacter Finnick.
Thats why Sam Claflin isnt the guy.
A lot of fan castings for the MCUs Fantastic Four have chosen Zac Efron as Johnny Storm.
Johnny is the reckless, womanizing, immature, handsome younger brother of Sue Storm.
Are those not the roles Zac Efron plays best?
After all, they did get their powers from a cosmic storm in outer space.
He has fanboy cred, a slumped brow, and impeccable talent.
Thats what would make him the perfect Ben Grimm.
But come on, thats a terrible idea.
Theyalready screwed up two Doctor Dooms.
Thats where the spectacular Bryan Cranston steps in (or should step in).
Imagine if Walter White had diplomatic immunity and superpowers.
Thats what would make Bryan Cranston as Doom such a sight to behold.
