scrolling through youtube and a thumbnail for a newrockstars episode has what I'm guessing are spoilers for the Marvels ending or end credits scenes.

Apparently the Fantastic Four script is very much focused on Sue Storm (Venessa Kirby). They’re having problems casting Reed Richards as it’s very much a second fiddle role and there are disputes over money etc. It might end up being Adam Driver though.
Disney are bound to fuck it up. Got absolutely zero faith in them. I hope they leave Deadpool 3 the fuck alone.

Seems a weird choice given (a) being invisible seems like a tricky power to do much with, and (b) their roster has already suddenly swung very heavily over to the female character side.
They should make it Thing centric.
F4 would be good for teamups. F4 + Spiderman, etc...
It's a shame they don't really have many OG avengers left to team them with.

FF always felt secondary to me. Good expo dump characters and team ups but nothing massively spectacular.

I guess with Tony out of the picture and Spider-Man potentially hamstrung by the deal with Sony (I mean how they can use him, not necessarily that they'll lose him), it might be good to have another fast-talking egomaniacal super-genius.

More recently, I think they leaned more heavily into them being fantastical science heroes going on wacky adventures through time and space rather than your standard foiling-lampshade-man-robbing-a-bank fodder so, like I said on the last page, you could do pretty much anything with them. If you leaned right into that, it could be amazing.
Its one of the reasons the first one and the Josh Trank one sucked so badly. People get powers, people fight the evil version of the powers. Who gives a fuck about that?
And literally nobody wants to see the 'heart and soul' of the movie be The Thing moping around about how handsome everyone else is.

Could always just keep leaning into the multiverse stuff and have The Maker as the villain.
Not saying it's a good idea, but they *could*.

Now I wanna see the FF as kind of the MCU version of Doctor Who, but there's four of them. |

The MCU version of Doctor Who was the two seasons of Loki.

You could even play up the 'Reed Richards is useless' meme and sidestep the origin story. Have them already well established as the FF but the reason nobody has ever heard of them until now is that Reed has been too busy making portals to other universes or some shit.

I’ve always thought of Reed as the dad of Marvel heroes so Krasinski made perfect sense to me. Especially if they’re brought in as an established team from another universe so can be cast as older actors.
Driver is a great actor but the energy would be so different that I can’t imagine how he’d play it.
Although if he is going to be a side character to a Sue story what about someone like James Marsden?

James Marsden is 100% going to show up as Cyclops at some point, probably next year, so they might not wanna go back to that casting well.

I think that may be the plot of the upcoming film from what I remember. Like they're from another dimension like the X-Men will be or some shit like that. |

Could have a person end up in FF universe where they are the only mutants/ superheroes and everyone worships them in some weird utopia.
But FF are older and bored, so they're like "FUCK YEAH MULTIVERSE ADVENTURES" and have to Doc Brown the McFly kid back home in time for prom.

He's definitely going to be gutted as he reads this in his mansion with his beautiful wife and children.

I'd be really surprised if he didn't pop up in Deadpool 3, even if it's just for a brief cameo so Wade can take the piss.

Ooh Riker/Jonathan Frakes as Mr Fantastic. That would be ace.
Has he even done any acting other than TNG?

Why does everyone sound like they are on heavy sedatives? It sounds like a script reading by emotionless AI. |
