Yeeeeah call me a cynic I don’t see this one doing well. This cast is very B tier. Maybe if it came out in 2017/2018 and was setting them up for avengers 3 or 4.
Has any F4 movie ever broken 400M even? I think only Batman 2 and Spider-Man 4 are sure fire 750M+ hits

This will be more Pascal than ever before. He can stretch.

I don't have any faith in Marvel right now to even try to make a proper film, although I'd love to see this crew in a well-made F4 movie. Also, today I learned that Micro from Punisher was 'that guy' from Andor (liked him in both!).

I’m getting real sick Pedro Pascal. He never had the charisma for leading roles. He should have always been a side character you were mildly amused to recognize.

When it’s an alternate universe where they’re the only heroes it does.

Pedro Pascal is a bad actor.

I’ve just never liked the F4 as characters tbh. The only reason I watched one of the others was for Jessica Alba and that wasn’t worth it.

I'm only interested in who's playing Doom.

Love it.
Pedro pascal is a great actor. He gets these roles because he's really good at what he does. I have no doubt he can deliver a strong Reed performance.
Vanessa Kirby is literally perfect for Sue. No notes.
Joseph Quinn should be able to deliver as Johnny, Johnny is a character who I grew up loving and I can see it.
But by far my favorite addition is ebon.. what a get. Hes so compelling on the bear, and that level of emotional investment is going to be necessary on a character like Ben Grimm.
This could be really special

Is that how it is going? This is so messed up. These time line things are not my cup of tea as it eliminates and real jeopardy. Why couldn’t they just have it be a repercussion of the centinal almost spawning?

Dead ringer. I don't know what you mean.
Really with that casting?

Vanessa Kirby looks really hot with enough makeup and her hair did. In other photos she kinda looks like Elizabeth Holmes lol.
Not bad IMO but he's nothing special. He's like the new Oscar Issac. People love to gush over what an incredible actor he is, but I can't think of a single movie he elevated with his performance. Same goes for Pascal.

Or it's in line with the rumors that the movie will be centered around Sue Storm with the rest of the cast made to look less flattering next to her.

The problem with FF, as I see it, is that The Incredibles just DEMOLISHED that concept so much. How could we possibly get a Reed Richards even half as stretchy dynamic as Helen or a Sue Storm that can make invisibility/force domes anywhere near as cool as Violet? The 2005 film already felt lackluster, all it really gave us was a good Johnny Storm that was an audition for Captain America. But I'm sure 200 million in SFX will try.

I wonder if they are going to make Reed as smart as he is in the comics? He is on another level, and don’t get me started on their son.
Can a writer write someone who is smarter than they are?
Not well.
The reason shows like Futurama are so good is that there are real scientists/intellectuals honing it. Not sure marvel writers operate that way. We've all seen how dumb writers try to make characters sound smart, it ain't pretty.

But what if Reed had some quips? Maybe roll his eyes a few times?

Simple. The fantastic four are space farers, scientists and explorers. The incredibles are costumed vigilantes who happen to have a family unit.
Given this movies villain is probably galactus its likely gonna focus on that aspect of it.

I hate to jump on the same train as everyone else, but looking at the picture Pedro looks really out of place. The other two pass for their character but PP stands out in a bad way.
But we'll see what the final product is like eventually. Who knows - maybe it won't disappoint.

Not the worst casting I guess, but they wouldn't have been my first choice(s). I'll stay optimistic until they find a way to shit on it.

At least Sue Storm isn't a POC cast
As for Pedro Pascal. I really like the guy but he's cast for everything. So I'm iffy on his casting

I'm... surprised... by these castings.
Is this even legal in 2024, especially by Disney? They are almost character accurate.
In terms of the cast, yeah we've all seen alot of Pedro but it doesn't mean he can't act, he just needs to be less on social media. Vanessa Kirby is just gorgeous so I'll spend 90 minutes watching her any day. The rest I have no clue.
This is the mcu spider-man guy directing/writing right? I am having a mixed response to this... put it this way, I'm not entirely convinced it's gonna be shit just yet.

Sue storm is so ridiculously powerful, if they actually let her use her full set of powers the force fields could look very cool.
She'd easily be the most powerful MCU hero if they did.

Saw it. His performance wasn’t anything special. It was serviceable and nothing more.

Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh? Now there’s a phenomenal actor delivering a memorable performance. Oscar Isaac and Pedro Pascal will never reach that level.
