Marvel strikes again! They’re having trouble finding an actor for Mr Fantastic due to film being primarily focused on Sue Storms character

I don't believe this is real.
Even if Sue Storm is the main character for the 1st film, Reed Richards will play an integral part in the MCU universe for multiple movies. He would have an almost Tony Stark and Captain America like importance.
Seems like more propaganda to get men upset about women in these Super Hero movies.
You’re assuming that they aren’t going to deviate from the source material, which they have done on more than one occasion. Hell, Secret Wars is going to be deviating from the source material as a lot of the characters involved won’t be in play.

I agree with this post.

Contrary to what people think about me, I want to see non-white, non-male, non-straight characters in entertainment story media. However, not at the expense of a good story. 'Girlboss'/'Bad Ass Chick characters are usually forced and lame and even women don't like them. Race/ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation swapping is just lazy writing.
Dogg, X-Men are my favorite comics and obviously Hella progressive. I used to love Brie Larson as an actress and could have gotten used to her leading the MCU...thing is they made her too damn overpowered; even in comparison to her comicbook counterpart and she had no real arc. She was pretty much perfect from the onset.

When I saw Thanos headbutt her in Endgame and it did nothing, the same tigga who knocked out Hulk, and Hulk is out here knocking out skyscraper-sized aliens...I knew it was a precursor to some bullshyt. Moreover, I can believe this because they're ALREADY sidelining the major characters in their own stories; Strange, Thor, Fury, almost did it with Loki in season 1.

I saw recently they made Samuel Jackson’s character gay / in love with some alien nikka. These social justice hoes ruin everything.

It was a female alien but goodness they completely destroyed Fury's character starting with him getting his eye scratched out by a cat.

Interesting point.

We as fans just want normal characters, no lgbtwisjej non-sense or girl-boss foolishness...

This will be the ruin of Star Wars and the MCU but women will not be held accountable for these changes to the films.

Kathleen Kennedy is the root cause of these failures...

Emasculate the men, let girl-boss take over, rinse and repeat...

I don’t trust the source. Reed Richards is one of the most important characters in the Marvel Universe. One thing I promise you is no matter what directions Feige and crew take, they will do right by that character.

The rumor is actors don't want the role because they want to make Reed a bumbling nutty professor while Sue is the capable "girl boss"

I tend to believe it because Goofy man / capable woman is a reoccurring theme in the MCU; antman and wasp, Steven Grant and Layla, starlord gamora....

The comic book writes itself with touching on every trope. The most powerful omega level mutants are women.

Susan doesn't need to be the main focus of fantastic 4 when X Men has Jean Grey, Storm and Rogue shıtting on everyone.

We didn't need to kill off T'Challa to showcase Shuri when we have Riri and Photon.

There's levels to this and it's almost like they're strategically self sabotaging it.

We didn't even need a Marvels movie. They could've had they're own fleshed out stories exploring the Marvel universe and introducing new characters not included in the fox universe.

They could've held off on another Ms. Marvel movie until 2025 to kill her off with Rogue. She could've just been a side character making brief iron man like appearances in other shows like secret invasion.

Oh, they wanna include pronouns? Throw in mystique later on. Gays? Throw in Bobby Drake....shıt... make night crawler a gay monk. FOX contracts, so many irrelevant side characters to work with so the gays can buy their comic. If it sells, make a story.

Demographics driven corporate edicts on mass media products. I've never been an MCU fan but my general view is that it doesn't matter how much people complain or how much money is lost. They will never stop doing this because it's an ends justify the means financial decision. They're saying "the market is going here in x years, and we need to be in front of that no matter what." These films have always been corporate slop, even the ones yall loved lol. It's just that people liked the slop more when it was catered to them.

HBO just got busted for using fake Twitter profiles to attack journalists who gave negative reviews to their shows. We're seen The Marvels get defended by an army of Twitter accounts claiming that it's racist to dare criticize a diverse film. Do you hate women? Do you hate black women? No? Then you should love Marvels OR ELSE. This isn't an exaggeration, this is what these weirdos are saying and Disney is clearly involved. They're fostering this because it creates a united, dedicated stan culture that will defend whatever they do. They're essentially replacing one group of rubes (white guy nerds) with another group of rubes, who they feel will be a larger and more lucrative group. But it keeps failing and yet they persist. Which, again, tells me they're dedicated no matter what because they're looking at demographic projections.
