Marvel Studios’ ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ | In Cinemas July 25th, 2025

Wonder if they are going to go with a younger FF or with an older crew?

And which members will get the "race-bending" treatment? Because there is no way they will release a movie where the 4 leads are all CACs.

I think Reed or Grimm will most likely be blk

I think Reed or Grimm will most likely be blk

Like someone else said, Alicia is gonna be Black.

shyt, they might bring back Kerry Washington.

 

[Luke Cage]

If they make anybody black it'll be Ben. They saw the reaction from the black Johnny Storm. Ben will be black and they'll probably keep Alicia black.

always hilariously fukked up when they make a character without skin black

that shyt don't count. nobody thinks silver surfer and Gamora are black superheroes, they green and silver.

If they make anybody black it'll be Ben. They saw the reaction from the black Johnny Storm. Ben will be black and they'll probably keep Alicia black.

keeping with the tradition of almost every marvel superhero lead having a best black friend

the ever lovin blue eyed thing

So does avengers tower now become four freedoms plaza?

Similar age range they used with the first movie. Reed mid to late 30s, Sue late 20s to early 30s, Johnny early 20s and Ben late 30s. The idea of a teenage, young adult Fantastic Four isn't something I find appealing.

When I fancasted here my cast was John Krasinski, Emily Blunt and The Rock as Ben Grimm. I think they might race bend the Thing but given he will be in CGI/makeup then maybe Johnny and Susan too.

Either Reed or Doom buys it most likely

 

[Days of Future Piff]

Thoughts?

 

[Jello Biafra]

Thoughts?

For anyone who doesn't want to watch the video, his casting picks are:

Mr. Fantastic - Matt Bomer
Invisible Woman - Alice Eve
Human Torch - Dacre Montgomery
The Thing - Michael Cudlitz

 

[BillBanneker]

Thoughts?

Hmm, haven’t seen this. Liked his mcu x men videos though


Edit: like Dacre Montgomery as human torch

 

[Json]

So we getting a CGI Thing or dude in a suit?

 

[AnonymityX1000]

For anyone who doesn't want to watch the video, his casting picks are:

Mr. Fantastic - Matt Bomer
Invisible Woman - Alice Eve
Human Torch - Dacre Montgomery
The Thing - Michael Cudlitz

Not enough star power but otherwise I wouldn't be mad.

I honestly see them making the FF white as they are and casting other people as Black

For example, Alicia (Ben's gal)

i bet they're white b/c they have the built in "Ben's Jewish" thing to fall back on. They'll make it priority to cast a Jewish guy. That'll be the "diversity." Maybe they'll cast a poc as Doom

Sue Storm is gonna be one of the new blonde chicks who pop up in everything now like Vanessa Kirby or Betty Gilpin or Claire Foy, or one of the 6 younger blonde, probably British chicks that pop up a lot in the past few years. based on nothing, i feel like Krasinski and Blunt are "too old" already.
