Whats wrong with him as Reed Richards?
without using the cameo in Dr.Strange 2 it's just an uninspiring casting.
the fan casting came out before jack ryan, quiet place and really only started after that story came out that he was trying out to be Captain America during a 13 hours interview i think. so then I guess fans were searching for who's left for him to play.
it's really because he's a white dude with a beard and it's virtue signaling that they want Reed to be white. same thing with the hope that the FF are from the 60s. it's just them making sure the full cast remains as white as possible.
me personally I don't care if the FF are all white. In fact I'm 90% sure they will do an all-white FF
also the other reason i don't want it is because FF should be a mix of ultimate and 616. by that i mean have them grow into the FF and start them as late 20's/ early 30's with only a few adventures under their belt instead of established early 40's ones.
it also fukks up my Samara Weaving as Sue Storm casting
