Team » Fantastic Four appears in 5743 issues.
There's a lot of options, the reboot cast is a great Ultimate FF cast, which is what I think they're going for. Although I don't know if they have chemistry or if Trank will be able to make it seem like they do. I think the only gripe people have (besides the blatant racism disguised as nerd rage straw man arguments) is that they're too young to play the main continuity cast, which is correct. I really hope we do eventually get a true to form Fantastic Four movie with a proper adventurous and epic tone, directed by someone talented, and with a really solid cast that works well together.
Obviously people's fan casts for FF have included talented actors like Charlize Theron/Invisible Woman, Benedict Cumberbatch/Mister Fantastic, and Hunter Parish/Human Torch. Bruce Willis and mma guys always get brought up when the Thing is being cast, it confuses me that just because Chikilis already looked like the thing that now the standard procedure is "they should cast a short bald guy".
My dream cast for the team could take place in the 60's as a period piece (which Fox should have done now that the first class team is working out for them) or in a present day the way I assume even Disney would do it.
Jon Hamm as Reed Richards, he's proven he works well in the 1960's with Mad Men and he has a confident charisma that could give Mister Fantastic that sort of tasteful reinvention that Downey managed to do with Iron Man.
And while Theron is a good choice, I think Elizabeth Banks as Susan Storm could bring a lot to the table regarding her personality, I feel like she could bounce lines off the actors really well and not come off as this antiquated damsel in distress, but I do agree that Theron would probably pull off the action scenes like a badass.
I agree with people that think Hunter Parish looks like Johnny Storm, but he never exuded fun like Michael B. Jordan does. I think Chris Evans did a really good job. So this one is a toss up, I like Jordan but if we were trying to appease the source material "purists" then I would say that Dean Franco embodies that cockiness.
My ideal Ben Grimm is a fan casting list favorite for just about everything, and it's a testament to his versatility as a grump. I think Karl Urban, due to his portrayal of Dredd and to a lesser extent Bones from Star Trek, would make a great Thing.
Because regardless of how crazy everyone is about Ben looking like the thing before he even transforms, he was just a brown haired depression era boxer from Yancy Street.
Victor Von Doom really should be European, I've heard Clive Owen before and it might work, Mads Mikkelsen from hannibal would be an incredible choice the very best Doom in my opinion would be Cristoph Waltz, He just has that classy and flamboyant rage within him. Not to mention his accent. Also, Bill Nigh would be a great voice actor if we introduced Doom already in his suit in the franchise.
I like the guy they're getting to play mole man in the reboot, I believe he was in O' Brother Where Art Thou? and played the Leader that never was in the Norton Incredible Hulk movie. However, Andy Serkis (gollum) could do an amazing job. I also think Max Von Sydow (the priest from the exorcist who is still alive right now) sounds just like all the old cartoon galactus'.
