Miles Teller Dishes On FANTASTIC FOUR Casting Rumor

I do not like the young fantastic four.

Adrien Brody for Mr Fantastic
My second choice would be Will Smith.

And get me Dinklage as the Mole Men :)

This movie is "suppose" to start filming next month, and this month is almost over. Yet, we have no official cast members.smh

OK..so Avengers2, which comes out 2.5 months AFTER the new FF is scheduled (to avoid return of rights to Marvel).FF has No cast, no script and no locations. Marvel has casting done, and A2 is schedule to start shooting in March. They are NOT going to make the cut-off and lose the rights (thank god) just like daredevil.

@supercat Nice!

@jerryblake, Brody for Mr. Fantastic would be awesome.

NO!!!!!!!!!!

No 90210 youngster Fantastic Four.

Use adult established actors who CAN ACT.

One of the many things that killed the first 2 movies was that 3 of the 5 main actors just flat sucked.

Mr. Fantastic should be a brilliant established scientist with an edge.

Dr. Doom needs to be one menacing sonofab!tch. (How great Fassbender would have been in that role)

@MexicanSuperman

what i think ... Fox need a big name for the lead (Mr. Fantastic) to get people interested. Brody is not that big name. But Will Smith ... I wouldn't be surprised if Fox wanna go with Fresh Prince as Reed.

Same thing with Ben Grimm. Those Willis rumors could be true, although i would prefer someone else for the role ...

Cumberbatch for Mister Fantastic.

Also please Fox change The Thing makeup. Or make him CGI instead. I like Rick Baker work (Hellboy, Wolfman) but his Thing costume was just awful.

@Martian

I agree, he is overrated when people put him up for every role known to man. I just think he'll make a great Mr. Fantastic, every other suggestion I say "Hell no".

I still really like the idea of David Tennant as Mr Fantastic, but I doubt it'll happen, even though he's almost a perfect fit for the role (perfect age, looks the part, he's a very good actor given the right script and direction, Doctor Who proves he's adept at sci-fi and can convincingly play a genius), he'd probably be a good box office draw since he seems to be everyone's favourite version of The Doctor from Doctor Who, plus I'm sure he said he'd actually like to play the character.

I thought Miles Teller was too young to play Mister Fantastic.
BUT, reading the bio over on Comicvine.

It seems he was about mid-twenties when he got his powers. & so Miles, being 26. Would actually be a pretty good fit age-wise.

@CherryBomb I don't say this often, but good fan cast for Sue Storm.

I'm not usually one of those guys who bitches and moans and says everything needs to go back to Marvel, but I do think Marvel Studios would be the best place for the Fantastic Four, partly because the characters have such strong ties to other characters in that universe, and partly because I think Fox may struggle with them - they got them very wrong before and they seem to only just be learning how to make the most of the X-Men. I think adding the FF to that may be overkill. Hopefully the movie turns out well though, but I'm not looking forward to it so far.

@jerryblake I don't think Will Smith would be interested in the role, I think he'd want to play someone a bit more 'popular' and/or 'cool'.

@AC1

Spiderman ?

@Cherry this may be me typecasting Cumberbatch as a villain now, but I think he'd be a very interesting choice for Doctor Doom - I mean, just imagine that voice of his from behind that metal mask.

@caroldanvers

Diane Kruger ? Nice. Inglorious Basterds, Identity - very good actress.

she would be amazing.

Anyone have some good choices for doom?

also @Cherry

stop stalking Cumberbatch

@jerryblake Spider-Man? Is that referring to my 'strong ties' comment with the FF? If so, it's a fair point, but Sony (in my opinion) have proven they can do Spider-Man justice, with a decent trilogy and a (again, IMO) really good reboot. Plus, I think Spidey's biggest tie would be the FF (particularly Johnny Storm), I can't really think of any major, long-lasting interactions with anyone else (maybe Nick Fury and the occasional interaction with the X-Men).

As for the FF though, Reed is connected to every genius in the MCU (Tony Stark, Hank Pym, Bruce Banner, Stephen Strange, etc.), he's a member of the Illuminati (so is Professor X I guess but Reed seems more important to them), plus the FF's villains, like Doctor Doom and Galactus, open up huge possibilities for the MCU - the closest Spidey has in comparison would be Norman Osborn and perhaps The Kingpin.

Also, I guess I'm still hopeful that Marvel and Sony will work something out where they can make Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man part of the MCU even without a solid crossover, like they planned in 2012 (I don't remember whether it was Oscorp being planned to appear in The Avengers or Stark Tower in TASM). The same can't really be said for Fox though, as they seem to be trying to distance themselves from Marvel Studios (by having their own version of Quicksilver appear in DOFP before another debuts in Avengers AOA), while the X-Men film universe is already too established to slot into the MCU and shows no signs of slowing down to the point where Marvel will reaquire them, whereas the new FF can fit into the MCU quite easily, especially as the property is in a sort of limbo where the rights are close to reverting.

@AC1
