As we all know, Marvel's first family superheroes may get a reboot after two mediocre movies in 2005 and 2007. And of course there are so many considerable actors for the new movie. Check my picks of the heroes and several villains!
THE FOUR
Mr. Fantastic/Reed Richards:
Matthew Morrison
Reed Richards is the leader of the team, also one of the most brilliant human on Earth. He is the inventor of the spacecraft which was bombarded by cosmic radiation on its maiden voyage, granting the Fantastic Four their powers. Richards gained the ability to stretch his body into any shape he desires.
I would have picked actors like Hugh Laurie or others, but after I saw
Glee where Morrison was the club's teacher as well as their leader, I found he suits as Richards. A capable leader, wise, yet he can also act romantic in front of girls. Plus, he looks like Richards.
Invisible Girl/Sue Storm:
Diane Kruger
Susan Storm is the team's second-in-command, Reed's girlfriend (Later wife) and also Johnny's sister. Sue received her powers after being exposed to a cosmic storm. Her primary power deals with light waves, allowing her to render herself and others invisible. However, she can also project powerful fields of invisible psionic energy which she uses for a variety of offensive and defensive effects.
'Nuff said I guess, Kruger has been a common people's choice, and she acts well. Of course I'd pick
January Jones if she is not Emma Frost already.
Human Torch/Johnny Storm:
Ryan Kwanten
The youngest of the group, he is brash and impetuous when compared to his beautiful and compassionate sister, Susan Storm, his sensible brother-in-law, Mister Fantastic, and the grumbling Thing. Like the rest of the Fantastic Four, the Human Torch gained his powers on a spacecraft bombarded by cosmic rays. He can engulf his entire body in flames, is able to fly, can absorb fire harmlessly into his own body, and can control any nearby fire by sheer force of will. "Flame on!", which the Torch customarily shouts when activating his full-body flame effect, has become his catchphrase.
Well
True Blood's Kwanten is undoubtedly perfect for Johnny. But he's now 34, despite his young face he may be too old. And he can be Wally West too, so maybe we'll need another one...
Human Torch/Johnny Storm:
Garrett Hedlund
After seeing
Tron: Legacy, we have seen Hedlund as a reckless, daring, fun-loving hero (Plus sometimes wise-cracking), yet brave and heroic. With his looks that fit, I can see him as Johnny.
The Thing/Ben Grimm:
Adam Baldwin
Benjamin Grimm is Reed's friend since they were in college, and he was a football champion. When Reed told him that Reed was building a spaceship, Ben jokingly said that he would fly it. However, seeing that as a promise, Ben eventually became the pilot of the ship for Reed's cosmic ray experiment. During this unauthorized ride into the upper atmosphere of Earth and the Van Allen Belts, they are pelted by a cosmic ray storm and exposed to radiation against which the ship's shields are no protection. Upon crashing down to Earth, each of the four learn that they have developed fantastic superhuman abilities. Grimm's skin is transformed into a thick, lumpy orange hide, which gradually evolves into his now-familiar craggy covering of large rocky plates. Richards proposes the quartet band together to use their new abilities for the betterment of humanity, and Grimm, in a moment of self-pity, adopts the super-heroic sobriquet, The Thing.
Having act in
Firefly,
Serenity, as well as voicing many characters in various media (Including as Superman in
Superman: Doomsday and recently as the Decepticon Breakdown), Baldwin also looks perfect as Ben Grimm. And with his muscular build, he can be The Thing too; or if The Thing will be made CGI, he surely can be a nice voice actor. A perfect choice.
SUPPORTING CHARACTERS
Alicia Masters:
Teresa Palmer
Alicia is a blind sculptress who is able to create incredibly lifelike representations of real people by touch and memory alone; her sculptures of the Fantastic Four and other superheroes are frequently depicted. A caring, sensitive character, she has been a romantic interest and confidant of The Thing, a member of the Fantastic Four who is frequently ashamed of his monstrous appearance. She has also helped explain human life and emotion to the alien Silver Surfer.
Teresa act nice as a 'sweet girlfriend' in
Sorcerer's Apprentice, so why can't she be Alicia.
Silver Surfer/Norin Raad:
Doug Jones - Laurence Fishburne's voice
Norrin Radd, a young astronomer of the planet Zenn-La, made a bargain with the cosmic entity Galactus, pledging to serve as his herald in order to save his homeworld from destruction. Imbued in return with a tiny portion of Galactus' Power Cosmic, Radd acquired great powers and a new version of his original appearance. Galactus also created for Radd a surfboard-like craft — modeled after a childhood fantasy of his — on which he would travel at speeds beyond that of light. Known from then on as the Silver Surfer, Radd began to roam the cosmos searching for new planets for Galactus to consume. When his travels finally took him to Earth, the Surfer came face-to-face with the Fantastic Four, a team of powerful superheroes that helped him to rediscover his nobility of spirit. Betraying Galactus, the Surfer saved Earth but was punished in return by being exiled there.
I know this is a reboot, but I can't find other actors that will be the perfect Surfer. Doug was nearly perfect as him, plus Fishburne's voice was great. No matter in which continuity, Doug-Fishburne will always be the perfect Surfer.
Namor the Sub-Mariner:
Zachary Quinto
The mutant son of a human sea captain and of a princess of the mythical undersea kingdom of Atlantis, Namor possesses the super-strength and aquatic abilities of the "Homo mermanus" race, as well as the mutant ability of flight, along with other superhuman powers. Through the years, he has been alternately portrayed as a good-natured but short-fused superhero, or a hostile invader seeking vengeance for perceived wrongs that misguided surface-dwellers committed against his kingdom. The first known comic book antihero, the Sub-Mariner has remained a historically important and relatively popular Marvel character. He has served directly with the Avengers, Fantastic Four, the Invaders, and the X-Men as well as serving as a foil to all of them on occasion.
You can't doubt Quinto's act as an antagonist, as he was in
Heroes. Also he was a bit anti-hero in
Star Trek. And you can't also doubt his looks as Namor if you see him in Spock make-up!
VILLAINS
Dr. Doom:
Mads Mikkelsen
Victor von Doom is the son of a gypsy. His late mother was a sorceress out of his knowledge, while his father was a gypsy healer. After his father's dead, he discovered his mother's sorcery tools, and learned them by himself. Besides his sorcery knowledge, he is also a genius and inventor. He was offered to go to Empire State University, where he first met Reed Richards, his future archenemy. He attempted to build a trans-dimensional device, however it was a failure. The explosion of the device left his face severely scarred, and he blamed Richards for this. He then went to Tibet, where he was found by a group of dark monks. In their hideout, Doom forged his armor and his trademark mask, swearing to conceal his face forever and take revenge to Reed Richards.
I would pick someone like Christoph Waltz, which may make a perfect Doom, however behind the mask Victor is still a rather young man and originally handsome. Mads has this 'charm', and he can also portray a ruthless, cunning villain as recently seen in
Casino Royale. Plus, he is also a European descend as Victor is.
Mole Man:
Eugene Levy
The Mole Man was originally Harvey Rupert Elder, an American nuclear engineer and explorer. Elder was socially shunned due to a combination of his abrasive personality and his homely, dwarfish appearance. Furthermore, his fellow explorers ridiculed him for his eccentric, crackpot theories regarding a Hollow Earth. While following the group of explorers called the Monster Hunters, he stumbled upon Monster Island, which was at the time a base of the Deviant Warlord Kro. When Elder fell into a massive cave leading deep into the underground realm of Subterranea, he decided his theories had finally been vindicated. However, he suffered permanent damage to his eyes when he gazed directly upon a highly reflective deposit of diamonds. Partially blind and apparently secluded from the surface world forever, Elder dubbed himself the Mole Man and began exploring his new home. He eventually became the ruler of the branch of Subterraneans now known as the Moloids, and the ruler of much of Subterranea and the caverns of Monster Isle. He used the Deviant-derived creatures and technology that he found in Subterranea to strike back at the outer world in numerous attempts to rule or humble the world that had rejected him.
'Nuff said once more, I guess, Levy is rarely seen but then he can surely portray Mole Man.
Galactus:
CGI - Hugo Weaving's voice
Galactus was originally an explorer called Galan from a planet called "Taa" in a universe which existed before the Big Bang. When the impending cataclysm gradually killed all life in his universe, including almost all of his own people, he and other survivors sought to escape the decay of their world. They left Taa via a space vessel, but it was eventually engulfed in the cataclysm that ended the old universe and spawned a new one. Galan, however, did not die, but was transformed through a bonding with the Sentience of the Universe, and gestated for billions of years, emerging - partially due to the inactivity of a Watcher - into the new universe as Galactus.
I know that Weaving will be Red Skull in
Captain America: The First Avenger, but lending his voice will not a very big deal. He impressed as the voice of Megatron in both
Transformers movie, so why can't he voice Galactus. And now, they can do Galactus properly with the CGI.
Jolt17: Sorry for the lack of villains and Supporting Characters, I'm still looking for suitable actors for characters like Super-Skrull, Uatu, etc. But comments below as usual!
