Dr. Reed Richards, a genius but timid and bankrupt physicist, is convinced that evolution is triggered by clouds of cosmic energy in space, and has calculated that one of these clouds is soon going to pass near Earth. Together with his friend, the gruff yet gentle astronaut Ben Grimm, Reed convinces his equally brilliant but conceited Massachusetts Institute of Technology classmate Dr. Victor Von Doom, now CEO of Von Doom Industries, to allow him access to his privately-owned space station.
Von Doom agrees, in exchange for control over the experiment and a majority of the profits from whatever benefits it brings. He brings aboard his beautiful chief genetics researcher (and Reed's ex-girlfriend from MIT) Susan Storm and her hot-headed brother Johnny Storm, his private astronaut, who specializes in fast cars, pretty girls, and extreme sports and was Ben's subordinate at NASA but is his superior on the mission, much to Ben's disgust. The quintet travels to space to observe the cosmic energy clouds, but Reed has miscalculated and the clouds materialize well ahead of schedule.
Victor refuses Reed's plea to abort the mission, knowing he must produce results to justify his expenditure, no matter the human cost involved. Knowing Ben is space-walking to set up equipment, Reed, Susan and Johnny leave the shielded inner area of the station to rescue him, and Victor closes the shield behind them. Whilst Victor is seemingly safe, the others are exposed to the cloud. Ben receives full exposure out in space, while the others receive a more limited dose within the station.
The astronauts make it home intact; however, before long they begin to mutate, developing strange powers. Reed is able to stretch like rubber; Susan can become invisible (by bending light around objects) and create force fields, especially when angered; Johnny can engulf himself in fire at up to supernova-like temperatures, and is able to fly; and Ben is transformed into "The Thing", a large, rock-like creature with superhuman strength.
And the Fantastic Four are born!
So here's the cast boys and girls, enjoy.
Ioan Gruffudd as Mr Fantastic =
Reed Richards possesses a mastery of mechanical, aerospace and electrical engineering, chemistry, all levels of physics, and human and alien biology. According to Business Week, Mr. Fantastic is listed as one of the top ten most intelligent men in the Marvel Universe, Richards is considered to be the most intelligent human being, first among a select group which includes Bruce Banner (the Hulk), Henry Philip "Hank" McCoy (the Beast), Hank Pym (Yellowjacket), Tony Stark (Iron Man), T'Challa (the Black Panther), Victor Von Doom (Doctor Doom), Amadeus Cho and Charles Xavier (Professor X). 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.
Just watch stuff like Hornblower, this guys a quality actor and should be a great Reed in a third film of the franchise.
Diane Kruger as The Invisible Woman =
Susan Storm Richards (also known as Invisible Girl and later, Invisible Woman) 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. Sue plays a central role in the lives of her brother, her husband and her friend, Ben Grimm.
Diane Kruger has been in some very good films and as most don't like Jessica Alba, which i didn't mind but i think Kruger would play a much better role as the Invisible Woman, best known for the movie Troy, she is a very good actress and stunning too.
Chris Evans as The Human Torch =
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.
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. No brainer, he is Human Torch!
Michael Chiklis as The Thing =
The Thing (Benjamin Jacob "Ben" Grimm) a founding member of the superhero team known as the Fantastic Four in the Marvel Comics universe. His trademark orange rocky appearance, sense of humor, blue eyes, and his famous battle cry, "It's clobberin' time!" makes him one of comics' most recognizable and popular characters. Super strong and Super funny, Michael Chiklis is the one and only Thing.
I really like Chris as The Thing and wouldn't change him for anything. So it would be a mix of CGI and the actor, a combination of both. In Pirates of the Caribbean, for Davy Jones and his crew, they used actors geared in motion caption suits, and they were actually on set. The CGI was laced in afterwards over their faces and bodies. So this technique could be used for The Thing. That way, you get the portrayal of the character through the actor but the CGI simply enhances his appearance. Many movies should do this.
Eugene Levy as The Mole Man =
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.
Come on Eugene Levy is perfect for the role!
Now i have done a few more, of course they cant all be in the same movie but enjoy the villains and uh, Impossible man.
Impossible Man as CGI with voice done by Jim (crazy man) Carrey =
When the Impossible Man first appeared he was not a villain. He was a prankster and hedonist, the Impossible Man claimed to belong to the alien race of Poppupians from planet Poppup, who all share a collective consciousness and the ability to shapeshift. Seeking amusement, the character visits Earth, and after finding the superhero team the Fantastic Four, constantly harasses them until they decide to ignore him, forcing the Impossible Man to leave. Oh dear, and Jim Carrey voice with CGI, no contest.
Nathan Jones as Super Skrull =
Kl'rt - more commonly known as the Super-Skrull - hails from the Skrull capital world of Tarnax IV (in the Tarnax System in the Andromeda Galaxy) which has since been destroyed by Galactus. The Skrull Emperor Dorrek VII wanted revenge against the Fantastic Four, who thwarted the Empire's attempt to invade Earth. Dorrek handpicked the warrior Kl'rt, who was artificially augmented and given the combined abilities of the Fantastic Four. Kl'rt's power levels, however, exceeded the originals -stronger than Ben Grimm; superior flight and greater pyrokinetic ability than the Human Torch; better control of invisibility and telekinesis than Susan Richards; and an ability to stretch beyond that of Mr. Fantastic. The newly-named "Super-Skrull" also retained his innate Skrull shapeshifting abilities and strong hypnotic skills. He was then dispatched to Earth to defeat the Fantastic Four and pave the way for a renewed invasion by the Skrull Empire.
Nathan Jones, big guy and can act great for Super Skrull.
Annihilus as all CGI and Dennis Heybert's voice =
Untold millennia ago, the Tyannans, a technologically-advanced semi-humanoid/leonine species of the antimatter universe the Negative Zone, seeded barren worlds with life spores. A freak meteor collision hurled one of their ships into the volcanic planet Arthros, where the crew released their spores before starving to death. Many generations later, one of those spores evolved into a weak insectoid creature. Significantly intelligent due to a mutation, the creature found the Tyannan starship wreckage and used a knowledge transference helmet to master the advanced Tyannan technology. This enhanced his intelligence and strength, creating a "Cosmic Control Rod" and body armaments. Obsessed with survival, the paranoid creature, which came to be known as Annihilus, set out to destroy any other living being he viewed as a possible threat to his existence.
Dennis Haybert was the President in the series 24 and he's got just the voice for yours truly.
Jamie Kennedy as Klaw =
Ulysses Klaw first appears as a physicist working in the field of applied sonics. Designing a sound transducer to convert sound waves into physical mass, Klaw steals the metal vibranium - a substance known to exist only in certain meteoric deposits in the small African nation of Wakanda - to power his device. In doing this, Klaw comes into conflict with the Wakandan ruler/superhero T'Chaka, who Klaw murders in cold blood. T'Chaka's adolescent son T'Challa, who followed his father to watch him combat the invaders, then attacks Klaw to avenge his father, maiming him by costing the villain his right hand as Klaw escaped, then becomes Klaw.
I picked Kennedy, because lets face it Klaw's a bit of a [frick] up lol and he should have that dumb sort of b grade villain about him, and i reckon Jamie can pull that off in spades.
Christoph Waltz as Doctor Doom =
Doctor Doom is a polymath scientific genius, depicted constructing numerous devices in order to defeat his foes or gain more power, including a time machine, a device to imbue people with superpowers, and numerous robots; Doom's calculating and strategic nature leads him to use "Doombots," exact mechanical replicas of the real Doctor Doom, for many missions, typically those where he fears defeat. The character also uses his scientific talents to steal and replicate the power of Galactus' heralds such as the Silver Surfer on several occasions as well as the Beyonder.
Come on, Christoph Waltz if you have seen Inglourious Basterds he screams Doom, very fine quality actor and would Doom justice unlike the previous go, and yes Fox will likely use Doom again and i pick him, just the Doom we really want to see!
