Fantastic Fancast for the Fantastic Four

Fantastic Fancast for the Fantastic Four

I like the majority of people on this site hate the cast Fox has chosen for their soon to come movie. With that in mind I decided to make a fancast of what I felt would be better.

I absolutely hate the casting for Fantastic Four just like the majority of the people on this board, so with that in mind I decided to make my own fancast of what I think should have been. I use the dynamic I think is right with the characters. Maturity. I have always looked at Reed, Sue and Ben being older than Johnny. I believe this cast to be far superior to what was chosen, plus the races of the characters and genders are correct. Truthfully though, I could have thrown darts blindfolded at a list of actors names and come up with a better cast than the studio did.




Reed Richards




Jim Caviezel



I know he has been a favorite for Batman, and while I think he would be good in that role, I believe he would absolutely own the role of Mr Fantastic. Very good actor that can play the leader and an intellectual with ease.



Sue Storm



Charlize Theron



Absolutely a beautiful woman and a great actress. She would give the character a presence she was lacking with Alba playing her. Instead of just a hot actress looking good in the spandex and being wooden, boring and generally an afterthought on the team; Charlize would give a commanding performance that makes her a true presence onscreen and she would look great in the spandex.



Ben Grimm/The Thing



Keifer Sutherland



Commanding actor with a truly distinctive voice. With Ben Grimm I believe the actor who plays him needs a distinctive voice, because the character will be either under heavy prosthetics or voicing a completely CG character. The actor who plays the part needs to put out a great performance with only the voice.




Johnny Storm



Liam Hemsworth



Liam is a solid young actor. He has already generated interest as a potential superhero in Thor before his brother was chosen for the part. Seeing as Thor has a cocky, larger than life personality just like Johnny Storm, it makes sense that Liam could play the part with ease. He is going to wind up in a comic role at some point in the near future, I think this should have been it.



Dr Doom



Mads Mikkelsen



A great actor that plays an incredible villain. He has the ability to be terrifying and make you care about him. His presence would make you believe it would take an entire team to take him down. Also unlike rumors about what Fox is planning, he is a guy.

Like most people, I hate the cast. EXCEPT Kate Mara. She is a good actress and she actually fits Susan.

Unlike most people, I love the cast of the real movie. This I can do without. Why? Not because of the cast, but because of the boringness. Same old same old.

While it may not be super original, I still like this fan cast.

dude, Jim caviezel is a terrible idea for Reed Richards, I dunt understand what everyone is thinking that he would play a great reed richards. the rest of the cast is not so great either. You need a reed richards that can play a father figure, a super scientific genius of the 21st century, and the kind of husband that would ignore sue storm while she's trying to tell him something important. Sue storm (if you true fans out there know!) had her parents die young and practically raised herself and Johnny so she needs to be a motherly figure for johnny and also constantly stopping johnny and ben from fighting yet have a dark sided past to her, Ben grim is a jock all the way around with a fantasy for becoming a pilot, needs to also have a love hate relationship with johnny and play a big brother to him. Johnny storm needs to be able to half a tough and cocky teenage attitude about him but a little scared on the inside. The next time you's make a fan cast for the F4 keep these things in mind. Im not bombing on you at all, I would just like to see some improvement. what about the rest of you guys, you guys feel the same way

This is a good cast.

I especially love your choice for Doom.

My fancast would be Jon Hamm, Rachel McAdams, Aaron Paul, and Vin Diesel. For Dr. Doom, I pick Tom Wlaschiha. He played Jaqen H'gar on Game of Thrones, season 2. But I also really like Mads. But I would change his name slightly. I always thought that Von Doom was the most childish and made up sounding name in comics. So I would change it to Victor Von Dohm, an actual name that still sounds like doom but not so obvious.

good cast but too old. They are trying to build a franchise and all those actors are a bit old to do that

Wow, were you actually expecting praise for recycling casting choices I've seen in just about every FF fancast. Next time do us all a favor and actually put some effort into your fan-cast. We don't want another Optimus83 on our hands.
