Fantastic Four FAN CAST

Fantastic Four FAN CAST

This is my fan cast for the Fantastic Four if the film rights were ever reverted to Marvel Studios!

Director - Jim Sheridan

Jim Sheridan would be the perfect choice to direct Fantastic 4 because he has a knack for tapping into the inner workings of family dynamics as seen in Brothers and In America. He would bring a whole other echelon of greatness that no other director could.


Mister Fantastic / Reed Richards - Mark Kassen

I've only seen Mark Kassen in a movie called Puncture and to me, he was the embodiment of Mister Fantastic. I have never seen someone so perfect for this role!


Invisible Woman / Susan Storm - Malin Akerman

Say what you will about Malin Akerman in Watchmen, I thought she was great! Not only that, but she is a stunning actress and of all the characters in the Marvel universe, she would shine as Susan Storm.

Media I've seen:
Harold & Kumar Go to white Castle
Entourage
27 Dresses (don't ask)
Watchmen
Couples Retreat


Human Torch / Johnny Storm - Ryan Kwanten

I've watched all 4 seasons of True Blood and Ryan Kwanten is definitely one of my favourites on the show, only second to Sooki's boobs. He has a certain charm that's also found in the comic book pages of the Fantastic 4's Human Torch.

Media I've seen:
True Blood


Thing / Ben Grimm - Vin Diesel

Vin Diesel has the size, the height, and voice to pull off the perfect Thing. Michael Chiklis was a hard one to replace and believe me, I put a lot of thought into this casting choice because I wanted to make sure Diesel was the man for the job and he is!

Media I've seen:
Saving Private Ryan
The Iron Giant (voice)
Pitch Black
The Fast & the Furious
Knockaround Guys
xXx
Find Me Guilty
Babylon, A.D.
Fast & Furious
Fast Five


Doctor Doom / Victor Von Doom - Dominic Purcell

Dominic Purcell would be an intimidating Doom rather than Julian McMahon's limp-wristed version.

Media I've seen:
Mission: Impossible II
Equilibrium
Blade: Trinity
Prison Break
Straw Dogs


Namor - Eric Bana

I was toying with the idea of Eric Bana as Doom and I'm still not sure, but I think he would look great as Namor. I never liked the idea of him as Bruce Banner, he was just too big and too good-looking. I actually wanted Edward Norton for the role from the beginning.

Media I've seen:
Chopper
Black Hawk Down
Hulk
Finding Nemo (voice)
Troy
The Other Boleyn Girl
Star Trek
Hanna


She-Hulk / Jennifer Walters - Olivia Wilde

I'm not too keen on Olivia Wilde as an actress after seeing her two big films that came out this year. However, I am a fan of her look and I've seen her deliver some good performances on House. I would like to see She-Hulk join the Fantastic 4 as a temporary member, during Sue's pregnancy.

Media I've seen:
The Girl Next Door
The O.C.
Conversations with Other Women
House
Cowboys & Aliens
The Change-Up


Silver Surfer - Alexander Skarsgard

Another True Blood staple, Alexander Skarsgard has the right body type and attitude for the Silver Surfer. It would be an interesting role to see him in, so long as they delve into his background a little more.

Media I've seen:
Zoolander
Generation Kill
True Blood
Straw Dogs


Wyatt Wingfoot - Dwayne Johnson

Wyatt Wingfoot is the Fantastic 4's personal pilot. He does not have any superpowers and became employed under Johnny's recommendation. Dwayne Johnson seems to fit the bill and we know what he's capable of when introducing him into an action movie!

Media I've seen:
That 70's Show
The Mummy Returns
The Scorpion King
The Rundown
Walking Tall
Southland Tales
Get Smart
Fast Five


Willie Lumpkin - Tommy Chong

Who to pick when replacing the irreplaceable, Stan Lee? Tommy Chong. 'Nuff said.

Media I've seen:
Up in Smoke
Still Smokin'
McHale's Navy
Half-Baked
That 70's Show
Evil Bong

This cast is near perfect, except Lumpkin. No one deserves that title other than Stan Lee himself.

- Never heard of your pick for Reed Richards.
- I could see Malin as Sue Storm.
- I'm sticky on Ryan Kwanten. He's probably a little too old for Human Torch. Whaddya think of Travis van Winkle. I caught his work and he's just damn perfect for the role, capable of being funny and confrontational.



- Vin Diesel would really make a good Thing, even though he doesn't look like the human version. But I don't care, because in terms of voice, he'd work wonders.
- Well, Dominic Purcell had that Doctor Doom aura in Blade: Trinity. Sure, he'd work as well.
- That's my pick for Namor!
- Eh, no to Olivia Wilde as She-Hulk. To me, She-Hulk is the female's take of Deadpool, just not as creepy and douchey. An actress who'd fit the bill would be Lake Bell.



- Fascinating pick for Silver Surfer.
- Dwayne Johnson doesn't fit best as Wyatt. A known actor for a minor character isn't the way to go.
- Nah, don't replace Stan Lee. If The Incredible Hulk taught us anything, you can have Lou Ferrigno play a security guard TWICE.

Pretty good!!!

I have never heard of your pick for Reed.

I feel like Malin is being casted because of her role in Watchmen...But, correct me if I am wrong!
She could pull it off!
I just think she looks a little young...thats all!

Ryan would be great, if your Sue pick was a few years older!
Otherwise, he is perfect!

Don't hate me...but, I hate Vin Diesel as an actor...Sorry!

Perfect Doctor Doom choice!

Olivia...Hot, great actress, not my pick for She-Hulk....
With CGI maybe, but, she does not give off that She-Hulk vibe....I like Jennifer Carpenter as her:



If you don't, watch her in Dexter...she is GREAT!

Hmmm....strange Silver Surfer choice....but, in a good way!

Overall, very good!
Keep it up my friend!

@RoadDog I think Johnny should be old enough to be believeable as an astronaut. I am not aware of Travis van Winkle's work, but I'm sure he's good.

I love your She-Hulk pick! I like it more than mine so far!

I like to see names in supporting character roles, like Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon. This is an ensemble cast, even Ian McKellen will take the backseat every once in a while.

lol

@tweeeeenkies Malin Akerman might not had been my first thought if it wasn't for Watchmen, but I wouldn't say that was the reason. I enjoy her and her movies.

Check out Find Me Guilty. It's a good Vin Diesel movie where he acts. Peter Dinklage is his co-star, too.

I've seen a bunch of Dexter episods here and there, but I've been putting it off. I like your She-Hulk pick, but based on looks alone, I like RoadDig's the best. Sorry! :p

hey where's galactus?? No one casts galacts,don't know why.he shouldn't be only cgi,he needs to have a presence like no other,he's not a mindless character who doesn't think or talk,he needs to be played by a person.
canadianturd
canadianturd - 12/29/2011, 1:15 AM
@darknlight if I were to cast Galactus, it would be based off a major Hollywood star, like Sylvester Stallone.

I would love to see Schwarzenegger as Thanos, too!
darknlight
darknlight - 12/29/2011, 6:40 AM
@canadianturd
how about stan lee as galactus..........just kidding. I don't know who can portray galactus i'm not good at casting anyway but he needs a person who has a mighty presence,strong and dominating who can scare the hell out any hero even if it was ghost rider or dd.
Oarsis
Oarsis - 12/29/2011, 6:56 AM
@canadianturd....I think Maline is one hell of an actress for the most part....
She could probably do it!

I will check it out!

And, it's all good...everyone has a different opinion!

You know what, this is a fantastic cast! What i love most is that you use reasoning in you explanations- not just "look at the pic he/she is perfect" or "do i really have to explain". Good job

Thank you, bigshow!

ur MF looks the part but i dont know him. love the IW pick, very original. If Vin is within the age of ur MF than kudos, another gold star.

Im not pleased with ur older HT or ur DD, Purcell bothered me in Blade and if thats his version of a bad guy than im not happy

but another gold star for the limp comment. She-Hulks gotta be bigger than the twiggy Wild and...

WOW O WOW the best Silver Surfer ive seen. PERFECT!!!!

a common yet good pick for Namor
canadianturd
canadianturd - 12/29/2011, 9:12 PM
@ager I'm unsure of Mark Kassen's age, but I think he's around the same age group with Purcell and Diesel.

I have fond memories, laughing at Dracula with my friends in Blade 3. I don't think that was so much Purcell's fault as I'm sure it was Goyer's terrible directing skills.

It sucks, I forgot to include my Mole Man pick, so here`s a little extra!


Mole Man - Eddie Marsan

.. most of the cast is perfect to me but ... i think jennifer aniston as misses invisible and gina carano as she hulk .. i think oliva is too thin and sexy looking for she hulk ...

You lost me at Doom and Ben,

Honestly, Dwayne Johnsen would be better suited to play Ben Grimm
canadianturd
canadianturd - 12/31/2011, 1:45 PM
@SoulEater Dwayne Johnson is too tall for Ben and does not have the right voice either.
