As we all have recently found out a few months back, director Josh Trank well respected for the amazing found footage film he directed back in 2012, "Chronicle", was hired to helm Marvel's first families first reboot, and is set now to be produced by X-Men: First Class and Kick-Ass helmer, Matthew Vaughn. Now, these two together would be kick ass and should be treated as such with blockbuster actors and a proper script done right to go along with it. Now, as some may still say how First Class was very poorly done and pretty much botched whatever continuity the X-Men francise had left, you can't argue with the fact though that the first Kick-Ass was awesome, so I honestly have a lot of faith in this especially after that travesty known as "Rise of the Silver Surfer" is now dead and buried forever. So, without further adieu, I now present to you my pretty straight forward fan cast for Marvel comics' first family, the Fantastic Four!
What I would want to see be portrayed this time around on the big screen would be instead of seeing the same old thing just a second time around, I would proposition that instead what the studio do is just do what all the other Marvel merchandise is doing... mix it up a little! Yes, we go from the downright obvious The Amazing Spider-Man to The Avengers and so on and so forth. What I suggest though is to make the backstory of how these characters became who they are today by going the ultimate route as a fresh new take but still keep a lot of the important things in 616 continuity. That way we get a taste of both worlds instead of just saying that we're going to do that when in actuality we're just going to throw in minor things from the 616 universe and just keep the rest of the story arc going with ultimate, seriously, we all know how The Amazing Spider-Man is going to end! But, again I digress.
THE FANTASTIC FOUR-
Dr. Reed Richards portrayed by Christian Bale (American Psycho, Flowers of War, The Dark Knight trilogy).
Susan Storm portrayed by Rachel McAdams (The Vow, The Notebook, Sherlock Holmes and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows).
Benjamin Grimm portrayed by Ron Perlman (Sons of Anarchy, Blade II, Hellboy and Hellboy II: The Golden Army).
Johnny Storm portrayed by Charlie Hunnam (also from Sons of Anarchy, Pacific Rim, Green Street Hooligans).
THE MAIN BADDIES-
Victor Von Doom portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch (Star Trek Into Darkness, The Hobbit series, Sherlock).
Harvey Rupert Elder portrayed by Danny Woodburn (Ninja Turtles, Watchmen, Seinfield, Mirror Mirror).
