This week, I will be writing my fifth article on Comic Book Movie, and it will be about the MCU Fantastic Four film series. Now that Fox is currently being purchased by Disney, my friend decided to persuade me to create an MCU Fantastic Four article based on the success of my attempt on Iron Man 4, Captain America: Secret Empire and Thor: The Ballard of Beta Ray Bill.

I know we have a long time to wait before the actual series is released, but my draft version will amaze you and my casting choices were helped by my friend. Since the 2015 Fantastic Four reboot was criticised for its darker and humorless tone, I've decided to take the series in a more Modern Family Sitcom tone since it's known for its comedy despite the horror and science fiction elements.

Story Introduction:

Fantastic Four will focus on the Thing(Seth Rogen) because he and Mole Man(Danny McBride) have unsighty visage. Unlike the Thing, Mole Man has an attitude as hideous as his appearance. Alicia Masters(Christina Ricci) will help the Thing to deal with the angst resulting from his monstrous form, because no matter how he looks, she think the Thing is a very loving man. Her father Puppet Master(Matt Dillion) will be the antagonist of the Thing's specific storyline, since he is a man who uses his powers in petty and irresponsible ways, like a family-friendly version of Killgrave. The film will start with a flashback of a young Ben protecting his nerdy friend Reed Richards from being bullied by some thuggish jocks while saying his catchphrase "It's clobberin' time!". In the present day, Ben will help Reed(John Kransinski) with his marriage proposal to Sue Storm(Mandy Moore), whom she will glady accept in the end.

Fantastic Four: Coming of Galactus will focus on Mr. Fantastic because he and Dr. Doom(Riccardo Scamarcio) are the smartest humans on the planet. When Galactus(James Earl Jones) and his Heralds, Silver Surfer(James Franco), Terrax(Steven Williams), Firelord(Orlando Bloom), Stardust(Brenton Thwaites) and Air-Walker(Luke Evans) Dr. Doom wants the Power Cosmic to solve all the world's problems as a tyrannical God Emperor while Reed's compassion and love for his family inspired Silver Surfer to spare Earth and defy Galactus. Since Galactus' power will have global repercussions, Namor(Daniel Henney) will be a secondary antagoist.  Obviously, a well-written Reed/Sue/Namor love triangle will ensue, just to show how strong in the love between Reed and Sue. The film will end with Reed and Sue wedding and Frankie Reye(Hayden Panettiere) becomes Galactus's new Herald.

Fantastic Four: Annihilation will focus on the Human Torch(Ross Lynch). His father Franklin Storm(Jay Underwood) will perish as one of the many victims of Annihilus' massive rampage, but his mother Mary Storm (Rebecca Staab) will survice. As a result, his father's death prevents them from making amends. Both Storms convinced the Fantastic Four to productively use their powers for altruistic goals in Fantastic Four 1. The movie will explore Johnny Storm's recklessness as a coping mechanism and struggling to complete science projects because he feels as the "unfavourite" within his family. Sue will be pregnant and the TV series versions of the Inhumans will help the Fantastic Four against Annihilus(Jack Nicholson), with Medusa subbing for Sue, Crystal as Human Torch's love interest and Maximus the Mad as a secondary villain. Wynnona Wingfoot(Devery Jacobs) will prove herself much more useful than being just being Human Torch's love interest. She will assist the Fantastic Four in tracking down a "threat" to frightened citizens, whuch turned out to be the lost canine of the Inhumans, the teleporting Lockjaw. With the help of Johnny, she went on a quest to rescue the Inhumans from the Negative Zone. Also, Johnny Storm invented HERBIE(Ben Stiller), proving he is way smarter than he looks. In the end, Johnny will almost die during the battle against Annihilus, but he will survice in the nick of time. Sue will give birth to a healthy baby boy named Franklin Jonathan Richards deilvered by Ben's Uncle Jacob(Craig T. Nelson) and Aunt Petunia(Kat Green)

Fantastic Four: The Kang Dynasty will focus on Invisible Woman. She fared the worst in both previous Fantastic Four adaptations while in the comic books she is the most fantastic member of the team. Kang will come from an alternate timeline where the Fantastic Four disbanded after Human Torch was killed by Annihilus. An older Franklin Richards/Hyperstorm(Joel Edgerton) with energy powers similar to Ultimate Ben Grimm will come to aid the Fantastic Four to prevent the existance of a grim alternate future ruled by Kang. Throughout the film, Kang will wear clothes that disguise his true identity and be voiced by Tony Todd. At the very end, our heroes(and the audience) will see Charlize Theron as Kang's true face and learn that Kang is Sue and Terminatrix will start the film servicing Kang until she redeemed to help Hyperstorm and the Fantastic Four

Fantastic Four Vol 1 36


Fantastic Four: The Frightful Four will feature HERBIE being upgraded from a team pet to a full-fledged member of the team. A scientist known as the Wizard(Ben Whishaw) forms a group known as the Frightful Four(consisting of  Diablo(Rodrigo Santoro), Red Ghost(Lars Mikkelson) and  Mad Thinker/Rhona Burchill(Jena Malone) to brainwash the Thing into serving them and killing the rest of his teammates. Alica Masters will show some engagment rings from Ben in order to break his brainwashing. Also, Wyatt(Martin Semsmeier), Wynonna's brother will help his sister and the Fantastic Four fight the Frightful Four.

Fantastic Four: Fall of the Four will feature Dr. Doom, Mole Man, Kang, Puppet Master and Wizard joing forces to create group to create a group comprised of some of the greatest and most sinster minds of the Earth called The Intelligencia with Red Ghost, Diablo and Mad Thinker. Reed's father, Gary Richards(Joseph Culp) will make an appearance, where he's the owner of a sports article store rather than a blue collar worker. (Here, he won't be a overgrown jock with no redeeming qualtiies. Instead, he struggles raising a gifted child as a single, but loving father after his wife Valeria's death.) He will use a baseball bat to fend off some Doombots to provide a distraction to save his son's life.

Fantastic Four: The World Within Worlds technically will be a Psycho-Man film. The Fantastic Four will be caught in the middle and Psycho Man(Joaquin Phoenix) comes to our dimension to test his Control-Box that can induce a condition of fear capable of tiggering hallucinations and even trigger death due to heart strain. While celebrating with Alicia the anniversary of Ben's tranformation into the Thing, Psycho-Man(disguised as Reed) kills Jacob and Petunia Grimm and tricks Sue into coming with him to a situation. Malice's first act will be destroying HERBIE and play a sadistic game of "Kick the Can" with its inert robotic body. Also, he will use his Control-Box to turn Sue into Malice, the Mistress of Hate, forcing Reed, Johnny and Ben to make an alliance with Namor and Silver Surfer to save her from Psycho-Man's control. Once she is free from his machinations, she will make him pay dearly for brainwashing her by using his own fear ray on him.

Molecule Man(Daryl Sabara) will start "Fantastic Four: Molecular Reality" making very limited application of his powers and believing he is limited to inorganic matter and being a very meek and submissive who allows Titiana(Alexa Vega) calling all the shots. Sue will be pregnant again, so Alica Masters with her Thing Exoskeleton will be subbing for her. Willie Lumpkin(J.K Simmons)(who makes a cameo in each installment every in highly improbable situations, showcasing the fact  he is way more badass than the average mailman, impressing our heroes(and the audience). Titania will feel pride take advantage of her after giving a massive beatdown to the Thing and Alicia Masters, mockingly calling the latter "She-Thing" and prepares to go after Sue thinking of her as a easy target due to her pregenancy. She was wrong, because Sue is quite good at using her forcefields offensively, leaving Titanta in a coma. Watching horrified Titania's inert body, Molecule Man realises that he is capable of affecting all matter on any scale he effortlessly dropped a mountain range on the Fantastic Four to avenge his friend Titania. One by one, each of the member of the Fantastic Four joined to help the Thing lift the mountain, with Sue being the last to join, and her brother Johnny said to Molecule Man that he could use his Molecule Wand to awaken Titania from her coma. Molecule Man succeeds in awakening Titania and thanked Johnny and the rest of the Fantastic Four for placing the mountain back on its place. He decides to quit being a upservillain to live a new and better life with Titania restoring desolate worlds by conjuring anything out of thin air with his Molecule Wand. In the very end of the film, when the Fantastic Four and the Impossible family are having some family fun, it is revealed that Impossible Man(John DiMaggio) was responsible for giving Molecule Man and Titania to entertain his wife Impossible Woman(Hynden Walch) and his children Impossible Tween(Olivia Olson) and Impossible Kid(Jeremy Shada) and Willie Lumpkin will reveal that there is more than meets the eye. He is actually Uatu The Watcher, the narrator of each Fantastic Four film and will show the Fantastic Four their true appearance to alear them that "a secret war is in the horizon".



Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has said that Marvel will not be planning Fantastic Four and X-Men films for a few years. Perhaps, if the Fox acquistion by Disney goes through, Marvel may announce the teams for Phase 4. Please comment below and voice your opinions on my article.

Great job! And that's just the first quadrology.
brodie999
brodie999 - 6/13/2018, 10:04 PM
@ILoveStargirl - Thanks, Stargirl. I'm not sure what to say about the second quadrology's plots. Could you please give my advice on them?
ILoveStargirl
ILoveStargirl - 6/13/2018, 10:12 PM
@brodie999 - Drop it altogether! It just became too ambitious for its own good. Originally the plan were 4 movies to serve as an in-depth exploration of each member of the Fantastic Four.
brodie999
brodie999 - 6/14/2018, 12:02 AM
@ILoveStargirl - Okay, Stargirl. I've written the second quadrology down. I did exactly how you wanted it to be.
ILoveStargirl
ILoveStargirl - 6/14/2018, 11:18 AM
@brodie999 - It's better than I've expected. On the other hand, I hope you don't mind doing a few edits, please.

First, add Mad Thinker rather than Molecule Man to the Frightful Four. Second, Kang and Puppet Master will join Dr. Doom's Intelligencia. Third, instead of "clay empathy", give Alicia Masters the Thing Rings as an engagement present from Ben. Fourth, Alexa Vega will portray Titania and Alicia Masters will be subbing for Sue with the Thing Exoskeleton.

Still in "Molecular Reality", once Alicia Masters defeats Titania during a fight to salvage her pride once Sue proved her she isn't helpless due to her pregnancy, Molecule Man develops more than enough backbone to throw the heroes a mountain just like he did in Secret Wars ´84.

Also Terminatrix will start "Kang Dynasty" serving Kang until she redeemed to help Hyperstorm and the Fanatstic Four.

brodie999 - 6/14/2018, 1:17 PM
@ILoveStargirl - Okay, Stargirl. I've edited the page to include the things you wanted. What do you think of them?
ILoveStargirl
ILoveStargirl - 6/15/2018, 2:09 PM
@brodie999 - That's very better.

Tim Story and Josh Trank, sit on a corner and weep. FOREVER!!!

brodie999 - 6/15/2018, 2:35 PM
@ILoveStargirl - Thanks, Stargirl. I saw some more fan casting if the 60s Fantastic Four show was a thing like Burgess Meredith as Mole Man, Jean Shrimpton as Alicia Masters, Paul Lynde as the Impossible Man, Paul Henreid as Dr. Doom, James Arness as Annihilus, Fred Hemmings as the Silver Surfer and Orson Welles as the voice of the Hate-Monger. What do you think of these casting choices?
ILoveStargirl
ILoveStargirl - 6/15/2018, 2:50 PM
@brodie999 - Orsos Welles as the voice of Hate-Monger is my favourite.
brodie999
brodie999 - 6/15/2018, 2:58 PM
@ILoveStargirl - Thanks!! Matt Dillon from Gunsmoke and the Penguin from the 60s Batman show as Annihilus and Mole Man are epic as well!!

ILoveStargirl - 6/15/2018, 3:04 PM
@brodie999 - I think Fantastic Four Damnation could be rated R.
brodie999
brodie999 - 6/15/2018, 3:16 PM
@ILoveStargirl - I think that'd be a great idea. All the other Fantastic Four movies would be rated PG-13. It can be similar to the way the first 2 Wolverine movies were rated M while Logan was rated R.
ILoveStargirl
ILoveStargirl - 6/15/2018, 4:29 PM
@brodie999 - A wise choice, considering that Mephisto is Marvel's equivalent of Satan.

I regret not adding Namor to Reed's allies against Mephisto, since he is Marvel's first antihero and we could have the old school Defenders roster with Reed instead of Hulk.
brodie999
brodie999 - 6/15/2018, 4:36 PM
@ILoveStargirl - That sounds like a great idea!! That way we can finally see the founders of the Defenders together on the big screen.
ILoveStargirl
ILoveStargirl - 6/15/2018, 4:48 PM
@brodie999 - Fantastic Four Annihilation and Kang Dynasty are the darkest of the first quadralogy, because of their emotionally mature storylines. Kang Dynasty stands out edging closer to R since its an homage to the very R-Rated Terminator and Terminator 2.

I could see Mephisto killing Jacob and Petunia Grimm while celebrating with Alicia the anniversary of Ben's transformation into the Thing. Just like the minor villain The Marquis of Death in the comics.

Also a Mephisto-empowered Dr. Doom will crush HERBIE to death and later play a sadistic game of "Kick the Can" with its inert robotic body, since cute robots don't belong to a R-Rated superhero film.
brodie999
brodie999 - 6/15/2018, 5:05 PM
@ILoveStargirl - Okay, Stargirl. I edited the article just how you wanted it to be. What else should I edit in the plot of Ultimates 3 and Ultimatum? All I know is Mark Millar wanted to kill everyone off for fun in page one of his Ultimates 3.https://twitter.com/princessytamtam/status/1004316471105859584
ILoveStargirl
ILoveStargirl - 6/15/2018, 5:58 PM
@brodie999 - Why you think it would have been a good idea making Black Panther into a tyrant? I feel uncomfortable with that idea. Unless it leads to a redemption story arc. of course.

Hulk is off-limits in our FF octalogy and also Silver Surfer is absent in Fantastic Four Damnation. I think that Fox would have jump through lots of legal hoops to have full access to Dr. Strange who is practically Dr. Doom second archenemy.
brodie999
brodie999 - 6/15/2018, 6:28 PM
@ILoveStargirl - Because the way how Millar writes the Ultimates, he also brings out darker, unpleasant qualities to Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and other characters in the Ultimate Universe. And that approach would have led to a tyrant T'Challa. That's why the Ultimate comics were darker than the Avengers and the most violent out of all the Ultimate Marvel comics.
ILoveStargirl
ILoveStargirl - 6/15/2018, 7:17 PM
@brodie999 - And then Jeph Loeb exaggerates Mark Millar's already exaggerated work.
brodie999
brodie999 - 6/15/2018, 7:34 PM
@ILoveStargirl - Yeah, but if Millar came back to write Ultimates 3 and Ultimatum, they'd be on the same level of exaggeration that he first started. He knew these characters full well while Loeb didn't. So he'd have been a much writer for these mini-series than Loeb ever was for them.
ILoveStargirl
ILoveStargirl - 6/15/2018, 7:51 PM
@brodie999 - What is your favourite installment of our first and second FF quadralogy?
brodie999
brodie999 - 6/15/2018, 9:01 PM
@ILoveStargirl - My favourites are the first FF movie and "Fantastic Four:Molcular Reality" because they're the most family-friendly FF movies of the MCU and Sue being pregnant with Valeria while fighting wouldn't cause her to have a miscarriage since her force fields can protect her from any kind of danger.
ILoveStargirl
ILoveStargirl - 6/15/2018, 9:17 PM
@brodie999 - And Titania will learn a painful lesson from Sue.

Sue is so powerful that we don't need to add Spider-Man to humilliate Titania.

The thing I enjoyed the most of our FF quadralogy its that the women are strong and interesting characters.

I'm quite disappointed that I didn't put much thought in explaining how Molecule Man and Titania got their powers. Just Beyonder did it, huh? What a weak explanation!

Since Molecular Reality is a family-friendly movie, lets say that Impossible Man was the responsible to empower Molecular Man and Titania to entertain his wife Impossible Woman and his daughter Impossible Tween and his son Impossible Kid since they found Fantastic Four Damnation was too dark and violent.
brodie999
brodie999 - 6/15/2018, 9:22 PM
@ILoveStargirl - Awesome idea, Stargirl. Who would you cast as Impossible Man, Impossible Woman and Impossible Tween in Molecular Reality?
ILoveStargirl
ILoveStargirl - 6/15/2018, 9:24 PM
@brodie999 - Voice actors from Adventure Time. Impossible Man = John DiMaggio; Impossible Woman = Hynden Walch; Impossible Tween = Olivia Olson; Impossible Kid = Jeremy Shada.
brodie999
brodie999 - 6/15/2018, 9:47 PM
@ILoveStargirl - That sounds like a great idea!! I've already edited the page to have the Impossible family in Molecular Reality!! And having Adventure Time voice actors as the characters is a great idea. Because they voiced a lot of comic relief and alien characters throughout their lives!!
ILoveStargirl
ILoveStargirl - 6/15/2018, 9:56 PM
@brodie999 - Maybe at the end of Molecular Reality, the Fantastic Four and the Impossible Family will be having some family fun... until the arrival of Willie Lumpkin.
ILoveStargirl
ILoveStargirl - 6/16/2018, 9:39 AM
@brodie999 - Which is the best twist of the Fantastic Four: Molecular Reality ending? The existence of the Impossible Family? Or Willie Lumpkin being Uatu the Watcher?

Speaking of Willie Lumpkin. I think that J.K. Simmons has enough vocal range to act with different voices as Willie Lumpkin and Uatu the Watcher.

One of the things I like the most in our FF octalogy its that women are very strong and interesting characters.
brodie999
brodie999 - 6/16/2018, 3:18 PM
@ILoveStargirl - I think Willie Lumpkin being Uatu is the best twist in Molecular Reality because it foreshadows "Secret Wars" and he watched all the events that ever happened in the Marvel Universe. So Uatu is my favourite twist.
ILoveStargirl
ILoveStargirl - 6/17/2018, 7:22 AM
@brodie999 - Doombots, Moloids, Dragon Man, Super Apes and Awesome Android... Oh, My!
brodie999
brodie999 - 6/17/2018, 2:19 PM
@ILoveStargirl - All of those ideas have my seal of approval. Should I edit the page to paste them onto here.
ILoveStargirl
ILoveStargirl - 6/17/2018, 8:17 PM
@brodie999 - I commited a big mistake! Namely, I forgot that an obscure FF villain named Psycho Man was the responsible of turning Sue into Malice with the help of Hate-Monger.

Psycho Man - Joaquin Phoenix
Hate-Monger - Iain Glen

So you will have to give a new title to Fantastic Four: Damnation. Also Dr. Strange would be absent, so Reed will make an alliance with Namor and Silver Surfer.
brodie999
brodie999 - 6/17/2018, 11:07 PM
@ILoveStargirl - Good ideas, Stargirl. I think we should retitle it "Fantastic Four: The World Within Worlds". What other plots should I redo for the film?
ILoveStargirl
ILoveStargirl - 6/18/2018, 5:49 AM
@brodie999 - That's the only plot which needs to be modified.

Do you like Joaquin Phoenix as Psycho Man?
ILoveStargirl
ILoveStargirl - 6/18/2018, 3:51 PM
@brodie999 - In Fantastic Four: Molecular Reality, Titania will feel pretty good about herself after giving a massive beatdown to the Thing and Alicia Masters, mockingly calling the latter "She-Thing", and prepares to go after Sue thinking of her as an easy target due to her pregnancy. She was wrong, because Sue is quite good at using her forcefields offensively, leaving Titania in a coma.

ILoveStargirl - 6/18/2018, 4:26 PM
@brodie999 - Fantastic. I discovered that Molecule Man isn't such a bad guy after all in the comic books. What do you think of Johnny's role in Molecular Reality?
brodie999
brodie999 - 6/18/2018, 4:36 PM
@ILoveStargirl - I think he was the only one who could convince Molecule Man to revive Titania. And he can be very persuasive when the situation calls for it.

@ILoveStargirl -Hey, Stargirl. I've recently made an revamped version of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes Season 2 that would have happened if Christopher Yost and Joshua Fine retained full control over the show. Hawkeye and Ms.Marvel would have been the focus on Powerless, Josh Keaton and Darren Norris reprising their roles as Spider-Man and J. Jonah Jameson in "Along Came a Spider.." instead of Drake Bell and J.K Simmons, Scarlet Witch and Wonder Man appearing in "Emperor Stark" which would have been titled "Emperor Doom". And Christopher Yost said they had a Nova focused episode and a 3-parter series finale where the Avengers fought Galactus on Hala instead of Earth. What do you think of these ideas?
