Recommended VideosEven though we’ve had three Fantastic Four movies, fans are desperate for Marvel’s First Family to enter the MCU as there’s a lot of hope that this is a case of fourth time’s the charm, and we’ll finally see the characters adapted in style. But to do that, Kevin Feige and company are going to have to find the right actors to bring them to life. Luckily, the fans have a few ideas to inspire them.
Spoilers to follow!
John Krasinski’s cameo in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, as the Reed Richards of Earth-838, has caused the excitement for the incoming Fantastic Four relaunch to sky-rocket, with everyone desperate to know whether Krasinski will stay on as Reed full-time and if so, who will be joining him in the Baxter Building. The FF is trending on Twitter today, then, as folks share their fancastings for who they want to see play Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing in the franchise.
My #FantasticFour fan cast…
Reed: John Krasinski
Sue Storm: Emily Blunt (I guess…)
Johnny Storm: Lucas Hedges
The Thing: Michael Cudlitz
Doctor Doom: Dan Stevens
Director: Brad Bird or John Krasinski #MarvelStudios | #F4 pic.twitter.com/gu2H2WsR0H

Fuck it. This is my fancast, let's go! #FantasticFour pic.twitter.com/ZFPNLMKC9B

Dacre Montgomery has been a popular pick for Johnny for years, but could Liev Schreiber switch Sabretooth for Ben?
I see that #FantasticFour is trending right, here is my casting for Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm. I think both have what it takes to play the characters. pic.twitter.com/mECApjcD6Q

My fancast for Susan storm/the invisible woman in #FantasticFour is Lily James . She’s a brilliant actress that definitely deserves a spot in the MCU. It would be nice if she kept her British accent though as we don’t have many British MCU heroes. pic.twitter.com/CHc6H8ugVj
— 𝙹𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚌𝚊 ❦ ™️ (@Thecorsairswife) May 8, 2022Rudy Pankow’s got the right look for the Human Torch.
I really want that #FantasticFour movie, but if Rudy Pankow isn't cast as #JohnnyStorm I'm not watching it pic.twitter.com/G4Xqk1kkKR

— RatoDeStarCity (@RatodeStarling) May 8, 2022OK, sorry, Rogen, but Brendan Fraser as Ben Grimm is inspired.
Guys, hear me out. #FantasticFour pic.twitter.com/QX0eVROxme
— The Negotiator (@TheNegotiator_) May 9, 2022Zac Efron will end up in the MCU someday if fans have anything to say about it.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, @ZacEfron would make an INCREDIBLE Johnny Storm #FantasticFour pic.twitter.com/zNGBbCQoak
— Comic Book Keepers (@CBKcast) May 9, 2022Twitter got Krasinski as Reed, can it make Blunt as Invisible Woman happen, too?
We made it once, we can make it again. Marvel, please. #EmilyBlunt #SueStorm #FantasticFour pic.twitter.com/Dh5oE6O0Iu
— Oscar Cabagné (@OCabagne) May 8, 2022With Jon Watts having just exited the production, the Fantastic Four movie is currently in flux, but we’re expecting news on who’ll replace him to come soon. And once a director is in place, the casting should soon follow. Could one of these people end up on the team?
