Umm, this is not exactly what I had in mind, Mr. Feige…..

 

[Detective Conan]

This is the worst Fantastic Four casting yet!

Looks like Sue is about 60 years older than her brother, it’ll be interesting to see how they explain that one

Maybe it's Franklin and she's suffering from comic Aunt May syndrome?

when you spend too much time in the quantum realm you get older or something

Who is Grimm and who is Richards?

 

[Stark Bauer]

Who is Grimm and who is Richards?

Neither. Grimm is probably a grunt, like a Joe Rogan type. Richards would be someone with Mark Zuckerberg's build and Steve Jobs' type personality.

 

[Dark Raven]

It looks like Emily Blunt fell through a plant.

As much as I’m psyched for the F4 to finally come home there’s a side of me that thinks they maybe are coming into the MCU a little too late. I mean…the F4 are coming into an MCU where Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Widow are gone. Hulk is no longer savage. T’Challa is gone. I guess Spider-Man is still around - for now. But man, imagine if Marvel had gotten the rights back in 2008 after ROTSS. Not only would Fan4stic never have been made, but the team would’ve already been in the MCU by now. Just think how differently the Infinity Saga would’ve been had Marvel had the F4 rights from the start.

I think the FF could end up being something of a “renaissance” for the MCU.

They started with the big names people wanted to see, but now they’re kind of meandering.

Black Widow is the first MCU film I didn’t see opening weekend. And it’s not because of the pandemic and I didn’t buy it on Disney Plus.

i just didn’t care, because it’s Black Widow.

Shang Chi, Eternals, Black Panther (without T’Challa) just don’t interest me. These aren’t the comic books I read. These characters weren’t on T-Shirts and posters.

I think when the FF finally arrive, people will be hungry for real, iconic superheroes again. At least I know I will be.

I understand but where the MCU is right now, FF and X-Men are coming in right as there is a lull in the universe. There was a risk the Avengers would overshadow these teams if they all reached their peaks at the same time.

Since Watts is directing No Way Home. Does anybody have any expectation we’ll get our first Easter eggs to F4 in the MCU with that movie?

it’s possible,

Watts already gave us our first Easter Egg.

Now I’m expecting something more substantial.

 

[Dark Raven]

Watts already gave us our Feist Easter Egg.

Now I’m expecting something more substantial.

Fixed. It was probably a reference to 1234 by Feist.

I would guess "no", mainly because of the joint custody. I don't think Marvel would want to do that important an intro in a movie they do not fully control.

 

[Stark Bauer]

spidey is linked to ff. they could make a reference to him wanting to feel part of a family instead of avengers

 

[Willie Lumpkin]

I’m not going to say it’s likely, but I think it’s possible we’ll see Johnny.

Maybe just as a real quick post-credits scene.

 

[Crimz]

I think the most will be a namedrop or something. I highly doubt any characters will actually be shown considering they apparently haven't even begun casting.

Also, I'm thinking we won't get casting news until next year.

I’m betting they have some casting done.

The schedule points to a 2023 release, and with their history of introducing characters prior to the actual film, I’m betting they have a partial cast and a plan to introduce the characters.

When it comes to casting, absence of evidence isn’t evidence of absence.

If the rumor is true, that Emily Blunt is also considering a lawsuit with Disney, we can finally forget about the Krasinski/Blunt duo for Reed and Susan.

What lawsuit is she considering and for which film?
