Marvel’s First Family Casting Thread

[Willie Lumpkin]

Those are all comic book accurate suggestions. To the spirit of the characters. Who would you choose as Doom?

Hmmm, that’s tough, because ideally I’d like an Eastern European Romani, but I can’t name anyone like that.

I’d probably want a Jason Isaacs type.

Youre in luck. Please follow the thread below







So there you have it there is an actual talented actor of Romani descent who actually wants the part of Doom. Make mine Marvel!

I’m trying something a little different.

I asked myself, “If I could have any actors from any era, who would I cast?”

I see this as different than the “What if they made an FF film in the 80’s?”, because I’m not playing “What if”, but rather thinking about what I’m looking for.

While this is the first time I’ve actually tried to come up with specific names, I find myself comparing proposed names to people like these, and if they don’t compare favorably, I tend to dismiss them. I hope our real cast can come close to this ideal:

Reed Richards - 35 year old Jon Hamm. Don Draper was close to how I imagine Reed - He’s the smartest one in the room and he knows it, and he doesn’t have a lot of patience for people who don’t get it. Reed should be a little softer and updated for 2023, but a young Hamm could play him.

Ben Grimm - 35 year old Liev Schrieber. It’s hard to find a Jewish guy with blue eyes, but even harder to find one who has an old-school tough-guy persona along with dry, self-effacing sense of humor, but I think Schrieber could pull it off.

Sue Storm - 25 year old Grace Kelly. Grace Kelly had a larger-than-life mystique that suits Sue. She would have the ability to pull off the seemingly impossible balance of characteristics Sue needs to have. Sue needs to give the impression she can do anything and never get rattled, and Grace Kelly seems perfect for that to me.

Johnny Storm - 18 Year old Ryan Reynolds. While the adults are caught up worrying about their problems, Johnny is just having fun, and I think a young Ryan Reynolds could pull that off perfectly.

I think parallel actors to who you chose are:

- Dr House Hugh Laurie as Reed Richards

- A young Reese Witherspoon so her daughter Ava Philippe

- Liev Schreiber is still a good age for Ben
- Dylan O’Brien reminds me of a young RDJ and Ryan Reynolds

When I think of the F4, visually , as opposed to acting ,I think of

And for Doom, while not a Romani actor, I see

Comedian, male or female, according to Twitter.

How about...

 

[Enriquespy]

My pick: Tig Notaro.

I like Maya Rudolph for it if we’re going with a female voice.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

as for a female(Comedian) voice what about, Kristen Schaal ??

that high pitch (almost child like) voice could be interesting for H.E.R.B.I.E.
