The "Who Would You Cast Instead" Thread

[EssayM]

This should be interesting. Excluding dummy answers like "Literally anyone else!!", if you had to cast a teenage FF (we might as well make it fair), who would you have chosen instead of the current cast?

Personally, while I'm okay with Mara and Bell in their respective roles, I would like to see Donald Glover instead of MBJ for the Torch (if we're casting black, Glover is much better at comedy) and...I'll have to think about my choice for Reed, but I'm sure there are much better ones than Miles Teller.

Reed Richards - Tom Hanks
Susan Richards - Elizabeth Banks
Benjamin Grimm - Bruce Willis
Johnny Storm - Justin Timberlake

I said teenage FF. If Trank has to deal with it, we should too.

 

[Human Torch]

I wouldn't cast a Teenage FF film.It's absurd to have space explorers who are teenagers.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

They may be inter-dimensional travellers.

 

[Joe Rockhead]

I'm sure that you can come up with an adequate list from the Disney Channel kid factory.

 

[Brutalitops]

You shouldn't make it just Teenage FF. If would be more fair if people provided a re-cast of both Teenage and Classic FF.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Yeah Teenage FF is pretty hard to cast because in most incarnations they're older.

 

[Human Torch]

I'm sure that you can come up with an adequate list from the Disney Channel kid factory.

Well,We already have Ashley Tisdale as the front runner for Doom.t:

 

[Harry Dresden]

If I had too though...

Reed Richards - Josh Hutcherson
The Thing - Michael Pitt
The Invisible Woman - Nicole Beharie
The Human Torch - MBJ

 

[Eddie Dean]

I'm a rebel -

Mr. Fantastic - Kyle Chandler
Invisible Woman - Sarah Paulson
The Thing - Louis C.K.
The Human Torch - Mike Vogel
Doctor Doom - Werner Herzog (voice)

 

[Harry Dresden]

Sarah Paulson is very underrated so it's nice to see her on someone's cast.

I wouldn't cast a Teenage FF film.It's absurd to have space explorers who are teenagers.

it's absurd to have civilians be space explorers. so i guess Johnny Storm and Sue wouldn't be part of your FF.

I just remembered that Jack O'Connell (Calisto from 300: Rise of an Empire) was one of the guys rumored for Reed Richards before Teller got the role. So my official fancast, if I had to go with teenagers, would be:

Jack O'Connell as Reed Richards

Jena Malone as Sue Storm

Donald Glover as Johnny Storm (Trank started it, and Glover would be a much better choice IMO):

And Christian Cooke (Magic City) as Ben Grimm:

 

[Human Torch]

it's absurd to have civilians be space explorers. so i guess Johnny Storm and Sue wouldn't be part of your FF.

I thought someone was going to say "Johnny is a teenager!" but you went the civilian route.Well played.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Being limited to young actors is so boring though.

 

[EssayM]

Okay, fine, cast older if you want. I just thought casting younger would be more of a challenge.

Louis C.K. as The Thing would be brilliant. BRILLIANT!!!

 

[Six]

No.

 

[jonathancrane]

Agreed with Six.

 

[Eddie Dean]

I disagree with both of you.

 

[JoeyConQueso]

Binge watched Chuck over the holidays and kept picturing Levi, Strahovski and Baldwin as the FF with some random blond kid as Johnny.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Louie C.K as The Thing is inspired.
