I don’t know how reliable this is, but it seems legit and with his popularity I do think it’s possible.

What’s everyone’s thought on this as a rumor and as a potential actual casting?

    I actually totally agree with you that remaking things has always been the way.

    I dunno why stuff like this hits different though. Maybe it’s because I’m old enough to see the same story over and over and notice it now, like you said. But I think it’s a bit more than that.

    I mean, the Disney movie Aladdin for example is a beloved part of my childhood. And it’s just an old story retold… But it’s a unique piece of art on its own right. The animation, the comedy, the music, etc. It feels like it stands on its own despite being an old story.

    But, and I’m guessing here, this Fantastic Four movie is going to be just like the last Fantastic Four movie. But this time with Pedro Pascal. It’s not gonna be unique. None of these new era of marvel type movies are different from the last aside from the characters. And that’s not a bad thing either! It’s a totally valid form of art and enjoyment.

    It’s just a bit crazy.

      The last Fant4stic Four movie was a steaming pile of ass.

      But my biggest concern is always the cgi for Reed. You cannot make Mr. Fantastic look realistic because the physics don’t make any sort of sense. If he stretches out the way he does in the comics, he would fall over. He doesn’t have Spiderman grippy feet, so once his center of gravity leaves the area around his hips, he needs to be laying on the floor like a snake.

      That’s why every movie has done everything possible to avoid showing him do anything. It’s not the actor’s fault that stretchy powers look bad on screen.

        That was legitimately one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t come up with any redeeming qualities
