The MCU producers have generally been pretty good with casting up until this point with a few notable missteps along the way. Eternals, more than other so far, just seem pretty lacklustre. Richard Madden and Kumail Nanjiani have just never been all that talented. Neither has Kit Harrington tbh. Barry Keoghan done some solid movies especially in Dunkirk and 71. Don Lee similar in his Korean films.
Jolie and Hayek being the big names are a mixed bag in the movies and performances. Recently I was very disappointed in Those Who Wish Me Dead although that was more due to expectation on Taylor Sheridan's writing (Sicario, Hell or Highwater and Wind River)
I would disagree about Madden (i thought he was good in the Bodyguard), but mostly agree on the rest (I liked Kumail in Silicon Valley, but having him do finger guns in the trailer doesn't do him in any favours). And they don't have the hook of being kooky enough that the Guardians had to win over people who've never heard of them, nor do they have that Avengers connection.

This movie isn't really getting bad reviews, just divisive ones. What's interesting too is that the complaints about it are all over the place, with some saying that it's too close to the Marvel formula and others saying that it isn't formulaic *enough*.
Idk, I'm excited. I have no idea what I'm about to walk into.

Only 95 reveiws on RT, but 63% is the lowest for any MCU film to date.
Although technically that's still considered Fresh.

I hadent heard. Great if they do.
That rumour has been around for a couple of years. No idea if there's any validity to it.
But would make sense to re-introduce them in MCU's Fantastic Four.
