I refuse to get excited until I see an armored Dr. Doom.
Kazenji
Here's hoping they get the group right this time
for the Tim Story films i feel like they got things right with Ioan Gruffudd, Chris Evans, Michael Chiklis
Alba didn't feel like Sue Storm to me and same goes for Julian McMahon for Doom.

FFS, DO NOT CAST DOOM IN PART ONE!!!
Victor Von Doom needs to be built up like Thanos and methodically introduced.
Mole Man and his Kaijus, Annihilus and the Negative Zone, and even the Skrulls are great villains.

Yeah. Hes actually been in every FF film to date. Let that sink in.
He needs to be THE MCU villain now. Not just thrown in like in the last 3 or 4 FF films.
Robtard
Don't know if he will be, as Thanos and his literal universal level threat is a hard act to follow. Unless they intend to make Doom that, another U-level villain.

Think that would make him perfect. Cant just keep going bigger and more powerful. Thatll get boring pretty quick.
Doom would be the anti- Tony Stark.
Anyway theyre obviously going for Kang first. Although Doom could play a big part in Secret Wars, like he does in the comics.
DeadpoolXXX
the first f4 movie will probably just be an introduction to doom, where he's a lower end threat with the potential to become a lot more- he probably won't be nearly thanos or kang level right off the bat. but it will more then likely culminate with doom stealing some vast cosmic power like he's done ad nauseam in the comics, and then he'll become an uber tier threat that they have to deal with.
and with secret wars also on the horizon, it would make sense for them to use doom in that way (since he stole the power of galactus AND beyonder in the source material).

Seeing how Feige went with Spider-Man im sure he wont start off with Doom or Galactus.
The FF have so many great villains that Fox never bothered with.

You know what I meant. The ones that followed suck ass. And to my point, why do producers seem to think that we will like a retelling of the same old story.
Nuke Nixon
I don't think the FF need an origin story movie, just toss them out already in Future Foundation mode and let the story happen, of course it has to be an actual good story first and foremost.
Darth Thor
Yeah wont be an origin story knowing Feige. Although they might mention the space mission where they got their powers.

All you need are the right people involved to do it properly, The previous ones from FOX clearly didn't have those "Right people" involved.
Patient_Leech
Never heard of Vanessa Kirby?
I mean, I don't know her very well either, but I know she's in the Mission Impossible movies. And she was in the Hobbs and Shaw F&F spinoff which I couldn't bring myself to finish. She had a small part in Jupiter Ascending, which I'm sure jettisoned her career... lol
She's a hot, badass kind of chick. That's my general impression.
Kazenji
I know Adam Driver (Reed) & Margot Robbie (Sue) was apparently going to be in this movie
apparently they got ditched because Disney didn't want to pay the big bucks.
Robtard
Vanessa Kirby is both a decent actress and sexy. Good choice for Sue Storm
Robtard
Because you want to f**k a yellow ball video game character. Got it. Weird. But I got the reference

Well at least you got it!

Regardless of who plays who, I think this is pretty much the last chance for the FF. Hope the MCU do them justice.

I did with Margot Robbie as Sue, Adam Driver not so much as Reed.

Kinda like how Loki was done, Also he needs to be a villain that stays around for a while not a one and done villain.

You probably could make an R-rated film out of F4. If it had a shitload of scenes involving Dr. Doom and Latveria.
But generally, F4 is a family-friendly, lame comedy and nothing more.
I wish Marvel let them all die

Big reason why I loved Multiverse of Madness so much.
Robtard
I think you mean X-Rated.
So you're the person who enjoyed Strange: MoD.
StiltmanFTW
Loved it and so did great many fans.
Illuminati got exactly what they deserved --- what, you'd prefer it to be like comics, with WWH sodomizing them against their will and making them fight each other to death?

Pascal is so damn miscast. Great actor. But I can't see him as Reed. I also feel he is staring to be overexposed.
Vanessa Kirby is a great choice for Sue.
I liked Joseph Quinn in Stranger Things. He was the best part of the recent season, but his character was basically the opposite of Johnny. I guess we'll see how that shakes out.
Can't say much about Ebon Moss-Bachrach.

Well they cast a female Silver Surfer.
It's went over as well as expected
Impediment
Norrin Radd should be the Surfer, not Shalla-Bal.
KingD19
Yeah it's...there's nothing wrong with Shalla-Bal as Surfer, but this is the origin of the FF. Explaining where they've been in the MCU since the 60's. It makes no sense to introduce a character who wouldn't even exist as the replacement for Surfer without the original. If you're doing the origin, use the original Silver Surfer. Shalla-Bal can be introduced down the line after Norrin has run his course and it makes sense to bring her in to take over. This is like having She-Hulk replace Thing on the team right out the gate with no explanation as to why.
roughrider
Unless this FF is coming from somewhere else in the multiverse, so their Shalla Bal Silver Surfer could just be the equivalent of a Captain Carter. We know by the time this film arrives, the implosion of the MCU multiverse as a whole should be in progress. They put this plot point in Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania, so now it's time to start delivering on it.
Kazenji
Seen alot of moron's saying they've gender swapped Norrin Radd, Ummm no they haven't
Shella-Bal as a Surfer is a established character from the Earth-X story. Who's to see Norrin can't still show up later on.
rudester
Dear god let this movie die with all the rest of the fantastic four movies before it.

Couldn't care less if Surfer has shiny silver pecs or boobs. Well, I'd much rather see the boobs visually, but not going to affect the story much at all either way.

Has it occured to anyone here this could be the Captain Carter equivalent of the Silver Surfer?
It's heavily rumored this FF could be from somewhere else in the mulitverse, a reality they left in 1963. If they were really gender swapping the Surfer, they would be calling any female playing him Norrid Radd.

We already had Norrin Radd and the film was shit.
I hope they make it "Nora Radd", as a pair of t!ts will not change this adaptation/story in any significant way. It's going to be good or bad or mediocre regardless of Surfer's gender.

Then why change it? People want to see their favorite characters on scree, not some shitty knockoff version.
Luckily, I don't care for Silver Surfer so, in this case, the change doesn't matter to me.
ares834
A character is a hell of a lot more then one paragraph of their backstory from wikipedia. Now, is Surfer's gender a big part of his character? Probably not. But, as I said, people want accurate versions of their favorite characters and a female version isn't that.
Also, people freak out over changes from the source material all the time. Especially when it is seemingly unnecessary changes like this.
StiltmanFTW
I think we can all agree that Robbie wants to undergo a gender transition as soon as possible.

Correct and correct and it's largely irrelevant to Surfer, why I couldn't care less.
I'm more concerned with the accuracy hitting all the right spots at the character's personality and power-set, than what's between his/her legs. As we saw in 2007, correct gender, film was still trash.
Would be like people getting upset because a Latino is cast as Reed Richards, when skin color is largely irrelevant to the character. Speaking of, where's the real outrage over that? Answer: Selective outrage. Pedro isn't that great of a fit (imo), but it's not because of his skin color.
Of all the things to worry about this film, Surfer's gender is barely a blip. The MCU being on a serious downward slide is top concern.

So where's the gender swapping with the Surfer then?
since this Shalla-Bal Surfer is from that limited series Earth-X.
Robtard
Wait, are they actually using the Shalla-Bal character and not some made-up female version of Norrin? Cos LoL is so.
That's not a gender swap, it's using an alternative character almost no one knows about and this is most likely set in an alt-timeline, since the MCU is balls deep in the multi-verse nonsense. Which needs to stop, imo.
You gender jerkers need to calm down. At least be happy Norrin Radd didn't get a vagina.

If they wanted a female "Herald of Galactus", they could've used Frankie Raye or Cybermancer. At least they're both canon and not just limited-edition gender/palette swaps of actual characters. Nobody wants the OG introduced later on. Imagine if the first Captian America we saw was John Walker.
Hell they could've used Stardust who is basically a gender less amoeba/spacefish.

Its just so obvious they're still trying to cash in on girl power and strong female leads and "girls get it done" that they took a great concept and HAD to shove a lady in there even though canonical Sue Storm is easily more powerful than Captain Marvel and Scarlet Witch in many ways.
There is no argument you could have to make sense of them using a limited run character who is essentially non-canon and no one knows while you're using the Canon stories and versions of everyone else in the story, when the limited run you use is a girl swap of one of their primary adversaries, turned ally,turned adversary again unless you're trying to hit that "Furiosa, Woman King" demographic. Nobody would've batted an eye if they used Frankie Raye for a girl or Stardust who has one of the dopest concepts of all time.

You try posting from a hospital bed after a burst appendix lol. I tried to use a pic from Marvel wiki and its just not kind to hotlinks.
Stardust would've been peeerfect, and after they "defeated" it at the end of the movie, turns out Stardust was just a scout and isn't hurt at all. Reports back to a being that suddenly gleams in the darkness as Stardust bioluminesence shines off of Surfer meditating on his board looking out into deep space, that the humans are more formidable than anticipated and Norrin goes..."I shall inform our Master. Gather the Heralds, tell them to prepare his feast.
Boom, you set up Surfer, Galactus, and like 7 other space badasses before you even get close enough to fight the biggest big bad MCU has ever seen.

One of the problems was Carol's entire character has been "she's the strongest and she's a woman" and then suddenly they add in all of her backstory and midstory throughout Marvel's like that wouldn't have made it make a ton more sense if we'd known that she basically caused a societal collapse decades ago and never went back to fix a problem she caused.

"Woke" as the word has been twisted into now isn't real. There's just a bunch of shit movies cos of shit and lazy writing. Often the byproduct of something good that made money and the companies just keep shitting out to keep cashing in. Compare Ironman 2008 to Phase 5, save GoTG3.
If Aliens had been made today and a new franchise, some people would be crying about Ripley kicking ass and saving Hicks the hero-tough-marine-man, while going full "Reee-eeee!" over Vasquez, as it's selective outrage.

The 80s and 90s was full of strong female leads but they were strong people who happened to be women, they weren't strong because they were women. And it didn't come at the expense of everybody else. They were people who had flaws and issues and overcame them to be great. It wasn't just shoved in our faces how awesome they are because they have sweater jubblies.

That's effectively the same thing. I'll give you another example: If Terminator came out in 2013, and then T2 in 2024 where Sarah Connor went from nigh useless diner wench to ripped man-ass-kicking-murder-mom, it would be labeled "wokeness" by the same crowd.

I disagree, because it was plainly stated and shown that she spent essentially her kids entire childhood on the run, prepping and constantly fighting off time assassins. People who gripe at that point are part of the crowd who are just looking for reasons to be angry and can't find any. People who gripe about She-Hulk for example have a million reasons that they're actually right.
Nobody complained about Evelyn Salt because she was a woman and a badass who knew how to be a badass while being a woman. She couldn't easily outfght and outmuscle guys twice her size so she had to be smarter, faster, more resourceful, stuff that made sense. She actually failed at times and even when she won, she wasn't walking away pretty from a fight with a 6'3 goon trained in Krav Maga and knife fighting.

Be that as it may, we would be seeing the same effect with T2.
Captain Marvel and Scarlet Witch are two of the most powerful characters in the MCU, it's because their powers are derived from infinity stones, the "most awesomely powerful forces in the universe".
Vision was too, he had to be backstabbed by a guy with a super-duper-spear in order for the story to progress. Otherwise he could have kicked everyone's ass in.
