There have been rumors that the Fantastic Four franchise was being rebooted and thankfully this is true! I like the Fantastic 4 but those movies sucked! They were to campy and the stories minimized great characters like Doom, and Galactacus and the Silver Surfer. So I'm excited! I can't wait to see the new cast and the new story, they said it would be darker which is what the Fantastic 4 needs. There is a downside however, Akiva Goldsman is the producer for the new movie, for those who don't know he is the man who wrote the godawful
Batman and Robin script(the one with Mr. Freeze and all his ice puns) so that makes me worry, but
Green Lantern writer and
Heroes co-producer Michael Green is the writer for the movie so that makes it alot better, i feel very sure Green can make this movie great. With Marvels movies like Iron Man and Hulk being so great Fox needs to step up their Marvel movies like Spider-man Daredevil and F4 so i hope this goes great. But in light of the reboot just like with Spider-man I've made a list of actors i think would be great for the characters. But this time i have a story idea.
I don't think the villain should be Doom, he is the arch enemy but i think to really get the measure of his power he should be in a sequel when he's had time to hone his evil powers. I think the first movie should be about a villain called the Mad Thinker. He is a F4 villain with a super intellect that lays out meticulous plans that unfold perfectly and in the comics gains control of the criminal underworld making the bosses his generals to take over New York. He later breaks into the Baxter building(base of the F4)to get Reeds tech and builds an android to fight them. I think this would make a great origin villain. It can have the F4 adjusting to their powers battling someone without them then escalate to a fight with the android and at the very end show Doom come to power. But that's just me. Any who here's my pics.
Rutger Hauer as The Mad Thinker
He looks like him and he seems to be very intellectual plus he knows how to play menacing.
Rufus Sewell as Victor Von Doom
If anyone has seen
Knights Tale you know he's a great villain, arrogant, conniving intimidating and strong plus i think his voice would sound great coming from behind Doom's mask.
Alexis Denisof or Greg Kinear as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic
I am having trouble deciding between the two, i think they are both great actors and would make Reed come alive. They both are smart and awkward type actors and can pull off the blue spandex.
Justin Bartha as Reed Richards
This is in case they go with the Ultimates version of the Fantastic 4, in the Ultimates universe they are all young. He's awkward yet good looking and and just likeable.
Yvonne Strahovski or Tricia Helfer as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman
Both are great choices yet again. Yvonne you'd know from the show Chuck but then again Tricia Helfer was agent Alex Forrest in Chuck episode 1. I think i prefer Helfer a bit more, she is sexier,which sue Storm is supposed to be, and she has comic experience she was the voice of Black Cat in the Spectacular Spider-man show and the Web Of Shadows game and Sif in Superhero squad. I think Yvonne for the Ultimates version but Helfer for the older version.
Vin Diesel as the Thing
Hes buff and can pull off the voice, he was the voice of the Giant in
The Iron Giant
Brad Garrett as the voice of The Thing
This is if they do cgi, i think it would be great, they used this method for the Silver Surfer, someone else as the motion capture and a voice actor. I think Garrett's voice is perfect for The Thing, i always imagined it sounding like his Robert voice from
Everybody Loves Raymond when i read the comics.
Mike Vogel as The Human Torch
He looks almost exactly like the comics depiction and he plays the macho sarcastic dude role well plus he can amp up the intensity for those fights, and he could pull off wearing those tights.
Well those are my picks i hope you enjoyed and let me know what you guys come up with.
Thanks for reading!
