The top contenders for the lead role in Marvel’s Fantastic Four came together in a stunning fan poster that ended the debate over who should be in the movie. Director Matt Shakman and Kevin Feige have long been busy casting for the film. Regardless, Marvel Studios has yet to make any official announcements about who will be cast, but according to several sources, there are indications of who Marvel Studios is considering for the Fantastic Four role.
Fan-made artwork created by AGT Design shows the potential protagonists of Marvel’s Fantastic Four. Take a look at the image below:
The aforementioned Marvel Fantastic Four poster features Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Matt Smith as Reed Richards/Fantastic, and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch.
Who should play the Thing in the MCU’s Fantastic Four?
Over the past few years, many actors have been embroiled in rumors about the film. Adam Driver and Margot Robbie were considered for the roles of Reed Richards and Sue Storm. Meanwhile, Paul Mescal and Austin Butler were among the actors considered for the role of Johnny Storm. The choice of Ben Grimm/The Thing turned out to be more difficult. As you can see from the fan poster above, the writer chose not to use actors who were associated with the role.
Fox has tried twice in the past to start a Fantastic Four series. However, neither Michael Chiklis nor Jamie Bell are Jewish, which is part of the Thing’s character in the Marvel comics. It looks like Marvel Studios wants to change that, which means Shakman and Feige are looking for a Jewish actor for the part. David Diggs is the most popular choice for the hero, who fits the franchise’s approach due to his Jewish mother. Seth Rogen is another voice actor for the role, and like Diggs, is also Jewish.
It is not yet known when Marvel Studios will officially announce the cast of Marvel’s Fantastic Four. With the WGA and SAG-AFTRA going on strike at the same time, all work on the upcoming MCU films has come to a halt anyway. So it’s safe to say that there won’t be any announcements on this issue until the issue affecting the entire industry is resolved.
