Movies: The Fantastic Four: First Steps - July 25, 2025

I thought he was pretty terrible in Doctor Strange 2

He just doesn't have any onscreen charm or charisma

Agreed, his cameo did nothing to whet my appetite for a 2-hour starring role.

Marvel has absolutely nailed casting decisions all throughout the MCU, but this one seems off.

Also agreed with the comments above that the Thing will be the make-or-break lynchpin of this project, and it's almost a given that at some point he'll have to fight the Hulk and exchange quips with Spider-Man.

Agreed. Best comic ever. Introduced Dr Doom, Galactus, the Inhumans, the Silver Surfer, etc.

Some good actors listed there. Lets see if they can finally pull it off.

I like Pedro Pascal but, I don't look at him and see the smartest man in the known galaxy in him at all.

Better than casting John Krasinski for the part in this movie.

 

[Doublerum1975]

I was thinking Pedro pascal was to old for the role then realized we are the same age so I’m ok with it now lol

It just barely beat out, "Ok, let's try this one more time"

 

[BertCorbeau]

Have to assume RDJ will be in this in some capacity (probably minor), or they’ll tease him at the end

He's way too old!

I like the concept art, the feel, direction of were their going with this and the cast as a whole and all, but when I look at Pedro Pascal I surely don't see "smartest man in the universe" Reed Richards material at all, I'll reserve judgement until I see this but Pascal to me is horribly miscast as Richards.

*5th?

I hope they cast John Krasinski as Reed Richards. It would have been weird for it to be a one-off.

Of the 2 prior Reeds I prefer the first actor over Teller. Think he looks the part the most including over Pascal. As well as over Krasinski. But see how it goes….
