      @@jamesdeziel1468 Same here. That's why I would cast Zac Efron if I had my way. He already proven he has the comedic chops to play the cocky pretty boy in the mcu, but he also shown that he can do drama as well. I think Zac Efron would be a perfect choice in my opinion; especially if Emily Blunt is cast as Invisible Woman because he looks like he could be her younger brother.

    Dacre Montgomery would be an amazing Johnny Storm. I think Chris Evans did a good job, but I actually had a hard time buying into his relationship with any other member of the team. Chris Evans' version seemed almost off-putting, like the others were just barely tolerating him throughout the movies. Dacre Montgomery's character in Power Rangers literally starts out that same way and bonds with the rest of the characters throughout the movie. If they follow that same kind of arc, he would play the role perfectly.

    • @patrickdoyle6201
      @patrickdoyle6201 3 года назад +5

      IDK, I feel like Evans & Chiklis were perfect together, like Downey & Ruffalo or Stewart & McKellan. Johnny being off-putting is what made his potential sacrifice so impactful IMHO

    • @bythemoondial7852
      @bythemoondial7852 3 года назад +7

      They were pretty good, actually. The thing that really bothers me about Johnny's relationship with the rest of the team is actually his relationship with Sue. That scene you're talking about at the end of Silver Surfer is one of the things that bothers me the most. Maybe it was a direction choice and not an acting choice, but Johnny literally sees his sister is dying / dead and we don't get a whole lot of emotional response. His fight with Doctor Doom should have been a lot less quips and more primal rage over the fact that this dude JUST THREW A SPEAR INTO HIS SISTER'S CHEST. Johnny was such an impulsive, emotional character that having that moment be his moment of clarity and control just rubbed me wrong.
      Also, while we're talking about amazing superhero duo chemisty, we can't just ignore McAvoy and Fassbender. Say what you want about those prequel movies, but I think they had just as much chemistry as Stewart and McKellan

    • @uscman
      @uscman 3 года назад +1

      Patrick Doyle Evans and Chiklis were the ONLY good casting of those films. I thought Reed and Sue were badly miscast. I pity the awful experience Jessica Alba went through, there was an instance where they CG’d tears for a scene where Sue cried because Alba couldn’t cry. And the director rudely told her they’d pay money for her CG tears. I remember seeing the 2005 film ice and never recognized Chris Evans, so when 2011 came when the trailer for Captain America came out, I forever associated Chris Evans with that character. He was amazing as the character and gave amazing performances in all his 9 MCU films!

    • @bythemoondial7852
      @bythemoondial7852 3 года назад +2

      @@uscman I heard a slightly different version of the story where Jessica Alba said she did cry for the scene, but the director told her she looked ugly when she cried like that and to just sit there and they'd CGI in the tears so she'd be "crying pretty". Either way, I think she was definitely treated badly.
      Also, apparently the suit for Chiklis was so miserable that they were worried daily about him getting heat stroke and passing out so they would take off part of it just to hose him down with water to cool him off.

    I've heard some people say Dwayne Johnson be Ben Grimm (because the Rock and such), but Brendan Fraser sticks out to me as being able to do both rugged and soft. Also, being Jewish is a big part of Grimm's character, and Fraser isn't unfamiliar with that territory.

      I respectfully disagree with you saying that being Jewish is a big part of Ben's character. It wasn't really mentioned before Dan Slott did a mini series in 2005 or so. Given the character has been around since the 1960s I'd say it's some added flavor at best.

      Alan Russette it was actually in in Fantastic Four, Vol. 3 #56 August 2002, which I know is only a few years earlier but I think it’s worth mentioning because Ben’s Jewish heritage was confirmed when it was by the writers at least partially as a nod to Jack Kirby’s Jewish identity and his affection and attachment for Ben as a character. So I would respectfully argue that it’s at least important enough to be considered in casting and character for any movie. And why not have more Jewish rep on screen, I’m sure they would be tasteful and subtle about it. It’d be a respectful nod to the ever growing history of the character and the man who brought the series to life.
      Here’s a cute little Hanukkah card Jack Kirby himself drew of Ben! The blurb below it has a little history about Fan4 volume 3 too.

      @@hambone.fakenamington I don't dispute the connection to Kirby whatsoever. My point is that it's a gross exaggeration to say it's a "big part" of his character. It's a fairly recent addition in the grand scheme of things. Ben has a lot more depth than he's ever given credit for. For example, he's always written like a lunkhead jock, but in order to be a test pilot with the US military, he would have been required to have (at bare minimum) a bachelors degree in Mathematics or Physics. That's not something a lunkhead could pull off. I'm not overly partial to the ethnic/religious background of whoever gets cast; however, he'll need blue eyes (or have to be very comfortable with blue contact lenses).

    • @hambone.fakenamington
      @hambone.fakenamington 3 года назад +2

      Alan Russette I never said it was a big part, I’m not the op I don’t speak for them, my point was that it’s at least worth bringing into his character in any films. Ben has a really rich history and a really interesting childhood and life and if they want to give credit to those aspects of him they should give credit to his more recently (nearly 2 decades ago so not that recent, come on) added history. It means something to kids and adults who have grown up with him recently and it means something in general to an entire community of people to be represented by a really phenomenal character and not another stereotype. There’s also something to be said for casual representation, his faith doesn’t have to be a huge plot point or character arc, but like I said they can handle it subtlety.
      A Jewish person’s entire character isn’t wrapped up in being Jewish, so Ben’s wouldn’t be either - he would still have his other traits, I always see Ben, especially pretransformation as a classic Older Brother/Best Friend type, he’s fun and nice but responsible enough to pull his act together, he’s been around even at a young age, he’s there to look out for you, he can still have all that depth with a Menorah somewhere on his mantle or something. Honestly I don’t think they could get away with completely washing it away because a lot of fans do care about the recently added history that has been accepted as canon in pretty much all following media. Especially when it comes to representation for any kind of diversity that Marvel already lacks, and with certain nasty opinions rising again with certain unsavory groups, Jewish people also deserve that representation. So like I said - important enough to consider when casting and writing Ben.
      I agree with the blue eyes, he should also hue on the light auburn hair side imo (if they do an origin story which I can’t see how they wouldn’t, they need a better take than the 2 we got). Not quite ginger but a light warm reddish brown.
      Edit: I’m sorry this was so long, lmao I hope you can tell Ben has been one of my fave character for 20-something years.

    Given that Spider-Man is appropriately aged at around 16 in high school, I hope they do the same with Johnny Storm, instead of casting him with a 30-something actor. In fact, given that there's usually 2-3 years between movies, they'd behoove themselves by casting him even a bit younger than that.

    Reed Richards - John Krasinski
    Sue Storm - Emily Blunt
    Ben Grimm - David Denman
    Johnny Storm - Dacre Montgomery
    Reasoning:
    First off, John and Emily is a given. They are both fantastic actors in their own right, but seeing them together in A Quiet Place really solidified this for me. I'd love to see them bring that core vibe to this project and really put the "family" in the First Family.
    David Denman is probably most known for his role as Roy in The Office, but that's one of the reasons that I picked him. I think that he and John could really sell the best friend vibe, and after seeing him in films like The Power Rangers and that one with the evil superman kid (can't remember the name), he really sold me on his acting abilities. I personally think that he would kill this, and I'd love for him to have a breakout role like this that he can call his own. Also, because he played Dacre's father in The Power Rangers, I feel like he would be able to bring a nice mentor/father figure type vibe to the film.
    For me, Dacre Montgomery is the only choice for Johnny. I've seen names like Zac Efron thrown around, but honestly, I feel like he's too big of a star to play this part. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see Zac in the MCU, just not as Johnny. All that said, I love Dacre. He was amazing in Stranger Things, and he was one of the best things about the Power Rangers, and I feel like he would absolutely nail this role.
    Let me know what you think guys! Obviously, only one of my picks is different from Bryan's, so it's nothing that special haha, and honestly, I never even thought of Abraham from The Walking Dead, but I love it! He was one of my favorite characters on that show, and I'd love to see him on the big screen.
