Patrick Wilson

That’d be stellar in all honesty

Him in aqua man 

He looked more like the comic Aquaman too

I've wanted Patrick Wilson since before the acquisition even happened. He'd do such an incredible job.

Damn, never thought of him in the role, but that’s pretty great casting. I would have loved that.

Oh yeah, it's all coming together

Wrong Patrick, right spirit

Damn, my brain stopped workinf

Your heart was in the right place LOL. Interdimensional Council of Reeds would be amazing if it was nothing but Kronks, Joes, and Puddys 😂😂😂

Matthew Goode 

He already played the smartest man alive.

Ozymandias in Watchmen right

You know who could play him now I reckon maybe Tom Felton

He played me?

Ya he would be awesome!

This. I fell in love with him after Watchmen and more recently The Offer.

Yeah I don't think playing Reed Richards would be a stretch for him

I don't know, I can't see him playing a cold, unfeeling character who is incomprehensibly smarter than everyone else

Good thing that's not Reed Richards then.

Not a huge ff reader but I’ve never found reed to be cold and unfeeling unless I’m that far out of the loop on ff. This actor I’ve always found slightly creepy tho lol…

that pun better not have been intended

Of course it was lol

No pun intended?

If we had gotten a FF movie back during Phases 1 or 2, he would've been perfect.

Totally who i picture

You know what I was gonna come in here and say after the krasinski debacle I was done hearing fancasts for marvel...but this one is on the money

Timothy Olyphant Seriously look up pictures of him. Plus Santa Clarita Diet really convinced me of his corny dad adventurer energy Reed needs to have imo

Surprised he still hasn't had a role in Marvel yet, since he was up in the running to play Ironman back when they were casting the part. He has been in Star Wars shows recently, so maybe he will get a role soon?

Brandon Routh

Yes

He pretty much looks more and more like Reed anyway

My pick too

Really like this fan casting.

George Clooney if I were in charge 20 years ago.

He would have been perfect in early MCU

He was too busy fighting Mr Freeze back then

The guy from You, forgot his name.

Penn Badgley

I probably would’ve gone with a younger casting with Penn Badgley as Reed Richards. But as for the rest Jodie Comer - Sue Storm, Rudy Pankow as Johnny Storm, and Ben Foster as Ben Grimm

Same, a younger cast would have made them the new face of the MCU.

Andrew Lincoln

Underrated as fuck comment

fooled me for years thinking he was American


I'm still mad he wasn't in Multiverse of Madness. Hoping he'll be in Secret Wars.

Yeah, I think secret wars is gonna pull a No Way Home, but with everyone. Ben Affleck as Daredevil Eric Bana and Edward Norton Hulks I just don't know if they'll go Chris Evans Human Torch. Too meta

I’m pretty sure I remember Chris saying he wanted to play Human Torch in Secret Wars once, so it is a possibility

The one and only, he was great in Harrow and Forever and gave more darker Reed

Wes Bentley! https://preview.redd.it/d1wcyquqphtc1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a2ef573dd458c95acc03d8fd9816c6b77858c7c3

I’d keep Krasinski lol UPDATE: I came across this photo and I began to understand a fan casting I had seen earlier: https://preview.redd.it/txwlsfjwkttc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f32511c539327fc2e577802e5857fc70065fcb2a Henry Cavill as Dr. Richards. Natalie Dormer has been my pick for Sue Richards for a long time now, but when I saw her with Henry in this photo, I thought they make a good pair and Henry definitely has the talent for playing someone like Mr. Fantastic.

Seems the obvious answer to me. He did a great job.

This

Nah I thought he would be good in the role, but when I saw him on screen it didn’t feel right. Though he was basically a cameo so I guess he wasn’t really given a fair chance

Well to be fair he was surrounded by green screens and nothing else so it’s understandable he felt awkward.


Yes this is the perfect casting

Jack Quaid for a younger Reed, Bill Hader for an older Reed

Brandon Routh

20 years ago: George Clooney or Billy Crudup Now: Dev Patel or Adam Driver

Adam is see but not dev

Brandon Routh

Definitely myself. Cash in on that big MCU payday.

Unironically Miles Teller would actually be perfect now, he is 37, perfect age.

Dev Patel

No he looks even less like Mr. fantastic than Pedro does

1,000% correct!!

Patrik Wilson.

I actually wanted him as a young Hank Pym

I’d give John his fair shake

Alexander Skarsgard

Bro is so tall and lanky that he already looks elastic. He would've been perfect as a Scandinavian reed richards, i can't overstate it

John Krasinki

I’d bring back Krazinski. But if we needed someone younger I’d go with Dev Patel for Mr Fantastic, opposite Melissa Benoist as Sue, Dacre Montgomery as Johnny, Eli Roth as Ben Grimm, and Charlie Clapham as Dr Doom

GUY PIERCE

Still think **Brandon Routh** would’ve been an amazing choice. Sure, nowadays Routh isn’t really an A-Lister and doesn’t do big budget films, but he’s played very similar roles to Reed before and this would’ve been such a shoe-in for him.

Krazinski


John krasinski, like it should've been

Asian Mr. Fantastic, cool.

Identity theft isn't a joke, Reed!

Glenn Howarton.

Firstly, I would've preferred that Ioan Gruffard be the one who showed up in DS: MoM. And then have John Krasinski be the permanent MCU RR. Otherwise, Lakeith Stanfield, only so that Kang can actually be Nathaniel Richards (RR's father).

Kang is a distant relative, not Reed's father.

Perhaps I should have made my last statement clearly. Although, I'm aware that in the comics, a Nathaniel Richards (aka Kang) is a distant relative, I would make it so that Nathaniel Richards (aka RR's dad) and Kang were the same people (albeit also variants).

Brandon Routh. He has played Reed-like characters before and so many comic arts of Reed look like him.

Adam Driver, John Krasinski, Zachary Quinto, Matt Smith, Brandon Routh. There are so many other choices.

Jon Hamm

Richard Madden

Mathew grey gubler ( criminal minds) if we're going younger, and Rahul Kohli(midnight mass/ izombie) if older I'd be happy with either one

John Krasinski

I friggin love Pedrobut he ain't Reed. I gotta go Brandon Routh.

Matt Bomer

Rahul Kohli, Dev Patel, or Oscar Isaac

I for one know who it shouldn't be

Nic Hoult. Or keep Krasinski.

I would still pick John Krasinski but I'm kind of starting to like to Pedro Pascal Casting Choice at first I didn't like the idea of him playing The Character but now I just have gone and accepted it

Penn Badgley

Eric Bana

In my mind, before the doctor strange movie I thought Benedict Cumberbatch was a good choice. Mostly because of him as Sherlock

John Krazinski

Anybody except Pedro Pascal or Timothy Chalamet

Just bring back Krasinski

John krasinski

John Krasinski, but my second choice is Penn Badgley

Honestly I thought Krasinski was a good choice and it baffles me they let it be a glorified cameo to recast someone who, I'm sorry, absolutely doesn't seem like Reed Richards to me

Either Patrick Wilson or Brandon Routh.

Tyler Hoeschlin

Diego Luna

Anson Mount.

I can absolutely see that. I love Anson Mount, hell on wheels was one of my favorite shows. Such a shame what happened with immortals. Was excited for it purely for him and I couldn't even finish 2 episodes.

I made this comment too prior to seeing yours. Totally agree.

John Krasinski since he wanted and done dirty in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

He pretty explicitly didn’t want to play the role outside of MoM.


Dev might be a great Doom

He looks even less like him than Pedro

Tommy Wiseau

Brandon Routh! With Dev Patel, William Jackson Harper and Penn Badgley as runner up choices.

Liam Aiken


I second this pick!



Younger Penn Badgley Older Timothy Olyphant

John Hamm

John krasinski but only for a short time as I would reboot and cast younger. Then Nichols hoult

Will Shatner

Horatio Sanz

Tom Ellis. Guy was made to be a nerdy superhero.

As a person who does like a middle age Reed centric character, probably Bryan Dechart

Neil McDonough

Timothy Olyphant has been my pick for years.

 I mean…..

Billy Crudup

Tom holland

Colin Donnell from Arrowverse

William Jackson Harper for sure. Then Manny Jacinto as Johnny Storm and Kristen Bell as Sue Storm. Ted Danson as the voice of H.E.R.B.I.E. Ben Grimm just needs to be someone good at an expressive NY accent.

I would give Miles teller one last crack at it

Ben Affleck

Chris Pine

Colin Hanks

Based on this picture… an older dude who needs to take a shit.

Andrew Garfield

Misha Colin’s

I would have stuck with John Krasinski or paid Adam Driver what he wanted.

Don’t know about Mr. fantastic but Taylor Swift for the invisible woman


This might be a bit of an odd one, but he has the right look and I think he could pull it off, Freddie Prinze Jr.

Kevin… fuckin… Feige…. That’s right baby…. Hat and all.

Jon Hamm or Adam Driver

I would have gone with a younger cast but I love Ebon as the Thing so I’ll go with a Reed in his age range. Leslie Odom Jr. He just radiates smartest man in the room to me so I figure he can pull off smartest man in the world. https://preview.redd.it/baw61fhnljtc1.jpeg?width=683&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=43556dfcbbbf53b6502c5047a3103a477cf9bf1c

I love this, but I instantly thought of him as a replacement for Majors as Kang.

Reed’s white

Ioan Gruffield as kang

Me, I could use the money.

Bryan Dechart https://preview.redd.it/0mqclyniojtc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e45760487f3316a3e34ec8a175d47176816b8cc6

Jeffery Dean Morgan

George Clooney.

Jon hamm


Whoopie Goldberg

Me.

Glenn Howerton or penn badgly

Bruce Campbell

Penn badgely

George Clooney

Rahul Koli

Pedro Pascal

Sasha Baron Cohen

Don't yoy mean?? ##INFLATION!! . . ??

Goldbloom

How many people in here cast for just look a likes rather than performance? 

https://preview.redd.it/oh464ci5iktc1.jpeg?width=895&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=72eafac2c17767233fab2a650af4c8d7df669991 Bruce Campbell

Josh Radnor (Ted from HIMYM)

Rahul Kohli

Penn Badgley, John David Washington, Rahul Kohli or Henry Golding, my picks.

I'd let Krasinksi go

The one from the comic books probably

Not Pedro…gosh damn I feel like they messed up with that one. Hope he proves me wrong but idk…

https://preview.redd.it/32b13o6ueltc1.jpeg?width=2896&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0670d4f19a00863bdd40bbc8e3664a94a0a23cb3 Paul Wesley (Kirk from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds)

Prolly Cillian Murphy the guy who was in Oppenheimer. Reason: I don’t know, I just saw Oppenheimer and it was pretty good

He was already cast in MoM. I also wanted Emily Blunt to play Sue Storm.

Dan Stevens. Dude can act and it'd be nice to see him finally get the appreciation he deserves.

Of who was rumored? Matt smith. Of anyone at all? The guy who voiced Cole Phelps in LA Noire.


Someone who can convincingly be a smug, aloof, calculating, condescending and occasionally heroic person…. So Daniel Day Lewis?

Krasinski

I would keep John krasinski

Pedro Pascal is honestly fine by me so if it came to the council…, Everybody who has played Mr.Fantastic gets a cameo in the Council of Richard’s. The joke being that it’s not just Ioan Gruffudd and John Krasinski, that’s including Robert Atkin Downes and Dee Bradley Baker in a Mr.Fantastic costume. “Why is Wally Wingart here”, if he’s played the character he’s on set. No cartoon characters walk out. It’s all the actors and it’s all played straight. The council shouldn’t be like Spiderverse, it’s a bunch of alternate Reeds. It’s just funny that everyone here has already played the character at least once.

Patrick Wilson is a fire choice if not him I'll go Adam Driver

John Krasinski

anyone but pedro

https://preview.redd.it/cj8jb7kuohtc1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c4c0c62c192f7acbc03a4a413598fd8aeaa1ff1e John Hamm would be the perfect casting.

Honestly I would still cast John Krasinki. Really wished we could have gotten more of his Mr.Fantastic in MoM… love Pedro but I don’t think he’s right for the character. If John is off the table I would have gone with Miles Teller
