He doesn't need to be the smartest person in the world, just smart enough to tell Wanda how to immediately kill Blackbolt.And in no way can Pascal ever pull off being one of the smartest people in the world.

I’ve always wanted Reed Richards to sound like a bounty hunter from SWOther than asshat, I mean Pascal, I had no idea who any of these people are by name.
After looking them up, Vanessa Kirby is the only one that looks like a nice fit, but that's about it. Can't wait to see how plain they make her look as sexy women aren't allowed in the MCU anymore. And in no way can Pascal ever pull off being one of the smartest people in the world.
I have NO faith in this movie due to all the current trends. Even if they make the cast look and resemble the actual classic comic FF, if the Silver Surfer rumor is still true making him female I'm out by a mile and will NEVER EVER watch this garbage. Same goes for whatever abomination they are sure to turn Doom into.
And if true, putting this in the 60's is interesting but really doesn't work in a shared Universe that started the current year in 2008 with Iron Man. That only would've worked if they were doing a storyline with Annihilus and they got stuck in the Negative Zone or something. But they can't do that cause they already used the dumbass Quantum Realm crap in Ant-Man with Wasp being trapped there.
And worst of all, we'll never get to see the FF interact with the original Avengers team. With the REAL Cap or Iron Man, a proper Hulk or Thor or even the Guardians. Just the losers that are left in the current MCU no one gives aabout.
Maybe Johnny will have a fling with Echo.. Can't wait to see Sue lust after dad bod Namoooooor... The possibilites are endless!!
As far as I'm concerned, Disney, Bob Iger & Kevin Feige can FO. They destroyed the MCU beyond repair. They'd be better of using this as a starting off point for a reboot.
Yeah I'm still struggling to see Pedro as Reed, but the other casting choices seem fine to me. And Wandavision was one of the best MCU things in awhile so it's fairly encouraging to see that director involved.
But to be honest I have a hard time getting excited for any new F4 movie, and unlike others haven't been dying to see them in the MCU. Not to mention my general superhero fatigue right now...

Reed Richards always looked like Perry White to me back in my day.
Hey for Hollywood this qualifies as progress. I remember when Sean Connery was paired with Catherine Zeta-Jones in Entrapment. He was 69, she was 30 lol.
p.s. - My father and mother were 48 and 35 respectively when I was born (I was the last of 4 children), so I guess that explains why I'm this way.
If The Donald can bang someone 24 years younger, Reed Richards can handle a 13 year gap. At least he didn't ditch her when she hit 25.
That's an awesome skit. And so truthful.
Man, they really had perfect casting in 2005, just with terrible movies.
Reed Richard needs a long pencil head. Not a square head.

Don't really care about the casting. What FF needs is to finally get a great story/script
I don’t mind the casting, but FFS…don’t **** up the movie

Yep, just like with Captain Marvel - if there is any trope I truly hate its "hey remember the new guy!"
I can see the plot now. Victor bought the patent for the ass pounder 4000 and mass produces it. FF4 decides to stop it but the conflict is Sue actually likes the product.
But... you need actors that can also do the both the characters and story/script justice...
I agree with you both. We shouldn't get too hung up on the actors in my opinion since that is such a relatively small part of the whole. Having a good story that makes sense and is compelling is way more important. But based on what I know of the actors here they should be perfectly serviceable.
Personally, one of the biggest issues I've had with the previous FF movies is tone, however. And based on the poster that seems spot on here, which makes me excited and gives me hope. I didn't love Wandavision in terms of how it was all resolved, but the parts of that were throwbacks were really great in my opinion, and seeing an extension of that through the FF film could be excellent.
