Fantastic 4 - Bad Casting

Just watched it on Disney, did anyone else think the casting wasn’t great.

I feel like they cast the 4 most trendiest actors about.

The 3 male leads only have a passing resemblance to their comic counterparts and ol’Vanessa Kirby’s face whilst clearly beautiful appears to have had work done which I find distracting!

Also on an unrelated note, if he is such a genius why’s he spend all movie and a large portion of the world’s resources only to push him into a hole!

Yeah in real life Ebon Moss-Bachrach looks nothing like a large rock monster changed via cosmic rays. They clearly didn’t even try, worst movie ever.

And Joseph Quinn wouldn't be that good when set on fire. SMH.

Thank god, Pedro is an actual elastic man irl tho

I thought the cast itself was pretty solid, the acting was very good.

The only thing that kinda took me out of it was Pedro’s mustache. It’s hard to see Reed instead of Pedro, I wish they’d gone for a full beard over just the mustache.

I'm fine with how he looks, but [this would've been cool too](https://preview.redd.it/you-must-be-so-blind-to-not-see-how-pedro-pascal-resembles-v0-hzi3n2t7wehe1.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=47d739aa569166b8068f7c66926a895ee5a0be5c)

Yeah clean shaven would work well too

Vanessa Kirby hasn't had work done. She was pregnant during filming so her face was changing a touch.

I wasn't sold on Pedro Pascal as the smartest man, while I love him as an everyman against the odds. But the other three were great.

Correction: Kirby was pregnant during the filming of Avengers: Doomsday, not during the filming of The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

And I don't see it being a problem, because being pregnant wasn't problem for Scarlett Johansson either when she was filming Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Why are 90% of the posts here lately low effort garbage?

I thought casting was amazing even Pedro as Reed felt like him, but with that mustache he looked too much Pascal and not even Richards, not sure why he didn't shave it clean or grow a full beard it was distracting

Me too!

I completely disagree. End of story

Nah.

Marvel is know for their casting. You could have subpar movies like Thor The Dark World or Iron Man 3 that were successful just because people liked the casting.

It does seem like the perception of this film is that the casting is not in the same tier of greatness. Dont' see people excited for FF2 or their roles in Doomsday. Maybe it's just the perception of the MCU is down, but this seems like something else.

Does seem like the two biggest names Marvel has casted (at the time of their casting) was Pascal and Larson.

The casting was alright

I agree with you to an extent. Pedro is the only one really trending. I didn't like his casting. The others are okay. I have no relationships with their characters yet. They need more movies (if they get them).
