After the great news that at long last the Fantastic Four film rights are going to Disney, here is the thread for all the fan casting of the characters.
It may be a bit early for this, but I don't care I'm excited!

**** yeah, I've been waiting so long to do this.
1) Reed Richards/Jon Hamm: He's got the acting chops, the looks and even the... uh, "third leg"... What? Reed's canonically a Sex-Monster, it should be portrayed...
2) Sue Storm/Charlize Theron: Elegant, commanding, great actress and beautiful. This should be Classic Sue, but I'm in favor of giving her an Ultimate-esque background of being a biologist or something related.
3) Johnny Storm/Scott Eastwood: Handsome, big family name, good enough acting chops and the guy could use a jumpstart.
4) Ben Grim/Jeffrey Dean Morgan: Come on, don't tell me you never thought of this?
+
Victor Von Doom/Toby Stephens: Dunno if people have seen Black Sails, but while the whole cast is stellar, Stephens just... shines. He's a stage actor (only did Black Sails after seeing Six Feet Under) so he can bring the theatrical element Doom needs. Plus, his mother's Dame Maggie Smith, so there's your Cynthia in case they do a Doom solo.
On the off-chance they try and do the Ultimate F4, I'd go with:
1) Reed Richards: Matt Smith
2) Sue Storm: Ana De Armas
3) Johnny Storm: Ansel Egort
4) Ben Grimm: Sam Worthington
+
Victor Van Damme: Leonardo DiCaprio

You don't **** with the Ham(m). https://hips.hearstapps.com/cos.h-cd...-c8557a-de.jpg (Kinda NSFW so just linking) Originally Posted by Phoenixx9

It will be good to see a decent Galactus and his heralds.
I would like to see Strange's (Benedict Cumberbatch) participation.
I do not care much about the cast for the characters as long as we do not have an aberration like changing the ethnicity of a character.

Ben Grimm - David Harbour (1975) 6'2" NY popular because of stranger things with an everyman look - not opposed to having his face covered (I imagine that the Thing will be mo-cap) -believable as a former football player and military man
Reed Richards - Brad Cooper (1975) 6'1" PA lean physique not overly handsome or geeky looking relatively well known actor already vetted by Marvel but hasn't appeared in live-action, yet
Victor von Doom - Rodrigo Santoro (1975) 6'2" you might remember him as Xerxes from 300 (or you might not since he doesn't look anything like that in real life) he's an Italian, Portuguese, brazil mix that could pass for romani

I don't know if I could come up with anything as good but will think it over. I'll have to check out Toby Stephens Originally Posted by Techno_Knight

The Wizard/Bentley Wittman - to me, the character looks like F Murray Abraham. but I wanted to try something different. so I went with Naveen Andrews.
and
Chris Bauer as Trapster/Pete Petruski

Of the actors I know, the casting is good. Charlize would be perfect... but
age levels if they're going to canon, make Sue and Johnny a bit younger than Reed and Ben. I kind of prefer they keep that.
