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!

Be sure to check out the Invisible Woman appreciation thread!
Fuck 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
My dream casting is Tom Hanks as Reed Richards.
Mr. Fantastic - Glenn Howerton
Human Torch - Bo Burnham
Invisible Woman - Taylor Schilling
The Thing - David Harbour
Namor - Daniel Dae Kim
Dr. Doom - Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
Reed- Matt Smith
Sue- Charlize Theron
Johnny- Joe Keery (Steve from Stranger Things) or maybe Colin Donnell
Ben- Michael Chiklis
Doom- Jean Claude Van Dame
Galactus: Tony Todd

Good suggestions so far, but you're all forgetting something.......
Reed- Chris O'Donnell
Susan- Chris(tina) Applegate
Johnny- Chris Wood
Ben- Chris(topher) Meloni
Dr. Doom- Chris Noth
Namor- Chris Pine
You don't fuck with the Ham(m). https://hips.hearstapps.com/cos.h-cd...-c8557a-de.jpg (Kinda NSFW so just linking)
Seriously, he'd be a great Reed. He can be funny, commanding, and if Mad Men showed anything, it's that he can cover the entirey of the "tortured psyche" range.
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.
Howard from big bang as mole man.....
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

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.
