World's Greatest Comic: The Fantastic Four Appreciation 2024

[CaptCleghorn]

The thing about him being descended from Reed and Sue is that it would mean he's descended from either Franklin or Valeria. Neither of them have ever been shown in any future to have kids. Even 2099's FF were clones and not descendants.

I don't like the idea of Kang being descended from Reed and Sue. It's a locked in future that seems a lot less bright than the FF usually has. I can get behind a Nathaniel Richards ancestry though. He had kids all over.

As to Franklin, his post Hyperstorm interpretation has him as very long lived as per Hickman's run and Waid's History of the Marvel Universe. The thought of him having children is very possible. Valeria's a blank slate. I'd imagine she's already started a genetic study to see what her offspring with various characters would be like and their power sets.

Franklin and Rachel Summers spawned Hyperstorm.

I recall a recent story where it may have indicated that Kang is 'somewhat' a descendent of Richards, like Great-great nephew over 1000s of years. So now

I want to see Hyperstorm (or 'a' Hyperstorm) battle Kang and/or Rama Tut.

Throw in the Sphinx who hasn't been seen in ages too!

Since Val doesn't have powers herself (though that is odd considering her Marvel Girl alternate that was around before she was born), if she has kids with a mutant or mutate they'd probably just inherit his powers.

From the design and logo it looks like they might be going for a very retro-futuristic approach which of course is very fitting.

Interesting. I wasn't sure how I would feel bout this casting, but I do love the style and art direction of this.

Very 60s looking design there - period piece?

Recent? I remember first seeing that in Avengers: The Terminatrix Agenda.

The artwork for this is pretty cool and I hope they do something similar for the official movie posters instead of the usual boring MCU posters.

I'm still iffy on Pedro as Reed but cast seems solid.

The only thing I hate about the period piece aspect is it's like they're doubling-down on the FF being "old school" or "retro" and will have to adjust a lot to make that work and how they relate to the present-day. I dunno, it just feels iffy to me.

But hey, Herbie !

Pretty much my thoughts as well. Wasn’t feeling Pedro for Reed (although I guess it’s better than Krasinki) and I think the out of time thing has been done enough already but I’m hoping the execution will prove me wrong.

Ebon Moss Bachrach, a jewish actor, to play Ben?! NOICE! Bonus points for blue eyes. Vanessa Kirby as Sue is just perfect. Don't know anything about Joseph Quinn. I've only seen Pascal in TLOU and he played the distant yet obviously caring dad really well. With some tweaks I think he'll do great.

Plus he does the bro-ship really well in TLOU means him and Ben are gonna be great, but I just feel he's so overexposed people will see Pedro and not Reed.
