    I hope they adapt the team well.

    I think it's just loungewear, I don't think it's their official FF suits.

    I'm just glad the media hasn't had backlash articles about the 4 characters being white.

    Yeah, the usual Youtube outrage channels are complaining Pedro is wrong for Reed since Pedro isn't white.

    He is white. Google his ancestry. I think he isn't great casting because he doesn't look much like the character, but I hope he proves me wrong like Evan Peters did. I think he might look more like the character if he's clean-shaven and they style his hair like the character has looked classically. Though I think he would be better as Victor. I wonder who they'll cast as H.E.R.B.I.E. I doubt they'll get a pro voice actor and would try someone more famous, so I would take Keegan-Michael Key, as he showed he has the talent with his role in Mario.

    Pedro is Chilean.

    And to the usual YouTube outrage channels that means not white.

    I’m not endorsing this view, just pointing out that reaction.

    There's a funny scene in the 1st episode of Ted that brings up how certain people didn't consider Italians white pre-WWII.

    Joseph Quinn is wrapping up one of the biggest shows of the last decade.
    Ebon Moss-Bachrach just go an Emmy for The Bear.

    Names don't guarantee quality, but this is a pretty big-name cast.
    Not really besides Pedro the average person will have no idea who they are it's basically no names I'm not saying it's a bad thing though.

    Kirby was in the Crown a lot of people know who she is.

    The Crown and Stranger Things are pretty popular and had lots of viewers. The Bear and EMB's performance have gotten a lot of critical acclaim and awards.

    I'd say that they're more well known than Tom Holland, Chadwick Boseman, or Chris Hemsworth when they were cast.

    Honestly, I prefer non-names in these roles. It lets the actual character come forward more. Like, Eternals was filled with stars, but that did not help the movie, either from a story or box office angle.
    Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!

    Latino come in many different races. The primary three groups are mestizo with indigenous and Spanish ancestry, people with Spanish ancestry and sometimes other places from Europe, and black African ancestry that can be just black but oftentimes with Spanish or Portuguese ancestry too. And he is of the second grouping.

    She was also in the two most recent Mission Impossible movies in a pretty decent sized role.
