Cast them. And come up with an origin story that would make it kino.
The Fantastic 4 were highly praised and loved amongst the people during the 70s. They gained a huge fanbase comparable to Cap's over the course of 4 years of activity, during which they collaborated with Hank Pym, S.H.I.E.L.D., etc.
One day they get stuck in the Quantum Realm somehow and then after a while Reed manages to find a way to escape. The team finds itself during the 2000s on Earth-X.
Earth-X is the parallel Earth Cap went to, to marry Peggy Carter. Cap managed to save mutants from the genocide enacted by Sebastian Shaw in 1945 that Wolverine from main continuity told him about during World War II. He then tried to live a paceful life but he could not quit helping others for good, so he made himself a new superhero identity.
Because of this, Earth-X is full of mutants, unlike main MCU Earth where 99% of them died. This led to the creation of the X-Men, the Brotherhood and even different nations, different events, different superheroes (X-Men are this Earth's Avengers, they went through Apocalypse, Dark Phoenix and all of that already) and a different set of people alive during the 2000s.
The Fantastic 4 collaborate with the heroes of Earth-X for a couple more years, until Peggy Carter dies (earlier then her main Earth counterpart) and Captain America asks Reed for a way to return to main Earth in the year 2023, and Reed links the two Earths so that 2003 Earth-X is linked to 2023 Earth-A, Dragon Ball Z Future Trunks style.
The Fantastic 4 finally get back home after 3-ish years for them, 50 years for the people of main Earth.
>all white people LOL. unrealistic, change one of them to black people immediately.
Hunter Mitchell
What's with people's obsession with Keanu Reeves? He's good actor and The Matrix and John Wick are cool movies, but I just don't understand the wank surrounding him.
John Rodriguez
It is time for Spickino. All 4 for a diverse and inclusive Mexican-American family.
Nathan Hill
Where should Latveria be? Earth-X or Earth-A?
Jayden Gonzalez
>Reed Owen Wilson >Thing John Cena >Johnny Ryan Gosling >Sue Jennifer Lopez
Plot: they fly into space and get cosmic radiation.
Connor Price
Back in the day it was because Keanu was a cool guy and had a hard life. Now it's normalfags who know him from E3
Hudson Perry
well, for starters, they all should be black. it's 2019 ffs
whoever they cast it's likely that only the human torch will have a career after it.
Hunter Clark
>during the 70s
STOP SETTING THE FANTASTIC FOUR IN THE PAST
Lincoln Brown
Your idea for plot is pretty good desu, but here's a different cast (though, Harbour would make a great Thing if he wasn't already playing Russian Captain America in Black Widow)
Thing: Brian Baumgartner
Reed: John Krasinski
Johnny: Tom Felton
Sue: Emily Blunt
BONUS: Rainn Wilson as Dr. Doom
Luis Sullivan
well duh, Johnny's the only one with personality on the team
>While promotingJohn Wick3in a promo with BuzzFeed from last month, the 54-year-old Canadian action star is asked: "If you could choose any superhero or villain to play in the Marvel or DC comics universe,who would it be and why?" >"I don't know," Keanu Reeves says. "When I was a kid, I always wanted to play Wolverine. So Wolverine."
>Back inDecember of 2018also saw Keanu Reeves asked if he would rather play Batman or Wolverine, with Reeves replying the latter. >"Of the two, I’d love to play Wolverine," Reeves said, adding that Wolvie would be the only comic book role he would consider. "I don’t have another [role I would rather play], to be candid."
Aaron Brooks
>Not related to Stark or Stark industries Not gonna happen
Nathan Cox
Joe Rogan as Hank Mccoy, Beast.
Julian Flores
Really fucking tired of the Zac Efron cast. Dude is a has-been, the fuck is he gonna be in the MCU for? It doesn't fit. And for the retards claiming they will change the races of their titular characters, there's absolutely no chance it will happen. They want Ben Grimm to be Jewish and they won't repeat the same shit from F4ntastic.
Easton Martin
>The Fantastic 4 were highly praised and loved amongst the people during the 70s.
If superheroes had been around since the 70s then the ongoing "Nowadays superheroes are around and it's weird" mentality the characters are carrying would feel retroactively wrong.
Daniel Nelson
I'll take Efron as Johnny Storm. probably the second most well cast pick in the MCU behind Downey as Stark. Good Job OP.
Joseph Phillips
Best casting right there.
Mason Hernandez
this is supposed to be a family of superheroes not criminals.
Parker Allen
Captain America was a huge hero figure. Don't you think that he would inspire people to be like him? Also Hank Pym was "retconned" into being active during the 70/80s or so. It would work very well if it was only the Fantastic Four. It wouldn't even need to be a retcon, just a "you didn't know this already but the FF are to the 70s what Captain America was to the 40s and Tony Stark to the 2010s"
Logan Bell
> Owen Wilson and Jennifer Lopez Absolutely kino choice but dye the former's hair
> another origin story A big no no. The FF have shit origins and normies got tired of it already. We desperately need an experienced and active team. To make them young automatically dooms them to be shit. They should go and do the same thing Into the Spiderverse did and make a parody out of their origins, taking into account that the public is tired of hearing their story over and over.
Easton James
strangely i could see this
Thomas Carter
The perfect Johnny Storm casting already happened. He was more natural in the role than as Cap
He is not a good actor. The only character in the MCU that I think he could actually pull off is the Silver Surfer
Eli Fisher
what are they playing?
Angel Miller
We've already had Sue Spic, now she's gotta be an oriental? You are aware Sue is one of the most white-bread WASP characters right?
Aaron Sullivan
Why is Reed an Asian? Fuck this shit.
Bentley Moore
Nikolaj Coster Waldu as Dr. DOOM
Cooper Martinez
Except the whole "going bald and desperately trying to hide it" part
Leo Powell
That's the joke. She goes from being adopted into an ethnic family in the last adaptation to being a minority from the get go.
Isaac Nguyen
He's been in the back of the public's mind for some time but is riding a second wind now which doesn't happen often enough for people who emotionally go through some heavy stuff but don't lose the spark of passion. It's comfy to see this guy who just loves motorbikes and acting get opportunities.
>gravy train >Had to give her movie less than $100 million dollar budget because they know it's going to bomb She's gone DCuck just like Affleck, Cavill, Irons, Simmons, Fishburne, Smith, Adams, and everyone else with a brain
Brandon Foster
I just want council of Reeds so Ioan Gruffudd can play a leader of the council. Involving the council would give an Into the Spiderverse charisma to it, admit that there's been a fair few whacks at covering the family and how different styles cause different stories without needing a rehash of who's who.
I'm torn between him or Miles Teller as The Maker.
John Lopez
stop trying to make FF happen
it ain't gonna happen
Andrew Long
No one because MCU is shit. Let me guess, Tony Stark's heroic sacrifice inspired Reed to get into science?
Cooper Cox
Damn honestly has potential as kino. I feel that they will do something close to this for both FF and mutants to be introduced. They should hire you
Matthew King
>cry for diversity >make everything black
I hate this so much.
Luis James
What are you talking about? They literally announced it at SDCC
Thank you. Honestly I think they will come up with something like my story. Having both the X-Men and F4 as experienced heroes from another Earth will give them the respect they deserve and also they can use the fact that so many movies about them have been made to their advantage. The public knows too well their stories, enemies and themes. This way the MCU can go down his own path for them and actually move forward instead of losing time to introduce them again
Jacob Edwards
I actually like this casting
Gabriel Turner
>James Franco as Dr Doom >Jonah Hill as the Thing >Seth Rogen as MIster Fantastic >Danny McBride the Human Torch >Michael Cera the Invisible Woman >Craig Robinson Namor the Submariner >Jay Baruchel Galactus >David Krumholtz Molecule Man >Channing Tatum Jennifer Walters >Christmas 2022 >Directed by Uwe Boll
Dominic Cook
Here's my insane idea for an FF origin, now stay with me here
They're four astronauts, and they're going on a mission into space when they just happen to be bombarded with some crazy cosmic rays. But get this, the rays actually give them powers. So they decide to become a superhero team.
I'm not sure if audiences will accept such a radical direction, that doesn't involve retcons, time travel, or Tony Stark, but I think it'd be worth a try.
Jaxson Barnes
>The movie opens in medias res, with them reappering after years while defeating some monster (Mole Man's or Namor's) >News broadcasting in which they sum up their origins >A scene in the graveyard where they stand in front of Tony's tomb, Ben bitterly comments that they've been away for too much >Flashback for the rest of the movie >The travel in space was commisioned by SHIELD >Antagonist is the Red Ghost, who was the fifth man of the crew (since they seem to wanting FF's first enemy gaining powers along with them, as we saw with the two versions of Doom) >Reed and company test their powers with the help of Fury, who illustrates them the Avengers Project >Ben and Johnny are the only ones interested, Reed and Sue don't see themselves as warriors >The Red Ghost finds a fragment of the spaceship imbued with cosmic radiations and uses it to create not just three but an army of supermonkeys >Siege on the helicarrier ensues >The four fight together for the first time
Matthew James
jesus fucking christ I'm okay with the non stop MCU shit we have to put up with but then you fucks go a step further with this shit. Nobody gives a fuck about hollywood celebrities stop shoving it down Yea Forumss throat. Go back to Yea Forums if you wanna talk about actors
Anthony Jackson
I think it's a combination of him being a cool badass both in real life and on the screen as well as him just being a really nice guy.
Jeremiah King
What?
Chase Clark
boring, and it would make FF redundant
see
Brayden Mitchell
If you dye Owens hair, wouldn’t he be Luke Wilson?
Ethan Ortiz
If you don't think that the FF is gonna be a private spaceflight company as a direct reference to Space X, then you're retarded
Sebastian Campbell
This is completely fine, just dont let this happen in 2023, they need to be in their prime already. Make it happen off-screen, in the past or in some alternate reality
Adam Morris
too bad David is already Red Guardian, such a waste
Luis Robinson
>Except the whole "going bald and desperately trying to hide it" part take it back
Samuel Stewart
>what is hair implant surgery
Gavin King
I like the idea of the team operating in 60s/70s but I would make them unknowns. Their accident was caused due by Doom (who was a friend do Reed) who did not listen to reed and through his own ego changed parameters on whatever science device gave them powers. Reed and the other three at powers, doom does not. Reed and Doom find out that their think tank was funded by SHIELD and was another attempt at creating new super soldiers - contrary to what reed was told.
They collaborate with SHIELD for a few years and reed learns that it was doom who fucked with device that caused them powers. Eventually doom gets powers throughout sorcery/tech mix of some sort. They battle and doom send the 4 to the negative zone (where their powers originated from).
They spend Days in the negative zone fighting the natives (annihilus and his minions). They find a way out but end up in 20XX.
The film would follow the crew in the negative zone with flashbacks to their origin.
