Thought there may be some overlap between the F4 and Trek fandoms. I'm over the MCU overall, but as a life long F4 fan I might check this out if I hear its decent. Poster looks promising, dig the retro vibes and the team being presented as a family. Pascal seems like an odd pick for Reed Richards, but the rest of the main cast looks good. Can't be worse then the movies we've already gotten!

The rumors have been around for a while. Still, good to have it confirmed. Thats two potentially good movies Marvel have announced - Deadpool and F4 - back to back. Hopefully it’s a return to form. But it’s way too soon to say.

This seems fine, I guess. Pascal is the only one that I recongize by name, but that means nothing.

I feel that the studios thought process for casting Pascal must have been something along the lines of "Who's hot right now?" and "Who gives off Daddy vibes." Don't get me wrong I think he's a fine actor, its just so far he's kind of played similar roles in everything I've seen him in at least. I'm curious to see if he has the range.

I wonder what happened to Krasinski? I wasn't the biggest fan of him in the role either but he seemed like a shoe-in considering he already played the character.

It was interesting, even at the time, it seemed like everyone was talking about Krasinski as a cameo, and not necessarily a long-term plan. It's been a weird era for Marvel.

Wonder if he'll cameo again if we get the Council of Reeds on the big screen.

I completely agree. It's a weird casting choice for sure. Ebon Moss-Bachrach is a really cool pick for Ben Grimm though
