John & Emily are perfect for the roles. They’re great actors, look like the characters and John played Reed Richards very well. Plus they’re naturally chemistry would make their relationship much more believable. Plus the F4 are all about family and A Quiet Place is all about family. They showed they can kill roles in a movie where family is a central theme.
