I've seen so many people codemning Pedro's casting based soley on the fact that John Krasinski didn't get the role. Some are even claiming that Kevin Feige refuses to cast John. Which I find hilarious since John Krasinski has gone on record about how he doesn't wanna commit to a multipicture deal. He's a very busy actor and director. If I'm not mistaken he was so busy they had to film him and the other Illuminati cast members seperately in Multiverse of Madness.

They did white Richard’s and it DID work. Nobody was complaining about Miles or Ioan. FF2015 sucked because there was no heart in it and there was a lot of changes in that one. FF2005 is good for its time, it was well casted, script was okay. It wasn’t perfect but it was enjoyable. But my point being, Reed’s casting was NEVER the issue. So to say “they did white Richard’s and it didn’t work” is simply false. They did FF and it did work to an extent in 2005 seeing as how they greenlit a sequel, and didn’t work in 2015.

Neve Campbell doesn't look like Raven from Twisted Metal but she played the character really well. The only time I'm picking with looks is when it involves casting for Scooby-Doo. That casting back in 2002 and 2004 was top notch. Other than that, if you can play a character you're casted for, I don't care what you look like.

Do you know how many times I've seen it happen? People complain about the casting of a beloved character, only for the chosen actor to utterly excel in the role. Just look at Michael Keaton as Batman, Robert Pattinson as Batman, Heath Ledger as The Joker, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Daniel Craig as James Bond, and so on. That's why I've learned to give it time and not jump to conclusions.

I'm sold on 3/4 of this casting, I'm sorry but Pedro Pascal is a far better "Doom" then he a fit for "Reed" I understand John Krasinski probably didn't want to commit to the contract, however Pascal doesn't stand out as Reed and seeing the art, I'm still not sold. Love that there is going to be a 60's vibe, origin for the Four though I'll be interested to see how they rie this into the MCU without anyone ever mentioning them, maybe there's like a government cover up of the heroes origin?

@@Bobbybillybillbob idk I picture someone like Cillian Murphy for Doom or someone with real intensity. I feel like there would be so many better choices over Pedro for Doom as opposed to Reed, whereas with Reed, any handsome leading actor in his 30s-40s would do. I think people are overthinking Reed as a character. This to me is like Chris Evans as Cap - everyone doubted it til they saw him in action.

My crack research team shows a full 13 year age gap between Pascal and Kirby, not 12 plus a few months. This corresponds to Pedro entering college the same year Kirby enters kindergarten. Also, the average marriage age gap is 2-4 years depending on the country or methodology used, so you and Rob's parents age gap is definitely not within the statistically normal range. Otherwise they are great actors, but while this is no Michael Douglas-Catherine Zeta-Jones situation, it is not casting that reflects a statistically normal age gap. The question is whether Marvel was scared to cast a woman in their early to mid-40s to pair with Pascal.

I feel like he doesnt look like him because the shape of his face. Mr fantastic has a long frame and face, where as Pedro has a naturally rounder face compared to the comic. This coming from an artist perspective mind you just stating what I see. His ethnicity, age, or acting doesnt matter or effect the choice its just his actual silhouette of the characters dont match. Pedro's face is rounder like a Charles Barkley, but he needs more of a Kevin Garnet type of face and frame (not saying the same height) in my opinion. But I'd still give the movie a chance and hope it does well.

I can see this angle but that can easily be fixed with the framing of his haircut, less facial hair, and some weight loss.

@@AP-pk6mk that would help alot actually. Though I do think his natural bone structure may just be more squat similar to Tom Holand . (meaning like a lack of vertically stretched features in the face. Like comparing Tom Holand to Andrew Garfield face for example, maybe even Tobey Mcguire too has more of an oblong face aswell )
@AP-pk6mk8 ай бұрын
@@CoreyArt I don't disagree. He has a square face. I think if you look up "Pedro pascal no beard" you'll see a couple of photos of him with the high and tight haircut and more sunken in cheeks, it gives his face a longer look for sure. I've even seen some comic artists give Reed a squarish head but gave him a bigger forehead to compensate (Marvel Adventures Fantastic Four issue #27). All in all, I think he can pull off Reed Richards.

I love Pedro Pascal. Watch him in everything he does. However he just doesn’t seem like the world’s smartest man. Even if I look at a more “serious” role like Last of Us, or the “smartass” in WW82, just doesn’t match with Reed.

Reed Richard typically has a longer skinnier face. I don't have any problems with the casting. In fact I'm pretty glad it's predo pascal. But he really doesn't look like a typical Reed Richard's.

Dont care about the look or shape of head , or age. I'll keep an open mind on Pedro, after Heath Ledger Joker , every good actor deserves a chance. I can see an issue in that he's already been in GoT, Star Wars, LoU, so maybe some Pedro-fatigue... The rest of the cast seems solid choices, and the casting by Marvel, Sara, has been spot on so i think we should give it a chance
