With rights back to Marvel. Looks like the cast is complete and the FF movie will start pre production. Mixed feelings to be honest, the last one was awful. Hopefully now its back under the MCU banner it "should" be better despite the recent MCU TV shows and movies. This should open up a lot more characters, stories and material which they could not use before.

IMDB - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10676052/

Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic - Pedro Pascal
Sue Storm / Invisible Woman - Vanessa Kirby
Ben Grimm / Thing - Ebon Moss-Bachrach
Johnny Storm / Human Torch - Joseph Quinn

Should have stuck with Jim Halpert for Mr Fantastic as in Doctor Strange 2. Maybe even Emily Blunt as Sue Storm.

I really thought that at one point too. However allegedly it was a no go when one or both of them refused the roles for some reason. Blunt had multiple offers from Marvel in the past but she refused them all.

I had this same doubts when they were going to make GotG so as the saying goes "Sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe ****". I am sceptical but it depends if they actually put the same effort as their successes which is what i think is lacking with the TV shows and some of the recent movies. Simply overloading with CGI wont cut it, they have to come up and make good use of the material to make it worthwhile.

It can't be as bad as the one they made to keep the IP rights, right?

The 2000 ones hold a special place for the amount of cheese and having fun.

Exactly which is why they have not allow it to be part of the MCU. ie Morbius, Madam Webb and possibly Kraven etc. It has not been entirely bad ie Spiderverse movies have been excellent so no idea how they get these movies so wrong.

Yeap, its got all the hallmarks of yet another superhero flop (The Marvels, Madame Web, The Eternals etc) and a studio that thinks "people loved this IP decades ago so they'll come out of the woodwork to see this" but then gives the project to people with either no history (or a chequered one filled with flops and few hits) in big budget films to get it made and cast a lead actor that 1/3 of the potential fans may think of as extremely divisive (Pascal) vs John Krasinski who is almost universally loved.

None of this is making me think "Yeah, summer blockbuster that'll make a billion!" and help reverse the fortunes of either the MCU, Marvel, Disney or Superhero films in general.

To be fair Sony (Spiderman IP) churn out these flops like Venom, Madam Web , Morbius, Kraven (tbd) so hasn't been the same standard we would expect from MCU hence why they aren't recognised as canon. I do agree the latest set of MCU movies and shows have been a massive disappointment but they proven they can get it right when they have the right ideas, actors and writers in place. So I wouldn't categories all Superheros shows as the same. It is a difficult genre to get right and we have seen problems in the latest phase of movies/shows from them.

At this stage its a tad early to say if iFF i's going to be good or bad, we won't know until we get more.

Yes apparently some female version so its not Norrin Radd. I am sceptical but i have been wrong before, ie GotG so hope they can make it work otherwise it will be another forgettable movie like the recent offerings.
