How tall are they?

You mean compared to Robert Downey Jr.'s 5'9" frame playing a 6'1" Tony Stark? I think the MCU notes their heights as "WE DON'T CARE ABOUT SUCH PETTY THINGS'. Give or take an inch. (:

If Mr. Fantastic is taller than Thor, he might abandon the MCU, despite how perfect Marvel Studios is.

The Daily Telegraph/Daily Mail??

RUMOR: JENNIFER LAWRENCE JOINS ‘FANTASTIC FOUR’

Quote

So, this is a rather bizarre story but too interesting not to cover. Right now, Marvel Studios has started production on a variety of projects, such as Thor: Love and Thunder. They have been expanding beyond their usual Atlanta filming location, as Australia has been growing into a popular filming location. It looks like they will continue working there with another upcoming project, as according to The Daily Telegraph, Marvel Studios also plans to shoot the Fantastic Four film there. Not just that, as they also reveal that Jennifer Lawrence is already on her way there to film it.

 

It’s a bit of a strange surprise if you consider that Jon Watts is set to direct the upcoming film. Yet, he is still at work on the untitled Spider-Man 3 film, so it would be strange to start production so soon. We’ve reached out to Disney, but they have not yet responded on the validity of this rumor. Daily Mail also sourced The Daily Telegraph, where they explicitly state that she is involved in a Marvel project. It also states that she will arrive there in a month to start production on a series in the coming weeks.

 

So, even if the production will be in Australia but it is unlikely to start anytime soon. Jennifer Lawrence is quite a high-profile actress to join the franchise and the second former X-Men actress to join a Marvel Studios production. So, she won’t have a minor role and it would be easy to say that she might be playing Susan Storm, or better known as the Invisible Woman. We’ll see what the validity is to this story moving forward.

The real source of this lead.

Hollywood 2.0 expands! Jennifer Lawrence heading to Australia to film new Fantastic Four film - as a slew of Marvel movies shift Down Under

Quote

Australia has become the go-to destination for A-list stars and massive Hollywood film productions in the past year, amid the coronavirus pandemic.

 

The Tinseltown exodus Down Under continues next month, when Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence is expected to arrive to film the latest Fantastic Four film, according to The Daily Telegraph. 

 

The paper reports that the Marvel superhero film franchise is set to 'bed down' in Australia 'for the foreseeable future'. 

 

An alleged studio source told the paper: 'There is nowhere in the world where films can be shot in the way they can be here in Australia'. 

One problem: Fantastic Four hasn't even started any production work. So when you read the comments below, you notice some logical individual points this out.

You're right. The FF film doesn't even have a release date. It's being directed by Jon Watts...who is currently filming "Spider-Man 3" which won't be done till March. But then you have pre-production and Marvel doesn't announce this casting or, you know, the rest of the team! So let's be clear. There is an actress heading to Australia to quarantine for a film whose director hasn't even gotten to prep for? And no major announcement? Yeah, I'm going to call BS too. And the fact the first and only paper to report this is a UK tabloid isn't exactly a sign of confidence. Thank God...terrible actress and if she's Sue Storm, you might have found a worst actress than Jessica Alba to play her.

Based on the article coming from the international division of WE'VE GOT THIS COVERED ( :roflmao: ), how can Jennifer Lawrence be flying down to shoot scenes for Fantastic Four when the film hasn't even ramped up yet?

Jon Watts is literally still in the middle of working on Spider Man 3 in Atlanta and I doubt there's even a finished -script yet for FF or even a full treatment that's been presented to Marvel. Theres no chance this is right, this is the epitome of a click bait article.

Jennifer Laurence. Oh no. Anyone but her. 
I was hoping the Pike from Star Trek would be Reed.  I know he was in Immortals that didn’t work out. He looks the part. 
Or John Kraniski

Anson Mount is a good match for Reed. Shame they wasted Black Bolt and the whole Inhuman royal family but they may show back up in Ms Marvel so he could still be on the board.
