So far no one has figured that one out. From what I understand Disney dropped that aspect of Ms. Marvel in her TV show as well. That seems like the LEAST goofy thing about Ms. Marvel they could have dropped for the series. thegiftedone45 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sincerely don’t understand what else is goofy about Kamala Khan besides her comic book embiggen powers. Other than that she’s a Pakistani-American teenage girl who lives in New Jersey and is a Captain Marvel superfan. Mystafo and jimjum12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I was actually thinking about star portal girl from DS 2...my mistake, as Kamala is less goofy than her. Apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could accept actual adopted parents who happened to be gay...if it were both now THAT would be sumpthin!

Bosco685 Posted April 23, 2023 Author Share Posted April 23, 2023 Quote One name that has long been part of the conversation is Disney alum and Oscar-nominated actor Adam Driver. Now, a new rumor provided an update on Marvel Studios' intentions in casting the Star Wars sequel trilogy star. Is Adam Driver Mr. Fantastic? Update (4/22): Insider Jeff Sneider corroborated the report that Adam Driver is in talks for Marvel Studios' Fantastic Four movie, stating on The Hot Mic podcast that he's heard that the studio has offered the 39-year-old actor the role of Reed Richards. While other actors, including Penn Badgley and Andor's Diego Luna, were also rumored to play the Fantastic Four lead, the fact that Driver is reportedly "in final talks" points toward him as the front-runner.

Gatsby77 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) Honestly, the casting of Reed Richards is the least of my concerns re. an FF movie. And...It's not like Ioan Gruffudd or Miles Teller were bad (although Teller was arguably too young). The role calls for portraying intelligence and gravitas - that's it. The challenge with an FF film is nearly every other aspect of the team is goofy. I was excited for the 2015 film because the trailer promised its leaning into the body horror aspects in a serious manner - only for the film to entirely ditch that tone in ~15 minutes. The issue, 100%, was the writing - not the cast. Edited April 23, 2023 by Gatsby77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@therealsilvermane Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I’ll go ahead and say it. I think one reason Adam Driver keeps his hair long is because he has a very long face. Long hair balances out a long face. So if he is the next Mr.Fantastic, will he keep the long hair or get the comic book accurate haircut, thus making said long face more pronounced? Or is said long face part of a reason why Marvel is interested in casting Driver as a character whose physical super power is making himself long?

rexinnih Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Sounds like it can be good casting but it is the Fantastic Four and he's just one of the team. Let's see how it all goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No man, it is his ears, his ears are huge and sit out way far from his head. He uses his hair to help cover that up. alexgross.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) Maxing out the humor throttle to the point of full blown satire isn't the right approach for every film, either. theCapraAegagrus, Bosco685, Mr Sneeze and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
