Yeah, even though he's made some questionable role choices, I really liked his and Nick Cage's chemistry in Unbearable weight of massive talent. I just don't see him as Reed Richards though, he doesn't quite have the physique I associate with him.

That's who I wanted for Captain marvel. Too late anyway I gave up watching any more of Disneys super hero schlock.

So they can trade one controversy in majors to another? Shia is on a long road to rehabilitating his image. Id rather be play an anti hero

I’m worried about this. He is going to have to act very wooden for the role which will give viewers the impression that he’s phoning it in. It’s hard to pull off a good Reed Richards because of just how plain and nerdy the character truly is.

Yes, we already saw this in a few roles. When he has to play something serious it just feels like he is constraining his natural personality inside. For TLOU it was fine since the character was traumatized, so put-on containment worked, but I don't see him knowing how to act like he is naturally Reed, meaning without seeming wooden or like he always has his guard up.

Seems a little old. I was thinking 35ish for whoever they cast

Right now Marvel/Disney seems to have changed their casting to more popular talents over newer talents. Much like their movie formula that’s currently causing them fatigue issues, it reeks of less risk-taking and being way more safe with their choices.
Quite a few recent marvel castings have been 35+ in age or older for roles that they will need to upkeep for 10-15 years or more. Nothing wrong with this on paper, but for example when a character is supposed to be in their 20s and your actor is already 35+, at that point it becomes a game of ‘tricking the audience into believing this person is in their 20s’ with makeup or de-aging tech which both cost more money.

I liked this lot.
I don’t know man, the thing kinda looks like the product of exposure to Taco Bell and not cosmic rays…
But other than that sure.

He was awful in Dr. Strange though. He had his chance.
Plus I'm pretty sure he said from the get-go he didn't want this role for a full feature film.

I'm going by looks alone and what I imagine a RR would look like. I don't yet see that from PP. It's not like the MCU is about Oscar winning performances.

Let's just get the whole Chuck 4some back for fantastic 4.
Z Levi as RR
Y Strahovski as Sue
A Baldwin as Thing
J Gomez as human torch
They already have the chemistry of basically the same roles already from 5 seasons of a TV show, they are all likeable fun characters and Yvonne is banging so I'm always down for more of her

More "Fantastic 4" Casting Rumors Emerge - Dark Horizons
In the wake of the news of Pedro Pascal being in talks to play Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic earlier today, further rumors have cropped out about how that casting came to be and who else may join him. In his new The InSneider newsletter, scooper Jeff Sneider has gone into the casting for the role...

Has this actually been officially announced?
Only Elon’s Magical fuck site keeps stating that this hasn’t been officially confirmed. It’s a lot of clickbait sites reporting the same thing, from what I can see.
The dude is 48. I honestly don’t see the wisdom is casting someone that old for the role.

I guess John just got the Thanos snap.
Way to ruin a good casting.

I’m calling shenanigans.
Deadline says the deal isn’t done, and there’s no comment from Marvel.
Could be his representation leaking to push his involvement.

Give me examples of actors who it has affected negatively? I can't think of any who were popular before joining MCU. They get a lot of money.
