That Manhattan accent is pretty much dead.
Hell’s Kitchen used to be a really rough place. Through a lot of the 20th century it was. I believe both Nick Fury and Daredevil grew up there. Relatively low rents combined with it’s location made it a desirable location. It’s right next to the Theater District. Rents aren’t low anymore. What used to be a blue collar neighborhood is now mostly white collar. Some really good restaurants in the area.
Are the FF now supposed to be immortal? Or are they going to stay in the 60s?
Maybe they’ll get tossed through time during the cosmic accident and have wacky misadventures in the present.
Wacky misadventures? What’s the chances of that happening?
Doom is pretty much the best Marvel villain if not the best comic book villain, period. He is exactly who the MCU should have been focusing on.
Pedro Pascal has the same problem i had with John Krasinski, he looks like a really nice dude who is also a bit dumb. Reed Richards should be literally the opposite of that.
Ben Grimm grew up on “Yancy Street”–a thinly disguised stand-in for Delancey Street–on the Lower East Side. An area which also used to be mostly working-class, but has since become fairly trendy and gentrified.
I would agree. I think I had the same problem with Miles Teller as Reed Richards. A bit too “Average Joe”. For Richards, I picture someone like Matthew Goode (Ozymandias from Watchman) or Glenn Powell (Hangman from Top Gun: Maverick).
Maybe Jacob Elordi (Saltburn). He already looks all tall and gangly and all stretched out.
I like Vanessa Kirby but really I don’t know much about what it takes to play Sue Storm, other than she’s blonde and turns invisible.
The other two actors I’m barely familiar with.
Well…Pedro Pascal comes to mind.
Reed Richards should have a very “patrician” air to him. Pedro Pascal has more of a “fun uncle” vibe.
The nice thing about playing Reed is that you don’t have to work out for the role.
From Hell’s Kitchen to swell kitchens?
I’ll show myself out of the thread now…
Always the most tedious part of superhero movies. And they’re always too long and dramatic. Nobody cares if Batman’s parents get gunned down- get on with the story!
Wait, are you saying there’s a connection between Batman……and Bruce Wayne?
She’s blonde, she turns invisible, and she makes force fields.
And easily the most powerful member of the Four. Comic-wise, don’t go after Lois Lane, Betty Ross, or Sue Storm’s kids. Because “force-fields” can also be very small and in your veins, or spiky, and they’re invisible.
Makes sense. That used to be a Jewish neighborhood.
“…business cards that say ‘Sue Richards - Invisible Woman - Knocked Out The Hulk’.”
You know, a Benedict Cumberbatch type.
And not coincidentally, it was the neighborhood where Jack Kirby grew up.
