Happy to be proved wrong, wouldn’t be the first time.

Same. Jonathan Hickman's FF run is my favorite comic run of all time and his Avengers\New Avengers\Secret Wars run that picks up nearly after the FF run and ties together is IMO, the greatest run across all modern comics, full stop.

I am absolutely terrified of what they are going to do this movie which will be the what, 4th or 5th iteration in 40 years or so.

If my son begs me to go I will take him of course. But at this point, I am more excited to take him to see Sonic 3 over the holidays then this when it comes out.

She is a very good actress for sure but she has a very "unique look". Not sure if it is here eyes or how she has blond hair and dark eyebrows. She is the least of my concerns in this film for sure. Its the other 3 leads plus the MCU behind the scenes ****ery of everything which will really affect the final project.

There are some videos of Pascal as Reed on youtube with the light blue suit that look great. Seeing him with the grey sides

I will definitely be seeing it at the cinema, but with that aforementioned concern, I mean, I don’t dislike the guy, buoyed him in TLOU, but he wouldn’t have been my pick.

Yeah Pascal has somehow turned into the middle-aged equivalent of Austin Butler\Timmay Chalomet and the other new guy Hollywood is trying their hardest to become a star - Glenn something.

Just overexposed.

That's how I feel about Giancarlo or Sweeney. All over the place, and seemingly playing the same (type of) character.

Same. He's been the got to guy lately and he gives just mid performances.

I've said it before but Rahul Kohli was my pick. Give somebody else a shot.

I would have been just fine with John Krasinski playing him.

Oh, for sure, but I'd like her to break out of these roles a bit.

I mean, she is playing a female boxer, she just played a nun in Immaculate, seems like a decent range.

Vote for Pedro!!!

"First Steps"... is this going to be like Spider-man where they have to do the same origin story in each and every movie?

[Star Lord]

Homecoming didn't do an origin story.

Did they do the origin story in Spiderman Homecoming? I must have missed it.

Edit: Beat by 10 seconds.

My brother is having the same issue. He's just thinks it's a mismatch.

The problem with the previous FF movie(s) is that it was pre-MCU. This is gonna be the 616 take on it.

Pedro Pascal has more of a screen presence than John Krasinski ever will.

Ehhhhhhh...........................maybe. But JK is the right age. PP is 5 years older. I'll have to see him in a proper trailer, but he wouldn't be my first choice.
