(18,357 posts)with Johnny Storm (Chris Evans) who descended from a northern European heritage. The actor who played Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd) in the original could have been saved at least - he is about the right age now. Ben Grim should be CGI this time (it has gotten really good so that actor really doesn't matter as much). Rewrite the Storms as adopted or part of a blended family. The big thing is that they should have chemistry between Reed and Sue - without it the movie will fail. Also the relationship between Ben Grim and Johnny Storm is critical.
Most importantly do the Submariner love triangle and put Dr. Doom on the bench for this movie. When Doom is introduced do not screw with his origin -it was almost as bad as burning the Mandarin down in that God awful Iron Man 3.
This pup as Reed Richards spells disaster for this movie. I don't think anything can save that casting choice.
