Despite the rumors that have circulated in recent weeks, there seems to be some dry denial of rumors of a possible entry into the cast of Fantastic Four.
According to rumors published last month by the Inverse portal, the role of the front-runner for the role of Reed Richards seems now to be the preserve of Penn Badgleya young actor already known for his participation in series like Gossip girl And You., denied indecisiveness a few hours ago with a rather decisive backtrack by the author of the report himself.
The dispute arose from a statement by the insider Devin Faraci who, in the course of an intervention on the Marvelvision podcast, seemed to take it for granted so far, so that he became unbalanced to the point of declaring “He probably already got the role of Mister Fantastic“. However, the reporter has now clarified that his speculations are only, not supported in any way by any contact.
Faraci, however, doesn’t seem to be reserving the same concern for other names that have surfaced in recent weeks. According to a previous report by Inverse, the role of Sue Storm will now be a two-way race Melissa Benoist And Natalia Dyerwhile Logan Lerman will be in contention for the role of Johnny Storm. Other names that may be involved in the film have also come out Jharrel Jeromewho is known to the public for his performance in the Oscar-winning film moonlight, for a role that has not yet been officially described. The name of Simon Bakerwho is known for his role in the series The Mentalistinstead vying for the role of the villain, who should be none other than the iconic Victor Von Doom, aka Doctor Doom.
If we still don’t have an officer on the cast front, it looks like something concrete is moving in front of the director instead. Marvel Studios was a bit shocked by Jon Watts’ departure, but now it seems Matt Shankmanformer director of episodes of WandaVisionis willing to take over the role of director of Fantastic Four.
The film doesn’t have an official release date yet, however, we should get more information on the release and the cast later D23 expected on September 9th.
