Bunch of great actors but they all seem like an odd fit for this project. That image makes me wonder if they're going to go for some kind of highly stylized retro-futuristic aesthetic somewhere along the lines of what WandaVision was doing.

Yes, I feel like this will be similar to Captain America where this set in the 60s so you get the origin story, they go off into space, they aren't seen again, they return in modern day with their abilities but are still set in that 60s mind frame.

FF is deeply rooted in 60’s space race era futurism. Even in the issues coming out today that sense of exploration, an optimism for human advancement, is kind of paramount to making the team work. I’m glad to see it already being acknowledged in these early promo materials.

I haven’t been posting much in here due to dealing with life stuff, but I’m very pleased and optimistic about this cast. I wouldn’t have considered Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards but the more I think about it the more I’ve come around. Im curious to see how he’ll handle this role; I don’t think I’ve seen him play a genius/scientist type before, and in the Marvel universe Reed is as smart as they come.

Also surprised to see no one talking about X-Men 97 in here! I was cautiously looking forward to it but it's fair to say that it has far exceeded my expectations in every way and is definitely the most exciting thing Marvel has put out in some time for my money. It's going to be sad when the finale airs next week and I don't have a new episode to look forward to every Wednesday anymore lol 😭

I’ve been watching it off and on when I had a spare 30 minutes for the last couple weeks. It really is great, not just nostalgic. I watched ep. 5 a couple nights back and have to say it’s one of the best episodes of any show I have seen this year.

Malkovich FF role speculation?

My hope is Dr. Doom.

I also wonder if maybe Nathanael Richards?

Wasn't so sure when people were talking about Malkovich playing Puppet Master, but I'm fairly certain Natasha Lyonne will be playing Alicia Masters, so perhaps Puppet Master is a rather likely possibility after all.

I still think Malky would make an excellent Doom, though.
