It seems to be like issues might not be figuring out between Marvel Studios and Adam Driver for Fantastic Four. The actor’s title has been related to the movie for fairly a while, and a pair of months in the past a report surfaced saying that he has accepted the supply to play Reed Richards.
Well, it’s now being reported that Driver might not be hooked up or in competition for the function. The information comes from Jeff Sneider on the most recent episode of The Hot Mic Podcast, and he says the rationale issues didn’t work out is as a result of of cash. Snieder stated:
“When I asked someone about Fantastic Four, they said…like I said it comes down to money, so I think Adam Driver may have priced himself out. That may have been the situation. He may have just started asking for too much money.”
I imply, if you’re coping with Marvel and Disney and a number of movies, it is sensible that he’s going to wish to make some cash off it. Driver does make rather a lot of low-budget movies so that you’d suppose a giant payday wouldn’t be that necessary for him, however possibly as a result of of the dedication it takes, he’s asking for extra.
Sneider and co-host John Rocha additionally speculated that one other potential difficulty may be a casting one, with Driver merely not eager to be within the movie if Margot Robbie, who was rumored to be taking part in Sue Storm, wouldn’t be in it. But that’s simply hypothesis.
Other experiences have talked about that Elvis star Austin Butler is being checked out for the function of Johnny Storm, aka The Human Torch.
I really preferred Driver for the function of Reed Richards, but when he’s actually out of the working, it is going to be attention-grabbing to see who Marvel’s Second alternative is.
Kevin Feige beforehand stated that Marvel’s first household goes to be a giant pillar of the long run of the MCU after they’re launched. He stated: “Fantastic Four is the foundation for everything that came after in the comics. There’s certainly been versions of it [on screen], but never inhabiting the storytelling of the MCU. And that’s something that is really exciting for us. People will start to hear more about that soon. We plan on that being a big pillar of the MCU going forward, just the way they’ve been in the comics for 50 or 60 years.”
Marvel producer Stephen Broussard beforehand promised that the movie might be a real celebration of the unique supply materials from the comics: “I wouldn’t presume to know everything about that film; I’m not necessarily working on it. But one of the founding principles of Marvel, going back to Iron Man and the casting of Tony that I think has resonated through today, is to embrace the source material and these comics that have been around forever. They’re older than me, and I’m guessing they’re older than you too. They’ve been around for a while for a reason, [so we] lean into that.”
Matt Shakman (WandaVision) is directing the movie.
Are there any actors you’d prefer to see tackle the function of Mr. Fantastic?
