This is good news for southern California's electricity providers, because now all they need to do is attach magnets to Jack Kirby's corpse, and the energy generated by his grave-spinning should power half the state for the next year.

Thought you guys would get a laugh out of that

[Operation:Mego]

Please tell me someone will put the suits at 20th into a skyscraper and launch it into space.

They would die thinking it was too close to the comics for them.

This looks absolutely terrible, but I'm curious who everyone would have cast instead.

I'm thinking Judd Hirsh, Marilu Henner, Tony Danza, and Danny Devito would be way better, but I've been watching a lot of Taxi on ME TV

Funniest news I've read all week!

[Earth 2 Chris]

She could work. I feel like the guys playing Ben and Reed should swap. They'd still be way off, but it would work better...possibly.

I've started typing and deleting at least ten times now. I just don't know what to say. This seems like a bad fancast, none of the actors seem right, except for Mara. She at least resembles Kirby's IW.

I liked the last two films. I actually thought most of the casting was pretty good. this new one looks like a piece of PC garbage

[jds1911a1]

I'm like JIMSMEGOS I have NO idea who any of these actors are. I thought they couldn't possbily cast worse than the last 2 films but i was wrong, at least I knew who most of that cast were before the film came out

[Brown Bear]

Stupid choices. Makes no sense. I'll pass.

[Sideshow Spock]

I could roll around in glue and cover myself with crunchy Cheetos and make a better Thing than the guy they picked.

But that guy is just Ben Grimm, right? The Thing will be CGI..

[Figuremod73]

Oh good, I'm not the only one ripping on a movie for a change!

[PNGwynne]

I have no use for this...BAH!

I agree and suspect this will make Doom's Julian McMahon look like Olivier.

For me, it's actually less about casting and more about production design. I can't believe we are this far into superhero movies, and no one has tried to make Jack Kirby's art style come to life. I would like to see the big, gleaming metallic structures, way out character designs, colorful backgrounds, and those Kirby energy dots all in living, breathing color. Set it in the 1960s as a period piece.

Give me something I've never seen on screen before.

And yeah, Reed needs to smoke a pipe.
