‘Fantastic Four’ Casting Storm Mocks MCU History as an Executed MCU Sequel Could’ve Saved an Entire Franchise

Marvel is truly testing our faith in the upcoming reboot of the Fantastic Four by keeping the official cast a mystery. The anticipation is building, and the latest casting rumors circulating are absolutely mind-boggling. These rumors not only add excitement but also raise concerns about the continuity of a certain subsection of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) — although the two ideas may not seem related at first glance.

If you’ve been closely following the buzz surrounding the potential cast for the Fantastic Four, you may have heard that Vanessa Kirby is the frontrunner for Sue Storm, Adam Driver is still in the running for Reed Richards, and Joseph Quinn from Stranger Things could possibly be our Human Torch. But the most surprising rumor of all is Antonio Banderas as Galactus. Meanwhile, the speculation about casting the Silver Surfer raises interesting possibilities, although it conflicts with the actor’s existing role in a Defenders Saga series, suggesting Marvel does not consider the Netflix shows part of the MCU continuity.

The most overlooked MCU movie almost led to an outstanding sequel

The Incredible Hulk is arguably the most disjointed Marvel movie, with its lead character disappearing from the franchise after the credits rolled. However, the Multiverse Saga brought some redemption by reintroducing Abomination in She-Hulk and teasing the arrival of Red Hulk (played by Harrison Ford) in Captain America: Brave New World. Recently, director Louis Letterier revealed ambitious plans for a sequel that would have given us multiple Hulks, potentially salvaging the reputation of this underrated film.

Although Wanda Maximoff met her demise in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, fans are eagerly hoping for Elizabeth Olsen’s return to the MCU. Rumor has it that Marvel is secretly working on a Disney Plus special called Witches Road, which might bring Wanda back alongside the concurrently produced Agatha: Coven of Chaos. Interestingly, the same director from Netflix’s Wednesday, another highly anticipated series, is said to be involved in this project. It’s an intriguing thematic crossover that fans should definitely keep an eye on.

Secret Invasion may not have contributed much to the overall storyline of the MCU, but the Marvel news multiverse is constantly evolving. So, make sure to stay tuned for more updates.
