Fantastic Four Reboot Fan-Cast *UPDATED WITH PLOT IDEAS AND MINI SCRIPT*

With a reboot of the Fantastic Four on the way, I felt the need to want to share my personal fan-cast of this series. I have a few plot ideas going around my head, but nothing major. In my fan-cast you will see the more familiar characters and no major villains, mainly because I am not familiar with F4 and suitable villains in a movie besides Doctor Doom. Before I share my fan-cast I want to share some of my ideas:

-A new younger cast (with the exception of Ben Grimm and Victor Von Doom)

-Instead of them getting their powers right away, I want the powers to develop during the course of the movie, specifically Doom.

-I don't want Doom to be the main villain. I want the movie to foreshadow what he becomes, but I don't want him to become the first MAIN villain for them. I would like the first movie and some of the second to expand on how powerful and evil he truly is.

-As stated earlier, I can't think of a good MAIN villain for this first movie, so maybe something along the lines of, a Skrull (or Chitauri if they link this in the MCU) finds away on the spacecraft and follows our heroes and Doom back to Earth where it causes havoc.

-No love interest for Ben in this film. I think it would be good for this film if he experiences loss and tragedy and at the end of the film finally comes to his senses and feels comfortable in his new form yet still a little hostile. I think this would be great character development instead of just jumping into OHHH NO IM HIDEOUS BUT NOW I HAVE A GF SO ITS BETTER! like the original.

-Stuff that happens early on in the film comes back later on and in other movies.

-Connected to the MCU. [Nobody in Avengers besides Nick Fury is seen]

Intro to movie:
A man who appears to be a doctor is working very hard in a high-tech lab and receives a phone call from his children, Susan and Johnny who are wondering when he will be home. The man who is revealed to be Franklin Storm reassures them he will see them soon but gets off the phone in a hurry. The man scattering around runs to an operating table and lifts up the sheet and it appears to be some weird alien creature (which happens to be a Skrull which we would find out later) that seems to be dead. While operating with others on this creature, it starts to mutate and starts causing carnage all over, evidently killing Franklin Storm. Men with guns run into the room (one of them being a young Nick Fury confirming it takes place in the MCU) attempt to take out the creature (which escapes) and tells them the situation is worse than it appears.

Years later (roughly 3-4 months after The Avengers takes place) two men walk down the street discussing stuff. Both men are introduced to be Reed Richards and Ben Grimm. Although the streets and environment around them is still messed up from the Chitauri invasion, Reed looks up at Stark Industries proclaiming he would love to meet Tony Stark one day as he is his idol (this could play good into a Civil War movie if they ever make one!). The two men walk into a workplace building.

We now see a young man being yelled at a young woman in public about getting his act together. These two are revealed to be Susan and Johnny Storm. Susan is revealed to be a co-worker of Reed (who she looks up to, but he has a slight crush on. It is also revealed she wanted to go into a similar line of work as her father who mysteriously died.). Susan is revealed to be also very smart but nowhere near Reeds intellect. We meet another man by the name of Victor Von Doom owner of this building and discuss to Reed, Susan, and Ben (who we learn is a NASA Space Pilot who used to work with Reeds dad until he died and Ben took over as a father figure) about a new 'space expedition into worlds unknown'. This is to further see the mysteries of the galaxy after the Chitauri invasion.

*Plot moves on from there with Johnny joining the space expedition, shit hits the fan, they get affected by cosmic blasts but then....*

While the ship which is being affected by these cosmic blasts and Ben who is trying to fly out of the course of the Cosmic Rays, a mysterious creature (Skrull) hides somewhere on the ship and travels back to Earth with the crew.

*Get back to Earth, show realizations of powers, the evolution of the powers, and Dooms transformation into his future self, but not totally there yet.*

Towards the end of the film the creature that was seen earlier is causing carnage all over the city and it is showing off powers similar to the F4. F4 ban together to defeat this creature which proves to be difficult since as a team they are somewhat dysfunctional but Reed steps up as a leader (almost in a CA-esque way in the Avengers when he gives orders) to defeat this creature.

*Final battle, obviously they defeat it or this was a worthless reboot if they die, a little bit more story stuff involving the 4 coming to the realization the great things they can do together and call themselves the Fantastic Four...BOOM END CREDITS*

AFTER end credits we see Reed doing some scientific stuff. Susan walks in somewhat shaken and tells Reed they have a visitor. It is revealed to be Nick Fury and it ends there.




Thank you for reading that shitty script (which I know sucked trust me).

Now here are my choices:


Reed Richards is suitably younger than he usually is. To get the real feel of a genius, like Reed is, I wanted someone believable for the part and make it seem he finished school and college very early on. Reed is supposed to be a leader and I think my choice is well reflected. For this I casted 32 year old, Michael Gray Gubler. In the show Criminal Minds he plays a genius...who's name also happens to be Reed! I think this new take on a younger version of F4 will be a more realistic version.
