T’Challa/ Black Panther under the advise of Shuri (Who as watching the Fantastic Four), recruits the Fantastic Four to fight Namor in Wakanda. Black Panher then rewards them with Wakandan Technology, Vibranium and a flying car which Reed Richards would call the Fantasticar.
Who should be the main Villain of the First MCU Fantastic Four Movie?
I Personally would like to see Bentley Wittman/ the Wizard and Frightful Four as the main villain of the first Fantastic Four Movie, Part of the reason is that I personally want to reboot the Inhumans in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and to cast Kara Tointon as Medusa who made her first comic book appearence as a member of the Frightful Four.

Crew
Iain Morris and Damon Beesley (Inbetweeners) as Directors
Iain Morris, Damon Beesley, Taika Waititi and David Baddiel as Writer
Music By Joby Talbot, with additional works by Matt Berry, Neil Hannon and S Club 7- Even though Joby Talbot would do the main score, the Main Fantastic Four themw would be written by Joby Talbot, Neil Hannon and Matt Berry. As you can see as well as an actor, Matt Berry is also a very good musician, Matt Berry will also do a cover of the theme tune of the 1990s Fantastic Four Cartoon theme. The Lead Single will be Family By S Club 7
Casting
Matt Smith (Doctor Who)as Reed Richards/ Mr Fantastic- As I want the MCU Fantastic Four to have a Doctor Who vibe, I originally wanted David Tennant as Mr Fantastic, But as Tennant is Kilgrave, I decided to cast Matt Smith.
Lily James (Downton Abbey, Mamma Mia) as Sue Storm/ Invisible Woman- As Matt Smith and Lily James are boy friend and girlfriend I think that it would be a good idea to cast a real life couple as Reed Richards and Sue Storm.
Robert Kazinsky (EastEnders) as Ben Grimm/ The Thing- Even though Robert Kazinsky played a small role in Captain Marvel, it is possible to get him as Ben Grimm/ The Thing, They castedGemma Chan as Doctor Minn erva from Captain Marvel and Cersi in Eternals. Due to Ben Grimm/ The Thing being Jewish and Robert Kazinsky being Jewish. I think he would very good as the Thing. Robert Kazinsky also played CGI characters before.
Joe Thomas (Inbetweeners) as Johnny Storm/ Human Torch- The main Reason I picked him is because is is Hannah Tointons boyfriend and I want Hannah Tointon as Crystal in the Inhumans reboot. In the Comics Crystal fell in love with Johnny Storm.
Matt Berry (IT Crowd, Toast of London) as Nicholas Sweeney/Henry McCoy/ Beast- This Character will first appear in an end credit scene of Thor Love and Thunder, where he presents a documentary about New Asgard, However, we will not learn is true identity until the first MCU Fantastic Four movie. I think Matt Berry would be brilliant and funny as the MCU Beast, due to his opera like voice and his portrayal of Steven Toast In Toast of London. Matt Berry also has some resemblance to Beast. The MCU Beast will be CGI in a very similar fashion Professor Hulk
Sacha Baron Cohen as Bentley Wittman/ The Wizard
Tracy Ann-Obermann (EastEnders) as Lavina Forbes
Maureen Lipman as Petunia Grimm
David Schneider as Rabbi Saul – An Original Character that I made to be Ben Grimms Rabbi
Marius Jensen as Thor Erikson/ Thor Impersonator- Another original character
Hannah Spearitt (S Club 7) as Alica Masters
Geoffrey McGivern as Philip Masters/ The Puppet Master
Trevor Laird as Kwaku Adjobah- Another Original Character that I have made, He will be very similar to his other character in Toast of London Nick Swivney, But without the Homophobia. He will also play a huge part in the MCU Deadpool Series.
Blake Harrison (Inbetweeners) as Wyatt Wingfoot
Emma Rigby (Hollyoaks, Inbetweeners) as Frankie Raye
Nadiya Hussain as Hasina Chowdhury- She is another original character that I had made for Nadiya Hussain, As the East End of London has a lot of Bangladeshi’s, I think There should be a character of Bangladeshi origins
Jemaine Clement as Harvey Elder/Mole-Man
Kara Tointon (EastEnders, The Halcyon) as Medusa/ Medusalith Amaquelin- One of my top Celebrity Crushes, The reason I picked her as Medusa is because she has a Younger sister called Hannah Tointon Just like Medusa who’s Younger sister is Crystal. Kara Tointon and Hannah Tointon both played Mr Selfridge’s Daughters in the Biopic Mr Selfridge. I think it would be perfect sense to cast siblings as siblings.
Alfie Allen (Game of Thrones) as Bram Velsing/ Dreadknight
Matthew Holness (Garth Marenghis Darkplace) as Trapster/ Peter Petruski
David Mitchell (Peep Show) as Mayor Edwin Gladstone- Another Original Character
Rachel Stevens (S Club 7) as Allison Blaire/ Dazzler Another of my celebrity crushes, I would think she would be a good Dazzler.
Freema Agyeman as Ororo Munroe
Jon Hamm (Mad Men) as Black Bolt/ Blackagar Boltagon
Hannah Tointon (Hollyoaks, Inbetweeeners) as Crystal/ Crystalia Amaquelin- The Reason I Picked Hannah Tointon as Crystal is because she is the younger Sister of Kara Tointon who I want to Play Medusa.
Kayvan Novak (Fonejacker, Four Lions) as Karnak Mander-Azur
Shazad Latif (Toast of Londonm, Star Trek) as Triton Mander-Azur
Temuera Morrison (Star Wars) as Gorgon Petragon
Simon Callow as Charles Xavier/ Professor X
