In two years, we will get a version of the Fantastic Four in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Missteps in the franchise lately have shaken the faith of some in this take being good, and, now, fans are throwing out completely bonkers casting just for the hell of it.
Yesterday a Twitter user posted the above photoshopped images of comedienne Amy Schumer and model and businesswoman Kim Kardashian while appearing to seriously say they would be good choices with their inclusion of a heart emoji. Others have posted the Schumer suggestion as a joke before, and, while the 41-year-old has appeared in some successful projects like Trainwreck and The Humans, she also inspires an intense disdain from people and has been included in mock lists “fans” say they would sue for.
As for Kardashian, the woman who first blew up due to an adult film has mostly appeared as herself in a handful of projects since becoming more well-known. Recent turns include PAW Patrol: The Movie and she will be in the upcoming American Horror Story: Delicate. Kardashian has said before she would be open to a Marvel role, but is not actively looking, and, while she is disliked as a choice, it is not to the sarcastic extent Schumer is. For one fan who feels she would not be a good fit, a shot from the 2018 horror movie Hereditary is the best way to express just how awful something like this would be if it ever came to fruition.
For now, rumors and speculation abound. There are claims Adam Driver is near a deal to play Reed Richards, and, elsewhere in Marvel’s First Family, an insider is saying a veteran from Mission: Impossible and The Crown just may end up being Sue Storm.
