When news first spread that Marvel Studios was planning on giving the Fantastic Four an MCU reboot, fans immediately began speculating on which actors would be cast to play Marvel’s first family. The four superheroes notably found success in the 2000s with two Fantastic Four films starring Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, and Michael Chiklis as the powerful quartet, and while they aren’t the greatest movies, fans tend to feel some nostalgic affection for the films. The MCU would start just a year after Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer was released, effectively putting a stop to any continued sequels with the current stars.
Even with the MCU going strong, the rights to the Fantastic Four were still owned by 20th Century Fox until Disney acquired the company in 2019. Unfortunately, Disney acquired the rights too late to stop an unfortunate 2015 reboot (you’d be forgiven if you were able to forget this happened — the actors sure wish they could) but fortunately got them soon enough for the Fantastic Four to join the MCU.
