Which superhero role can Jennifer Aniston still play?
Invisible Woman
Now that Marvel has their Fox properties back, it’s only a matter of time before we see the Fantastic Four again. It’s a longshot, but the more time spent thinking about Jennifer Aniston as Sue Storm, the more exciting it seems.

We’ve seen a few attempts at Marvel’s First Family on the big screen, with varying degrees of success, or lack thereof. No matter what you think of what we’ve gotten thus far, it’s fair to agree that we haven’t seen the Fantastic Four at a level that compares to most, if not all, MCU films. It’s only a matter of time before they join in on the fun, and Marvel should go in a different direction. Make it a bigger family affair.
Yes, the core team of Sue Storm-Richards (Invisible Woman), Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic), Johnny Storm (Human Torch), and Ben Grimm (The Thing) should still be there. But we don’t need their complete origin again. This family should be established already—including Franklin and Valeria Richards, the children of Sue and Reed.
Jennifer Aniston has the look Sue Storm needs, is the perfect age to have superhero children, and has the talent to pull it all together. While there’s been a big push for TV-based projects in this article, this is one that should be on the big screen. In a post-Endgame world, it’s time to start breaking the mold of superhero movies. A family fun-filled adventure is something that Marvel has yet to do, and Aniston could lead this family comedy as part of a new age at Marvel Studios.
Is there room for Jennifer Aniston to join either the DC or Marvel family? Is there someone not listed here you’d like to see her portray on TV or in a film? Let us know in the comments!
