Fantastic Four: Casting Marvel’s First Family in the MCU
By Mark Lynch
Sue Storm
This writer thoroughly enjoyed Jessica Alba’s interpretation of the Invisible Woman. The Fantastic Four films she was previously in were meant to be goofier than the comic book versions but the MCU will probably go in a different direction. This time, the Invisible Woman will be the epitome of strength.
A mother, wife, and the most powerful member of one the premiere Marvel Comics super-teams, Sue Storm was on here last because, next to Dr. Doom, no one on this team may be looked at more closely. She has to be immediately strong in powers and personality and the actor portraying her has to be all this as well.
This one was difficult. After doing some research, Rachel Brosnahan’s name came up. And, wow, wouldn’t she be a great pick? Her role in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel showed this writer everything he needed to see. The stand-up comedy was part of it. She had a powerful presence on stage. – which could easily be translated into the Fantastic Four. She was also a caring mother throughout the series. People may overlook that, but it has to happen. Did we get the action? No, but neither did a lot of other actors in the MCU. Even if they did, not to the extent that we’re seeing now. She should be cast before another studio snatches her up.
