      Well yeah, for the MCU. The fantastic four were Marvels first superhero family. Of course they want them in the MCU.

        They also have a long history of interaction with other heroes/teams. There’s a wealth of easy attention grabs bringing them into the MCU.

        On the villain side, they get to bring in Doom. Sure, Richards is his main arch, but there’s a lot that can be done with Dr. Doom. Man doesn’t limit himself to a single goal, he has aspirations for himself and his country that have seen him in some interesting places.

          Exactly. Having a good version of the team could be great for a lot of reasons. Doom for me is a main reason.

    Actors are sent hundreds of scripts…he was never interested…the article is a stretch to make it a story.

    Personally love Adam Driver and worry he’ll hit The Rock status where everyone turns on him because he has way too much exposure…except he is crazy talented in my opinion.

      I wouldn’t worry about that. Adam Driver is a way better actor than the Rock and has a way better filmography. I mean, when you’re doing movies like Jumanji, Rampage, Fast and Furious, and Jungle Cruise, you’re aiming for lucrative short term relevance.

    Seems like a smart move on his part. He’s already gotten plenty of mainstream exposure. He’s also already been burned by being in a critically subpar Disney franchise. It’s probably best to distance himself from run-of-the-mill movies and focus on projects that are likely to be critically successful. He’s a good actor, and I doubt he’s short on cash. He doesn’t need to jump at every money-making project.
