Finding the Perfect FANTASTIC FOUR for the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Marvel's First Family is coming back in a film directed by Spider-Man's Jon Watts.  There's been a lot of anticipation as to who will play Marvel's first family and many have gravitated to actors John Krasinski and Emily Blunt as Reed Richards and Sue Storm-Richards. While they're popular choices it seems many forget other actors exist and there are more than just those two fit for the roles. Suitably casting choices for Ben Grimm, Johnny Storm, and Doctor Doom are all as limited. To this end, I've put together a list of various actors for each of the five main characters Marvel fans are excited to see pop in the MCU: Reed Richards, Sue Richards, Johnny Storm, Ben Grimm, and Doctor Doom. So if you're interested in a few interesting choices for Marvel's first family and most dangerous villain then check this out.

MORTAL KOMBAT (2021) Review *Spoilers*

2021 Has seen the end of a very long waiting period for a new Mortal Kombat movie. The last released theatrical movie was 1997's Mortal Kombat Annihilation. I've been a life long fan of Mortal Kombat, and despite the aggravating silence from the studios until roughly two months until release, I've been anticipating the new film. Thanks to the benefits of HBO Max I've been able to give this thing a couple of rewatches outside of my theatrical experience. This review, of course, will be my opinion and not based on any other opinions. Any and every point is reflective of my views and my views only. I also must say that I am not here to presume that I am a better Filmmaker than anyone else involved, I'm not and likely would never touch a movie camera, so this is only the perspective of a member of the target audience of the movie.

My "JOKER 2" Pitch.

 In October of 2019 Todd Phillips' JOKER released and became an R-Rated theatrical juggernaut. It grossed over a billion dollars, received the Golden Lion as the Venice Film Festival (the festivals highest honor), and two Academy Awards (for Best Actor and Best Original Score). The absolute magnitude of success the film generated was simply unpredictable. Needless to say the film was a success on just about any metric you can name and with that comes the inevitable sequel talk. As mentioned in previous articles, both Phoenix and Phillips have spoken optimistically about the duo working on a sequel. While I have suggested how to handle a sequel previously, I have my own Idea on what I would do with a JOKER 2.

The New Gods

Recently Warner Bros. canceled development of a NEW GODS Movie. The project was written by comic book Writer Tom King and film director Ava DuVernay, with DuVernay directing. The project was a massive step for Warners and their attempt to distance themselves from the Snyderverse. I have my own ideas on what to do with the New Gods...
