According to the well-known revelation account MTTSH, Marvel's "Fantastic Four" casting has made new progress, and it was previously reported that Marvel is actively communicating with Matt Smith, hoping that he will play "Mr. Fantastic" Reed Richards.
But before the Hollywood strike, Matt Smith had already turned down an offer to cooperate, and Marvel's next candidate, none other than Jake Gyllenhaal. (Premier Captain)
Since Jake Gyllenhaal has previously starred in Mysterio in "Spider-Man: Far From Home", foreign media are very strange about this invitation.
In this regard, I have a conjecture, if the story of Marvel's "Fantastic Four" does not take place in the main universe, but comes from another parallel universe, then Gyllenhaal's behavior of playing two roles alone can be explained. (Premier Captain)
And "Fantastic Four" takes place in another universe, in fact, it does not affect, because in "Avengers 6: Secret War", Marvel should integrate all the multiverses, which leads to many characters or organizations that did not exist in the MCU overworld in the past, and the Fantastic Four and the X-Men are definitely the most important part of it.
But if it really develops as I suspect, it will also have some interesting chain effects, such as as as CWGST's complaining, if Gyllenhaal's Mr. Fantastic meets Peter Parker, will the spider punch Mr. Fantastic in the face? (Premier Captain)
You must know that the relationship between Spider-Man and Mr. Fantastic in the comics is quite close, if you really want to do this, how will the MCU deal with the relationship between the two in the future?
And in "Spider-Man: Far From Home", Mysterio made up a story for himself from the 833 universe, so will Marvel's "Fantastic Four" borrow the donkey from the slope and directly apply this setting?
But all this is only a rumor at present, if Jake Gyllenhaal really changes skins and returns to Marvel, then this matter is indeed quite abstract. (Premier Captain)
And Matt Smith's refusal of Marvel's invitation also happened before the start of the strike, after which the strike began, perhaps Marvel has not yet contacted Gyllenhaal, so more specific news, we can only know after the end of the strike.
Do you want Lao Ji to return to play Mr. Fantastic?
