The role Ford would get would be Sue Storm’s father.

So Mr Baxter Building..

They could do (and have done) a lot worse. She's made everything I've seen her in better.

And if they are set on keeping John Krasinski, Comer at 29 is old enough that his Reed Richards wouldn't be robbing the cradle with her Sue but young enough that she could play the role for many movies to come.

That being said, I'll believe it when Marvel/Disney officially announces it.

Whatever announcement there is will likely come on Saturday during the Marvel panel at D23.

if they are set on keeping John Krasinski

I am not convinced that they are going to do that.

I am not convinced that they are going to do that.

Nor am I. Penn Badgley is another name that has gotten a lot of attention for Reed Richards. It's all just speculation until Marvel says otherwise.

In addition to confirming the writers, there's something else about that article which is important.

Feige and Shakman now will focus on finding actors while the script is being written.

This appears to indicate that they do not have cast yet, which casts doubt on all of the recent casting rumors.

 

[Sam Favate]

^ That could mean a lot of things. It could be they’ve settled on some of the big names, as rumored, and are fleshing out the rest of the cast. Only two main characters are rumored to have been chosen, and this film will have at least 5 or 6, not to mention all the supporting players.

Or Nathaniel Richards, Reed's father.

While it's too bad they won't be able to go with Fantastic Four in 2024 for synergy's sake, if they need more time to make this, that's fine. It's more important to get it right than to make any particular date.
