Who will play the Fantastic Four? Ask Las Vegas oddsmakers

The Fantastic Four are coming to the MCU, and Vegas has odds on who will play Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch and the Thing.

A couple of weeks back, Disney?announced?an avalanche of new projects coming to both the big and small screens,?including a movie all about Marvel’s first family, the Fantastic Four! These superheroes have had movies before, but they’ve ranged from bad to godawful. But this is the first time Marvel Studios is taking a crack at it, with Spider-Man: Far From Home?director Jon Watts at the helm.?We’re hoping they find the best way to do it.

The Fantastic Four are Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic), Susan Storm (the Invisible Woman), Johnny Storm (Human Torch) and Ben Grimm (The Thing). The big question now is who will play them, and who better to ask than the oddsmakers in Las Vegas? Vegas betting site?Bovada has odds on who will be the next to play the famous roles:

Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic:

John Krasinski +225
John David Washington +400
Dan Stevens +450
Deve Patel +700
Ewan McGregor +850
Glenn Howerton +900
Rahul Kohli +1000
William Jackson Harper?+1000

Susan Storm, aka Invisible Woman:

Emily Blunt +350
Lily James +500
Samara Weaving +500
Jessica Chastain +600
Alice Eve +700
Anna Torv +800
Dianna Agron +900
Rose McIver +900
Mackenzie Davis +1200

A Quiet Place?stars John Krasinski and Emily Blunt are married in real life, just like Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman. These two have been popular fancasts for a while, to the point where Twitter has even mocked up images of them as the characters.

And?Krasinski has already said he’d love to play the role.?”I have no idea what [Marvel] are thinking,” he said. “But if they are considering me for Mr. Fantastic, continue to consider me because I would love it.? Perhaps it’s destiny?

Johnny Storm, aka Human Torch:

Anthony Ramos +400
Zac Efron +400
Riz Ahmed +500
Taron Egerton +600
Dacre Montgomery +700
Ansel Elgort +800
KJ Apa +800
Liam Hemsworth +1000
Andrew Garfield +1500

Ben Grimm, aka The Thing:

Stephen Graham +400
Dean Norris +500
Laz Alonso +550
Ricky Whittle +650
John Cena +700
Dominic Purcell +800
Jared Keeso +1200
Nathan Fillion +1400
Terry Crews +1400
Phillip Brooks +1500
Dwayne Johnson +1800

I also think?Stranger Things?star?Dacre Montgomery would make a great Human Torch. A lot of these picks are good, although I’ll pass on the Rock as Ben Grimm?

There are also rumors that Joseph?Gordon-Levitt is in talks to play an unspecified Marvel role, so that could shift the odds a bit. Whoever they pick, it’s got to be fantastic. People are going to form opinions as soon as the cast is announced. I think the MCU finally has the chance to execute the Fantastic Four correctly and picking the right actors is a vital part of that.
