If you don’t know the bottom two faces, I’m sure you know the top. Adam Driver and Margot Robbie have both recently came up as the big favorites to land the roles of Reed and Sue. Bottom left is Paul Mescal. However, remember recently many insiders were saying Mescal was a favorite but had either passed, or had scheduling conflicts. I am therefore surprised to see Mescal on this list as a result. There’s a link to our coverage of the previous set of rumors above.
As for bottom right, that’s Daveed Diggs. Diggs has emerged only in the last couple of weeks as a contender to play Ben Grimm, aka, The Thing. Right now we have no idea whether Diggs role is purely voice/mo-cap work given how Ben normally looks. That may all depend on where this Fantastic Four movie begins the family’s story.

There are of course some insiders who are claiming that whilst these four are the hot favorites, not all of them are confirmed and signed up. I guess that information could mean some variation may still occur? However, what is clear is that the buzz is all about these four actors above.
I have not seen Diggs or Mescal in anything, so really cannot comment on their suitability for the roles of Ben and Johnny respectively. I do however think Driver and Robbie would be excellent choices as Reed and Sue. Therefore, I will just have to trust Marvel knows what they are doing here. after all, they want to get this right as well. The Fantastic Four hasn’t always worked so far in movies. Marvel will be looking for that to change with Fantastic Four.
