Fans have expressed interest in John Krasinski to play Reed, but if the A Quiet Place II helmer ends up developing a preference for staying behind the camera, Marvel should really look into seeing if Christian Bale would be interested in stretching his legs on a new Fantastic Four movie. Mister Fantastic, the alias of physicist Reed Richards, has the ability to elongate his skin to extreme lengths as well as shape his body into various forms, due to an accident aboard a spacecraft involving cosmic radiation that gave him, his wife Susan Richards, brother-in-law Johnny Storm, and childhood friend Ben Grimm extraordinary abilities. Their leader, Mister Fantastic, should be played by someone who can be eccentric, intelligent, bears a strong commitment to serving the greater good, and is at least 10 years older than Miles Teller. All it would take is a quick head shave and some green body paint, something the famously transformative actor should have no problem with, and you have yourself the perfect Martian Manhunter.įans have been eagerly waiting for the MCU to finally give the recently acquired property of the Fantastic Four a proper life on the big screen after three movies (and one unreleased 1994 attempt) that just don’t do Marvel’s first superhero family justice. A founding member of the Justice League, the Martian Manhunter (née J'onn J'onzz) is an extraterrestrial cop capable of anything Superman can do and much more (such as shapeshifting) who became a superhero after becoming stranded on Earth.ĭespite being one of the kindest and noblest crime fighters of the DC universe, J'onn is often described as having a cold and stoic demeanor: a common character trait among those who come from Mars and something Christian Bale is skilled in portraying after starring as an emotionally repressed government agent from a future in which feelings are outlawed in the dystopian thriller Equilibrium. actors like Simon Pegg and Orlando Bloom, so if Christian Bale wants to claim the throne, he better start campaigning hard.įor years, my top pick for the DCEU’s iteration of the Martian Manhunter was rapper/actor Common, but since he already screwed the pooch on that chance with his disappointing cameo in Suicide Squad, I’m now turning to Christian Bale and, yes, I have good reason. The character has yet to be properly introduced to the MCU, but has attracted the attention of U.K. Playing Marvel's Captain Britain would not only allow him to use a British accent, the role would understandably require it.Įssentially the United Kingdom’s answer to Captain America (a la the Russian Red Guardian) but even more powerful, Captain Britain, the alter ego of Brian Braddock, has gone on countless adventures since the mid 1970s with the likes of the Avengers and X-Men and even reigned as ruler of the magical alternate dimension of Otherworld, from which his powers originated. However, you have to wonder if the Welsh actor has ever desired the rare chance to use his natural accent for a role. Of course, Christian Bale is clearly the kind of actor who likes to be challenged, so perhaps a fighter pilot of the DC comics universe would feel a little too familiar for him.
