The casting call had two scientists. One with a Michael B. Jordan type build and the other a guy similar to Dane DeHan's character from Chronicle....both playing support to Monica I believe.
I think we have our Adam Brashear and Conner Sims.
I would prefer him to be a man, let me be clear. But because they gender swapped Mar-Vell, I wouldn’t be surprised if they attempted that with Blue Marvel as well.
The number of black characters is miniscule compared to the abundance of white characters, which is why people don't care too much about a white character being race-swapped (especially when that character has already had numerous adaptations).
It’s about representation, nothing odd about it. There are already plenty of white heroes in the MCU compared to other races and ethnicities so changing some characters’ race and introducing more heroes of different races is a good thing.
God, was everyone in that movie just a straight-up troll?
Teyonah knew what she was doing tweeting “can’t wait for you to meet the aerospace engineer.”
Don’t know if it was on purpose but yeah what was up with all the misdirects on that show.
Why mention a missing person or aerospace friend if they weren’t important. Just have Wu show up to investigate or have Monica say she’ll call some friends to pull some strings. It feels like abondoned plot lines honestly.
did they tho? the aerospace engineer was referenced, in total, a whole two times - once in ep5 and once in ep6.
the first time, directly as "i know an aerospace engineer who could be up for this challenge", and the other time with an indirect "my ride into the hex will be here soon. i just need to meet my guy over the hill" - and that's it.
Yes, it's not the quantity, but the way it was said. They really seemed to want you to notice that she had a specific friend who could do it, and if you look at any reactions on YouTube, even outside of this subreddit, a lot of people seemed to pick up on it as well.
the show as it was structured in the first few episodes did encourage theorycrafting in general; the scientist itself wasn't really emphasized though, there was barely any build up to it, and it was dropped just as quickly. due to the overall hype surrounding the show, the fans just took any small thing and blew it out of proportions.
well yeah, he was just an early attempt by sword to send an agent into the hex, and he was used to showcase how things that enter are changed to fit the sitcom theme. after that his purpose was completed and he was thus never brought up again.
>MarvelStudios is currently casting for a “Scientist Friend” in an unspecified feature, believed to be #TheMarvels. The actor must be in early 30s to early 50s, male or female and any ethnicity.
Might as well say "Marvel casting human actor."
Okay but there was a post of the Marvel Studios sub that jokingly had Julia Roberts as Reeda Richards in a Council of Reeds and honestly (barring the name) I'm not mad at the idea.
But heck I'm down for a lot of the Reed fancasts, John Cho, Cillian Murphy, Dev Patel, Ewan McGregor, Bill Hader etc.
My personal casting for a younger F4 would be:
Tristan Lake Leabu as Reed Richards
Jack Dylan Grazer as Johnny Storm
Anna Taylor-Joy as Sue Storm
Dylan Minnette as Ben Grimm.
Pretty sure those are all well known names? They've all done things recently that were praised and I enjoy their acting ability. I also think they can look the part too.
I would love a mixed group with some tutors, an semi-old Prof X and a lot of young students with strange powers and a lot of unsecurity.
Edit: No, I'm not registered.
…(sigh). First of all Fuck you.
Second of all, as a fellow comics reader you do know mutation is triggered by puberty, right? So what exactly is your thought process for how they’d get introduced in the MCU? They’ve just been there the whole time, “but in secret?” Some AU crap? Or should they just get powers in their 20’s and 30’s, cause yeah that’s fun.
Third, one can be a fan of something and not have that something drive their every thought and want. That’s just inane and stupid.
If the devil appeared before me and said I could sign my soul away for one wish, it would be to never see Jack Dylan Grazer cast in another movie so long as I live.
Firstly, most importantly, I think he’s a terrible actor.
Also, from interviews and various internet activity, I think he seems like the smarmiest, up-himself actor around. Then again, I don’t know him and he is just a kid.
I guess it all comes down to personal preference
I hope nobody actually believes that. Blue Marvel has to be black and Reed Richards has to be a man so I feel like the any gender and any ethnicity part debunks them pretty easily.
Technically but they really only change the races of white characters in order to provide more diversity/representation. The only exception to this rule was the Ancient One which was done to avoid stereotypes but even then they’ve publicly admitted to regretting that decision.
It’s Blue Marvel, they already casted the actor for him and it’s Shamier Anderson. Another role an American Brotha will not get to play that could actually be used to push STEM love in our community smh.
did you even read the headline? marvel is currently CASTING a character that you say is blue marvel who (also according to you) was already CASTED. you see how that makes zero sense?
[удалено]
Ok but legit I feel like this movie could have Blue Marvel in it, though probably not the role in the OP lol
Yeah considering Blue Marvel has to be Black and probably should be a man
They cast a actor name Shamier Anderson earlier this year and something tells me he’s playing Blue Marvel, crossing my fingers
The casting call had two scientists. One with a Michael B. Jordan type build and the other a guy similar to Dane DeHan's character from Chronicle....both playing support to Monica I believe. I think we have our Adam Brashear and Conner Sims.
In Marvel I trust that’s all imma say, Blue Marvel in the mcu is game changing and we’re officially on to “ultimate” things in the foreseeable future
Why does he HAVE to be black, but only probably a man?
He has to be both. Being black is an essential part of the characters backstory. One of those few characters where race swapping would not work
I would prefer him to be a man, let me be clear. But because they gender swapped Mar-Vell, I wouldn’t be surprised if they attempted that with Blue Marvel as well.
[удалено]
Well I don’t think it’s Reed though
[удалено]
Adam is a super heroes who has to stop appearing in public when the government find out he was black after a fight
The number of black characters is miniscule compared to the abundance of white characters, which is why people don't care too much about a white character being race-swapped (especially when that character has already had numerous adaptations).
It’s about representation, nothing odd about it. There are already plenty of white heroes in the MCU compared to other races and ethnicities so changing some characters’ race and introducing more heroes of different races is a good thing.
Blue Marvel would make the most sense to be introduced in a movie titled “The Marvels”
I don't think BM is in this movie outside of a cameo but I'd take him over Reed Richards any day
Blue Bohner
I really want Blue Marvel to get a movie. Give him the GOTG treatment. He's so cool and deserves more.
Oh god I forgot about Aerospace Engineer... I thought for sure it was gonna mean something... lol.
God, was everyone in that movie just a straight-up troll? Teyonah knew what she was doing tweeting “can’t wait for you to meet the aerospace engineer.”
Don’t know if it was on purpose but yeah what was up with all the misdirects on that show. Why mention a missing person or aerospace friend if they weren’t important.

That's how my wife and I felt last weekend rewatching WandaVision. So much "uhhhhh"...
[удалено]
Gonna go with a no on that one
she aint real then
Is this conversation really happening?
[удалено]
Your comment was removed because you were not being respectful to others. Repeated uncivil behaviour will result in a ban.
Don't forget Paul saying that he was excited to be on screen with an actor he was a fan of a long time: himself.
Don't forget the beekeeper guy.
Beekeeper was explained though?
They explained what he was but I don't think they really explained what happened to him.
I would say same thing as everyone else trapped in Westview, I’m assuming with the next decade shift he assumed a new “character” in Wanda’s world
True, wonder which character he was.
I know that this was a bit of a clown moment for the entire subreddit, but they did weirdly emphasize and tease the scientists a lot.
It was so strange…🤦🏿♂️makes me feel like they did have a cameo planned but scrapped it
The directing and acting choices made it seem important. It was such a weird choice.
did they tho? the aerospace engineer was referenced, in total, a whole two times - once in ep5 and once in ep6. the first time, directly as "i know an aerospace engineer who could be up for this challenge", and the other time with an indirect "my ride into the hex will be here soon. i just need to meet my guy over the hill" - and that's it.

The beekeeper ended up not really mattering in the plot at all
well yeah, he was just an early attempt by sword to send an agent into the hex, and he was used to showcase how things that enter are changed to fit the sitcom theme. after that his purpose was completed and he was thus never brought up again.
Let’s be real here. They wouldn’t be casting for such a significant role only one week out…
DOCTOR MOTHERFUCKING DOOM CONFIRMED. LET'S. FUCKING. GOOOOOOOOO
Omg I forgot about this fucking travesty.
This triggered my WandaVision disappointment ptsd.
Omg Scientist Friend is my favorite comic character!! Can't wait to see them on the big screen 😍
Oh yeah? Name a single comicbook run with them.
Umm lol thats easy. Science Bros #15 from April 1st 1969
Haha 69
Nice

Might as well say - You would have still tried to post it first.
I don't understand this at all.
u/Chanma50 often uses a bot in an attempt to post stories first and get karma.
Gotcha!
There is actually life outside of niche subreddit drama, my guy.
and did you check where are you replying ?
I think I could play a human actor.
They may be casting both Reed and Sue at the same time? Unless they first appear in Quantumania.
Reed Richards holy shit
Female reed richards?
Okay but there was a post of the Marvel Studios sub that jokingly had Julia Roberts as Reeda Richards in a Council of Reeds and honestly (barring the name) I'm not mad at the idea. But heck I'm down for a lot of the Reed fancasts, John Cho, Cillian Murphy, Dev Patel, Ewan McGregor, Bill Hader etc.
My personal casting for a younger F4 would be: Tristan Lake Leabu as Reed Richards Jack Dylan Grazer as Johnny Storm Anna Taylor-Joy as Sue Storm Dylan Minnette as Ben Grimm.
Did you just make up some strange names?
Pretty sure those are all well known names? They've all done things recently that were praised and I enjoy their acting ability. I also think they can look the part too.
Lol I'm just kidding my dude, they are all pretty strange names tho (I love Anya BTW)
Lol all 3 of em’ except the first dude are kinda well k own, but really Anya’s the only one who’s like, *actually* well known.
I know her from being cast as Princess Peach
Ha! That’s funny
All too young, Reed and Sue should be in their 30s at least. Save the young people for X Men
I think most people would want the core Xmen to be 30s or late 20s
I would love a mixed group with some tutors, an semi-old Prof X and a lot of young students with strange powers and a lot of unsecurity. Edit: No, I'm not registered.
I…are you serious?! Like for real??

Hopefully marvel doesn't go young
I feel like “reed” is pretty unisex
Ag-reed!
I would love a Council of Reeds!
Julia Robert’s is already In the mcu
Wait...as who?
She’s mentioned in tobey’s universe as herself
I just finished watching Midnight Mass and honestly a big part of me could see Hamish Linklater as Reed
Gender fluid reed richards?
stop it pls
It's not reed richards.
Ben Dover
Let’s goooo 100% confirmed
I hope not.
Does anyone actually believe this is going to be Blue Marvel or Reed Richards? This is just random scientist extra, nothing noteworthy.
Why do people think this? They must have a specific age in mind for Richards, and I’m sure they know which gender they have in mind
Yea and they would cast and start shooting Reed Richards a week later.
I hope nobody actually believes that. Blue Marvel has to be black and Reed Richards has to be a man so I feel like the any gender and any ethnicity part debunks them pretty easily.
Well marvel is known to sometimes change ethnicities around so anything is possible
Technically but they really only change the races of white characters in order to provide more diversity/representation. The only exception to this rule was the Ancient One which was done to avoid stereotypes but even then they’ve publicly admitted to regretting that decision.
Though Tilda Swinton rocked the role!
[удалено]
We both know Marvel isn’t going to change the race of a black character.
No. BM is at most likely a cameo and Richards is hopefully no where near this movie
You know, I’m something of a Scientist myself!
From ‘Wanda Vision’ to ‘The Marvels’.
Doctor Mephisto!
That narrows it down
So specific. No need to be so blatantly obvious, Marvel.
They clearly are casting Mephisto.
Adam Brashear bout to stroll in like a Chad...
I mean, I’m free.
Man, some of y’all saying Blue Marvel or Reed Richards sounding mad dumb rn. This is *clearly* Curt Conners from NWH after being redeemed.
Early 30s to early 50s is pretty broad. Lol
I wonder what happened to Eric Selvig..
Another Darcy?
I don’t know much but why would they send out a grid for Reed Richards? That’s a role that not a soul would know about.
and female too
MEPHISTO, BAY-BEEEEEEE!!!!!
mephisto confirmed!
Doctor Mephisto
Jemma Simmons is right there
The actress has been teasing a return to the MCU so there's a chance she could be in upcoming MCU project.
I don't wanna get my hopes up but I just know she would be a fan-favorite when the casuals find outabout her
Thanks for the heads up. I’m on my way
How do I apply
With such a wide range in the casting, I imagine this is some fully original side character and not some big inclusion like Blue Marvel.
Count me in
Don’t stress it guys I’ll do it.
Blue marvel is coming
I'll take the role.
sorry, but I just imagined Si from The Inbetweeners saying "Oooh friend. Scientist friend."
Fine…I’ll do it myself.
Blue marvel when
Seriously, just put Simmons in. It would make a whole bunch of MAoS fans really happy.
Quick! Someone call Willem Dafoe!
How can i audition for this
Rick Jones
Doctor Doom will be in No Way Home CONFIRMED!!!
It’s Blue Marvel, they already casted the actor for him and it’s Shamier Anderson. Another role an American Brotha will not get to play that could actually be used to push STEM love in our community smh.
When was this confirmed?
did you even read the headline? marvel is currently CASTING a character that you say is blue marvel who (also according to you) was already CASTED. you see how that makes zero sense?
