Why didn't they just cast Krasinski again? He was good in MoM.

Have no idea. It's like they're considering everyone except him for the role.

[Krissykins]

Why have so many people declined roles in this film? Surely a red flag.

It’s going to be a multi film contract, likely 3 F4 films, 2 Avenger films (if the slate doesn’t change) and cameos.

 

Anyway am all for this if true. Totally detest fan casting shenanigans so I just don’t care about a mostly TV actor not getting the job cause he kind looks how a character was drawn in the 60s.

No director wants to be responsible for directing the first Avengers flop. Would be a career killer. So many are wisely passing on the project.

For directors I think the bigger issue is the Marvel machine. It’s become quite toxic but yes as you say the director holds the bomb if it flopps despite it mostly being some intern in the Disney offices who happened to be really into comic books when the industry nearly died.

I know he’s the internet’s boyfriend right now but I feel like Pascal would be a boring choice. He was just ok in Last Of Us. He’s at his best when he’s flamboyant.

It's Sue Storm-centric. The pool of recognizable actors willing to play second fiddle in a troubled franchise is probably pretty small.

 

I hope the Pedro Pascal rumor is not true but alas, it seems like there's a lot of smoke there and I could totally see him doing it for the paycheck. IMO, he's not attractive but I'm not sure how unpopular that opinion is. That whole thirsting over Oberyn Martell thing seems like a lifetime ago.

I read that Krasinski did not want to  tie himself to the long term commitment Marvel Studios wanted.

Adam Driver would have been an odd choice as well. I would just like to see Krasinski in the role again.

 

It really is weird when Adam Driver is a top choice for an attractive, charismatic lead. The dearth of 'stars' in their 30s is really beginning to bite.

Feige doesn't want MCU Reed to look like that Reed that got bitch slapped by Wanda.

[SpiderByte]

I hope it's him because it means the worst era of fancasts is over. Because dear God it was bad. Years, literally years, of Handsome Man, Random attractive blondes, teen hearthrob, and First Jewish Actor I Can Think Of

 

Edit: oh and also Ben got Random Tall Muscular Man. No, Terry Crews and Dwayne Johnson would not be good picks for Ben Grimm

C'mon, Dwayne Johnson is the most inspired casting for The Thing that ever existed.

The Rock is already going to be Maui in the live action Moana film. That's like the most brilliant casting EVER, and totally not Rock forcing Disney to get it made!

Probably because dude doesn’t have the time for it. Krasinski likes to make movies and being in a big franchise limits time for that so unless Feige was giving him control, it wasn’t going to happen.

[Krissykins]

I like Pedro but he’s overexposed at this point.

[keysersoze123]

Pedro is simply meh. Adam Driver would have been inspired. Jake Gylenhall is going safe route. He should have been considered like decade or so ago. 

[Bob Train]

Gyllenhall was already Mysterio though?

[WittyUsername]

I think Marvel should cancel Kang Dynasty at this point, but I don’t think there’s any need to cancel Thunderbolts or Blade at the moment.

It could work. It doesn't seem like Mysterio is coming back anyways. But it does seem like Pascal is the guy till further notice.
