So just for a fresh start with my recast of Fantastic 4, I'm using my alt account to start off better than my original casting. I'm not expecting this to be an MCU film but something better than the MCU. And I'm also going to be tackling quite a few smaller actors who actually do need to star in a big and we could get a little bit of bigger actors as well. And to make it brief here, I want this story to start off where Reed Richards and Victor von Doom went to college together but weren't roomates. He was convincing Doom to help him with his experiment of cosmic energy. The crew including astronaut Ben Grimm, researcher Sue Storm, and pilot Johnny Storm are exposed to a mysterious cosmic storm that where it took place at the space of the Galaxy when they were taking on von Doom's nation and the power were bestowed by Doom's revenge. So this summary here is mostly about all four who decided to use their powers to better humanity and founded the Fantastic Four. They are not superheroes in the traditional sense, but rather explorers, facing whatever challenges that may arise as a family. So with that being said, let's get to casting.
