There has been plenty of speculation among fans (and the staff of CinemaBlend, too), even before said acquisition, of who should be cast as this latest incarnation of Marvel’s first family, with John Krasinski for Mister Fantastic and his real-life wife Emily Blunt for Invisible Woman as common favorites, but no one seems to agree on who should play the crew’s incendiary member, Human Torch.
While it would require a slight uptick in Johnny Storm’s age, I genuinely believe that Joe Alwyn looks the part and it would also give the actor a chance to show off the charm that made Taylor Swift fall in love with him.
Of course, the arguably more anticipated event is when the Fantastic Four will finally join the MCU after three (technically four) lackluster big screen adaptations previously – yet another reason to be thankful for the Disney/Fox merger.
