10 Ways Marvel Could Introduce Fantastic Four Into MCU
4. Johnny As One Of Peter Parker’s Classmates
Johnny Storm and Peter Parker are around about the same age, and and often shown to be friends and allies in the comics, so it makes sense that they’d be the first two to meet. Having Johnny in Peter’s class could let us get to know him as a person first, before anything fantastic happens to him.
Though Mr. Fantastic is more popular on the page, the Human Torch has been far and away the breakout star of the movies. Both Chris Evans and Michael B. Jordan did so well in the role they were given a second shot at superhero stardom by Marvel, becoming the MCU’s Captain America and Erik Killmonger respectively.
Another young up and comer (Timothée Chamalet, Dacre Montgomery, John Boyega, Tye Sheridan...) could continue this blistering hot streak the Human Torch is on, although hopefully the rest of the cast will bring their A-game this time too, along with a better plot.
Peter has learned from the best in Tony Stark, but with Universal owning Miles Morales, the chance of him growing into a mentor seemed slim; introducing Johnny as a classmate could give him that opportunity to shine as a more mature hero.
