1. Adam Scott - Reed Richards

Given the MCU's success of bringing in major comedic actors to some pretty major roles - Paul Rudd, Chris Pratt and Jon Favreau - Adam Scott would be a similar revelation as Reed Richards/Mr Fantastic.

First of all, fans love him thanks to his iconic role as Ben Wyatt on Parks and Recreation (with Pratt) and he's recently had a chance to show off his dramatic talents with his role in Big Little Lies. Secondly, he just looks like he belongs. He looks intelligent and will be able to pull off the nerdiness of Reed Richards.

An intelligent and underrated actor, he needs a big role in order to cement himself as the great star he has the potential to be. If Marvel's track record continues with the Fantastic Four, there are few people who could pull off a role as multi-layered and ironic as a guy who literally calls himself Mr Fantastic. In any case, if it happens, we can say that two of Parks and Recreation's best characters are now badass superheroes.

Who doesn't want that?
