Casting The Fantastic Four In The MCU

3. Sue Storm - Emily Blunt

Perhaps the easiest (and admittedly most obvious) casting is for Sue Storm. There's been a clamouring for Emily Blunt to be given the role for a while now, with the idea gathering pace around the release of A Quiet Place.

It's easy to see why, because Blunt has everything required to be the leading lady in a superhero movie. Her roles in Edge of Tomorrow and Sicario prove that she can more than handle big action movies, her supporting turn in The Devil Wears Prada, where she gets so many of the best lines, shows off her comedic talent, and in A Quiet Place we see her as the maternal leader of the family who has to keep it together when everything's going wrong, remaining strong and determined for the sake of the others.

If all of that doesn't make for a perfect Invisible Woman, nothing will.
