Fantastic Four Reboot Casting: 5 Actors That Would Make It Perfect

1. Reed Richards: Lee Pace

Lee Pace isn€™t a relatively well known actor, but that€™s just what would make him right for this role. This could really open people€™s eyes up to just how great an actor he is. If you want to be convinced watch Soldier€™s Girl, in which he portrays a transgender woman dating a male Army soldier. It€™s a fantastic performance, one that garnered Pace many awards a critical acclaim. Additionally, The Fall, is another film that showcases Pace€™s range. Pace has the look of Reed Richards; a tall lanky appearance coupled with the look of a generally intelligent man. He is Reed Richards. I think Pace could easily capture the personality of Richards; an over-thinking intellectual who€™s fascinated by the scientific effects of a situation, so much so that he almost forgets there is a problem in the first place. With his considerable acting chops, Pace could transform or create his own Richards. Many actors put a spin on their characters. Also, for those who expect a little comic relief in superhero films, which is natural in today€™s comic book films, Pace won an Emmy for his comedic role in Pushing Daisies. He could add a light heartedness to Reed. He€™s also set to appear in Peter Jackson€™s The Hobbit as well as the entire trilogy. Notable Mention: David Tennant Paul Bettany
