MCU Fantastic Four: 10 Lessons Disney Need To Learn From Fant4stic

5. Chemistry Between The Actors

Fant4stic's acting was nowhere near stellar and this might be due to the actors not melding together nicely as a team.

Firstly, when Miles Teller (Reed Richards) and Kate Mara (Sue Storm) shared the screen we didn't feel the potential for a flourishing and believable relationship between the two.

Secondly, Kate Mara's and Michael B. Jordan's (Johnny Storm) performances didn't elicit a sibling's bond.

And lastly, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell (Ben Grimm) butting heads over what their team name should be felt stale and therefore forced.

In order to evoke that team dynamic the casting would need to be explored thoroughly and tested before shooting. The MCU's hiring agents would need to anticipate if the actor's personalities would clash or reproduce the comic book family on set.

This is why most fans are making edits of the real-life couple Emily Blunt and John Krasinski managing the shoes of Fantastic's Four famous married duo.

But it's not only the four that need special attention.

They'd want to avoid the arguing between actor and director that supposedly happened between Josh Trank and Miles Teller, in rumours sprouted online. Everyone would need to embody their role and mesh well as a unit.
