Yeah, not going to waste time in wishful thinking since the latest movie sucked, here's my idea for a Fantastic Four movie done right by Marvel Studios, lets get started.

Plot: More or less the same as the first Fantastic Four comic where the team already have their powers (their origins much like the Hulk's would be told in the opening credits via flashback) and this is their first real adventure, investigating the disappearance of one of Reed Richard's old colleagues in the Bermuda Triangle, thus leading them to Marvel's Monster Island and they find Reed's friend and some other captives who are prisoners of Mole Man who sends one of his monsters after the four, fearing that they'd tell the world of the island and bring more people there and he would once again be ridiculed and treated as an outsider as opposed to being a king of the natives of Monster Island and master to the monsters which leads a final battle in New York by the end of the film and one shot being a homage of the cover to the original comic.

Tone: I would like the tone to fit in with the MCU but still have it's own identity, taking influence from Indiana Jones, classic Star Trek, and Doctor Who minus the time and space travel (for this movie at least)

Cast and Characters-

Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic):
David Tennant- Yeah I know, he's not American and he's Scottish, but that's a small change, personality wise I was thinking something somewhat similar to how he was in the comics, being fascinated with anything science related like giant monsters for example that he'd tend to ignore the world around him for a comedic effect, but when he's focused, he's a good friend to Ben and Johnny and a lover to Sue, as well as a hero that will go above and beyond to help others

Ben Grimm (The Thing): Vin Diesel- Like with the Hulk I see the Thing being motion captured and since Vin is already playing Groot and possibly Black Bolt, why not give him a role where he can speak more than three words, and it's not like Vin cant play the kind of character I see Ben being, kind of like Hellboy where he's sarcastic and doesn't give a damn, but only uses that persona to cover up the pain he feels for looking the way he does

Sue Storm (Invisible Woman): Charlize Theron- She's a great actress, mature looking and beautiful, not to mention she can play the role of someone who's intelligent as well as drop dead sexy, unlike say Jessica Alba, also I feel she can play off of David Tennant's Reed very well

Johnny Storm (Human Torch): Andrew Garfield- Yeah, why not him, I mean he did do a good job as Spiderman, he managed to capture the wise cracking joker side to Spidey, and that's pretty much Johnny, plus it'd be funny that two of the main characters in the MCU both at one time played Marvel characters for other studios

Harvey Elder (Mole Man): Peter Dinklage- For this movie I don't want Doctor Doom to be the first villain the Four come across, so why not have them face the first villain the fought in the comics, and for that we need an actor who is phenomenal, that's why I pick Peter Dinklage, he can be serious, funny, sympathetic, even intimidating, everything I feel would be needed for Mole Man

And that's my idea for what Marvel can do with a Fantastic Four movie, you guys like it or hate it, comment below and let me know

Maybe change the choice for Reed, given Teenant's in Jessica Jones as Kilgrave, but otherwise, pretty good.  Keep up the good work.:)
