Look, I'll be honest: they should get Benedict Cumberbatch as Mr Fantastic.
Only problem there is that they wouldn't be able to find a Dr Doom that could be his equal. Not unless they went with Andrew Scott (who, while terrific, I wouldn't qualify nearly as Doom-level menacing).
I like Benedict Cumberbatch but he doesn't exactly conjure an idea of warmth or joy that should ideally be at the core of Reed.
Reed is a family man who has a big, sometimes foolish heart.
And ideally they should just Darth Vader the whole portrayal of Dr. Doom and have Christopher Waltz provide the voice.
oh wow thats a good idea
I do like the idea of never showing Doom's face.
He always did look a bit silly underneath it.
Only problem is they would need to show him pre-burn, either flashback or realtime.
Nah, just always hide his face during flashbacks. Do it like the Twilight Zone episode The Eye of the Beholder.
I'm fine with that, but it reminds me of reports I've read that producers require their masked actors to show their faces after X amount of time. It's why Spider-Man lost his mask during the battle in Spider-Man 2.
No idea if that's true, but well...Hollywood.
I don't think that's a rule.

The dude who plays Jaime Lancaster on Game of Thrones (he was also in Headhunters), he would be a good Doom.
In Headhunters he's got a deeper voice and he plays "controlled powerful guy who thinks he has it all figured out" very well.
They should just have Charlize Theron play Sue, though tbh I'm guessing they're aiming for someone slightly younger simply for 10yr franchise potential. Charlize Theron 7 years ago at age 30 would have been circumstantially perfect. I think she's perfect for almost anything though :-P
But then she can't be Captain Marvel. Well, she can (See Evans, Chris), but ...

It's because they were selling it as a Tobey Macguire movie, so they wanted people to actually see Tobey's face. Plus his agent probably exaggerated how important it was because that's his job. And the cycle spins on from there.
Kevin Bacon is twelve years-older then Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.
But yeah, Bacon is a bit old for such an active role.
Twelve years is quite a lot for an actor in my opinion. And Bacon very much looks his age, just look at The Following. Nikolaj still looks pretty damn young and handsome

There are exceptions. Karl Urban was happy to hide his face for Dredd and Hugo Weaving for V for Vendetta.

I can see Waltz. He's good at cultured but going to kill you brutal.
Cumberbatch as Reed, though? Not from what I've seen. Reed is the guy who wants to explain everything to you because he's so excited, and he assumes you can keep up. Just in love with science.
Cumberbatch plays detached, analytical. Also, usually miserable.
Sherlock Holmes is the man who is always bored because of his genius. Reed Richards is the man who is never bored because of his genius.
OBVIOUSLY the siblings will be Andrea and Andreas von Strucker.
Well, that's one way to avoid the twincestuous undertones.
Avoid means to make more obvious, right?
Funny thing - after the Ultimates comics came right out and had Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch totally banging while Wolverine watched, there was a story in Thunderbolts involving a newly resurrected Andrea joining the team, which already included Andreas. There was a scene where Andreas shows her to his quarters and mentions he'll be sleeping in a separate bed. "That'll surprise [everyone]. They don't think I've heard the vile things they say about why I wanted you back."
Almost certain the writer did that after reading the Ultimates book and deciding 'Nope! Implying is one thing, outright sibling fucking shall never occur with this pair."

He should be somewhat exotic in flair.
Wasn't that independently made?

Patrick Stewart could do a Darth Vader voice/body type of thing with someone else, but he's probably tied up with DOFP.
Nope.

And can command a scene like its his fucking job.
Kevin Bacon is waaay too old

Go the Vader route—add his voice in ADR. Like you all said, he shouldn't be seen without the mask anyway.
It's because they were selling it as a Tobey Macguire movie, so they wanted people to actually see Tobey's face. Plus his agent probably exaggerated how important it was because that's his job. And the cycle spins on from there.
I don't know. Then again, it's been years since I've seen him in anything. And the last thing I know I saw him in was Beverly Hills Cop 2.

UFF were in their teens, not twenties.

Well I mean, that's why you hire an actor.

Why I fear the ocean.
