People are now openly asking John Krasinski about playing Richards
I feel like getting fancast or campaigning for a role tends to be what keeps actors from getting cast as those roles, but here you go:
Screen Rant: A lot of our fans at Screen Rant love the superhero stuff. You and Emily have both flirted with this for a little bit… any chance that you guys could be playing the Invisible Woman and Mr. Fantastic?
John Krasinski: Oh yeah, the Fantastic Four. I would love that! I mean listen, I’m still getting into the whole superhero thing. I didn’t read comics as a kid, not as many, I read some but not as much, but I’m a huge superhero fan so yeah, I’d love to do something like that. If they’re are any left, a lot of these have been taken but the ones that are left, yeah, I would love to do something like that. And listen, I’d love to work with her again so any chance I got would be great.

Grabbing John Krasinski to be the lead in a Fantastic Four film/franchise would be a pretty good snag for Marvel.
it definitely seems like they're leaving him out of art on purpose, non-coincidentally at this point
I'm amused by it way more than I have any right to be.
At this point, I'm expecting him to walk in at the end of the movie with a stack of pizzas only to find everything on fire, ala community.

Hawkguy will provide valuable strategies for defeating Thanos.

"He'll fare worse than he fared against the things he fared well against."
I'm sure that appiles to every character in Infinity War.

Marvel was asked by retailers about the insane .99 kindle sales happening every month or so, specifically why very recent collections, in one instance a 24.99 OGN being sold for .99 the week it came out, are being included as it makes it much harder for retailers to move product. Marvel says they have no involvement in the sales and that Amazon/Comixology are selling the comics they buy from Marvel at a loss. Marvel is attempting to reach out to Amazon but haven't heard back yet.
Retailers were skeptical, and also expressed that they won't buy Marvel trades if the sales don't stop.
As a customer, I like the sales cause I've gotten an insane amount of comics for like 15 bucks, but I get why creators and retailers would be upset. How can they try to sell anything if trades are gonna be available for less than a dollar immediately after coming out on Amazon?

I smell bullshit because a) why the fuck would Amazon get to set prices like that and b) is this happening for any other publisher?

Nope, DC hasn't had anything like this. Or Image.

I mean, what's more likely, Marvel making stupid, shortsighted decisions that also involve different departments not talking to each other, or Amazon begging for a lawsuit from Disney?

I mean this wouldn't shake anything
You can't compete with .99 the week of release
That's not a shake-up, that's killing the market and not just because of LCS or Diamond, that's just not a price point that sustainable at all for anyone on any level. Publisher, mass market retail, local shops, etc.

I would be completely fine if Marvel came crashing down if it also took out the distribution model as well.

DC, Dark Horse, Boom and Image aren't doing this
It ain't gonna collapse Diamond. All it does is piss off retailers and creators because their books are suddenly super under valued.
Cebulski admitted that the matter was something he expected to hear about, but said in response that “I don’t mean to pass the buck, but it isn’t something we did. We sell [Amazon/Comixology] the comics at the same price [we sell them to you]. Just like you offer discounts, they do the same.”
That said, CB admitted these sales were a concern. “It is undercutting all of you. It’s not fair. We are aware of it and are addressing it. It’s not a Marvel issue. It’s an Amazon policy that we are trying to get to the bottom of. I don’t want to pass the buck.”
As a follow up, a retailer stated that no one would want to order the $24.99 Marvel Knights reprints if they were going to appear that week on Amazon as a 99¢ Digital edition.
“The price is not being set by Marvel,” Cebulski reiterated.
Yeah that sounds like passing the buck to me, personally
These very regular sales aren't happening for any other publisher, despite all of them selling on Amazon/Comixology.
DC does sales too, but nothing like offering brand new or 2 week old trades for .99.
So either Amazon is just doing it with Marvel books for some unknown reason, Marvel has a really shitty deal with Amazon or Marvel is involved and making the sales happen
And, again, as a consumer it has been great for me. I got Simonson's run on Thor for less than two dollars. That's insane!
But it really fucking sucks for both retailers and creators, as retailers are now expected to try and compete with an incomparable, unsustainable price point and creators (who often have bonuses tied to sales thresholds of issues) are expected to try and hype up 3.99 issues of books that Amazon is gonna collect and sell for a buck in 5 months.

To sell more books. I'm not one to think Marvel particularly cares about the worth of the work. It's digital so it's not a loss really. And since Amazon gets a cut due to comiXology they aren't going to mind.

He's probably off doing something sneaky, but important
He would fare even worse against Thanos and his army than he did against Loki and his or the Ultrons
You mean the two armies he aquitted himself well against?
He even outsmarted Loki and knocked him out of the sky.
Edit: Also, Black Widow is going up against the same army.

But dang, new release comics at 99 cents an issue or something would be nice.

I actually had noticed Tony's dinged up arm and I think it's a cool touch
(And, as an aside, that's why the pricing for ebooks is so out of whack? I mean, $10 for a digital version of a paperback? No thanks.)
So, yeah, I don't think I believe Marvel here.
