Then he'll learn nothing from casting Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards and deep down, this is why they Cast RDJ as the villain DR. DOOM in the New F4 movie is because of name recognition. Funny how MARVEL had the perfect casting with John Krasinski in the role of Reed Richards in the DR. STRANGE sequel, but according to Feige, the reason Krasinski didn't get the role was and quote "It's simple and logical, another actor got the part" Yeah.. I'm sure that's the real reason Kevin Feige and nothing to do with Diversity.. Hell, I think I'm going to remake the movie "SHAFT" and use a white man in the role..

Kevin had nothing to do with the casting of Michael B Jordan as the Human Torch in the previous Fantastic Four movie.
That casting was down to Josh Trank and Fox when Trank made the previous movie, and Fox still owned the rights to the Fantastic Four.

That movie was released in 2015, and Disney purchased Fox in 2017.

Good to know. Still, this will be the 4th Fantastic 4 movie with the other 3 not exactly lighting the box office on fire, especially the last one

>> says the reason they cast RDJ as Dr. Doom is because of name recognition
>> criticizes the fact that Pedro Pascal got the part because of "diversity" while not realizing the fact that Kevin Feige gave Pedro the part because he's a huge name right now because BKB/KingBob/JoWilli is a stupid dumbfuck

Pedro Pascal is Reed Richards in this because Pedro Pascal is required to be in every other movie and TV show made.
