Watts seems a perfect pick for the MCU's take on the Baxter Building's most famous residents. Like Spider-Man, Marvel's First Family has had a rocky history in film, with their 2005, 2007, and 2015 films all critically panned. We won't even mention the unreleased 1994 film.
Hopefully Watts will be able to reinvigorate Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Benn Grimm in the same way he did Peter Parker. The Fantastic Four are prominent icons in Marvel's comics, and the prospect of them finally fighting alongside their longtime allies on film is thrilling.
