*Disclaimer* The ages reflected in these Breakdowns represent what the actor’s age would be by the end of this month: May, of 2021.

*Disclaimer* For this only two very specific group of performers have been ruled out: Performers who have already played these characters and Performers who have played a role in an MCU Film. While I don’t believe I’ve used anyone who’s appeared in any of the MCU Disney + Series, I have used Actors who’ve appeared in the Netflix Marvel Series as well as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., because frankly the canonicity of these shows are in question and highly suspect.

Sue Richards/Invisible Woman [Height: 5’ 6”, Age: 30’s-40’s]: Dr. Susan "Sue" Richards (née Storm), aka the Invisible Woman, is an American superpowered adventurer. She was a college student before she was exposed to high levels of cosmic radiation when boyfriend and scientist, Dr. Reed Richards, took her with her younger brother, Johnny Storm and pilot Ben Grimm, into space in the stolen rocket Marvel-1. The radiation mutated her and her friends, turning her invisible and allowing her to create forcefields. Together they became the Fantastic Four, a team of adventurers who explored space, time and alternate dimensions and saved the world along the way from science-based threats.

                Rashida Jones [Height: 5’ 4”, Age: 45, Notable Works: The Office, Parks and Recreations, On the Rocks]: No doubt an odd and possibly controversial choice, Rashida Jones is a strong and fun actress. She’s got a lot of the energy I look for in casting Sue, and she has the comedic range and the emotional range to play such an emotionally demanding role. Seeing her do something different than she’s typically done and putting her in an action heavy role would be a great way to expose her range as an actress and put a spotlight on her talent.

                Michelle Monaghan [Height: 5’ 7”, Age: 45, Notable Works: Mission: Impossible (Franchise), Source Code, Saint Judy]: One of my favorite actresses and someone who should have been in the MCU a long time ago. She’s an actress that has every bit the warmth and charm that Sue has. She has that presence to her that would make her a natural glue holding the team together. Her work as an actress has really gone through many ranges, making her a true asset to the MCU.

                Jessica Chastain [Height: 5’ 4”, Age: 44, Notable Works: Molly’s Game, Sloane, X-Men: Dark Phoenix]: She’s a wonderful actress. She’s been wanted for a number of roles, and she’s open to doing a comic book movie only if she wasn’t the damsel in distress. I can’t blame her, she’s an actress she wants something to do. A role she’s perfect for is Sue, she’s very much intelligent and confident enough to really play this character. She was phenomenal in Interstellar and it absolutely convinced me she was perfect for Sue. Giving her a character that has such deep roots with the team and giving her something to do, she would be absolutely perfect.

                January Jones [Height: 5’ 6”, Age: 43, Notable Works: Mad Men, X-Men First Class, Spinning Out]: While many didn’t find her to be a good Emma Frost, she’s still a top caliber actress. She has a stunning string of great performances and has the look of the character. She’s got the presence to play the role and give it every bit the vim and vigor to be iconic in the role.

                Rose Byrne [Height: 5’ 6”, Age: 41, Notable Works: Insidious (Franchise), X-Men (Franchise), Instant Family]: Rose is a terrific actress. Between her work in X-Men and Instant Family she’s shown to play intelligent and peaceful characters that can work in the constant moving family dynamic. She’s got the presence, talent, and look to play the role perfectly and she has the right appeal as an actress for such a role. There’s no doubt she’s perfect for the role.

                Rachel Nichols [Height: 5’ 10”, Age: 41, Notable Works: G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, Titans, Breach]: A great actress that just hasn’t really been given her due. She’s got all the talent, look, and presence for such a role and she has the heart to really play the role and stand out as a face for the MCU, which is an important aspect for Sue. She’s a great actress who is primed and ready for such a part.

                Abbie Cornish [Height: 5’ 8”, Age: 38, Notable Works: Sucker Punch, Solace, Jack Ryan]: She’s one of few actresses who is just always great in whatever she does. She’s never a weak link and she’s always great in her work. After seeing her in Jack Ryan she really presented the presence and the attitude perfect for playing a character like Sue and there’s no doubt she would be as ideal for the role as the rest of the best MCU Casting.

                Maggie Grace [Height: 5’ 9”, Age: 37, Notable Works: Taken (Trilogy), Lockout, Fear the Walking Dead]: She's given consistently great performances, she's really came out of her shell. I think she has a lot of potential. She has the look and could easily play a very Intelligent and scientific iteration of Sue as displayed like the Ultimate Fantastic Four version. There's no doubt she would play this role wonderfully.

                Felicity Jones [Height: 5’ 3”, Age: 37, Notable Works: The Amazing Spider-Man 2, The Theory of Everything, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story]: She’s a strong actress who was given a painful amount of nothing to do in Spider-Man, and her work in Rogue One gave her a lot to do and let her have fun. She’s shown to be a great actress and she’s got the ability to be more fun and in-line with what tone the MCU has shifted too. There’s no doubt she could play the comedic elements cool and keep up with the action while giving Sue all the heart in the world.

                Anna Kendrick [Height: 5’ 2”, Age: 35, Notable Works: Twilight (Franchise), Pitch Perfect (Trilogy), Stowaway]: Definitely one of those choices that stands out for such a role. She has every bit the heart and comedic element to play the role in a family driven Fantastic Four, and it would be exciting to see her break into action. She might be a hard sell for most but she’s perfect for Marvel and would flawlessly execute the role without question.

                Jessica McNamee [Height: 5’ 6”, Age: 34, Notable Works: The Vow, The Meg, Mortal Kombat]: She was good in Mortal Kombat and showed she can do both Comedy and Action. She’s proved herself to be a good actress and is a talent that can be nurtured into the role to be the perfect vision of the character. She has the look, the talent, and the physicality to take on such a role and would certainly continue the MCU tradition of being the character from the comics brought to life.

  Emmy Rossum [Height: 5’ 8”, Age: 34, Notable Works: The Day After Tomorrow, Poseidon, Shameless]: A much stronger actress than many give her credit for, she’s done action and family heavy roles and has been a highlight in her work. She’s got a way of generating natural chemistry with anyone and still remains one of the most versatile performers working. Putting her in a role like Sue plays to a lot of her strengths and lets her explore family-comedy in a more natural way. She’s a great actress and has every bit the instinct and the heart for the role.

                Danielle Panabaker [Height: 5’ 6”, Age: 33, Notable Works: Sky High, The Flash, Christmas Joy]: I love Danielle as an actress. She’s got a knack for playing wonderful and easily likable but complex characters. She’s got the charm and the presence to present a sense of wisdom and compassion in her work that makes her a perfect candidate for Sue. She’s used to the environment of a Superhero world and putting her in the action gives her so much to do and lets her really get more in tune with her characters. She’s captured hearts since Sky High and there’d no doubt she would be a welcome force to join the Fantastic Four as the Invisible Woman.

                Emma Stone [Height: 5’ 6”, Age: 32, Notable Works: The Amazing Spider-Man (Duology), La La Land, Cruella]: She’s really the perfect actress for Marvel to go for. She’s an Oscar winning actress who’s worked with them before, though never in the MCU, and has the look and talent to play the character. She’s absolutely fantastic as an actress and would really stand out in the role. She’s got all the hallmarks to play a perfect Sue.

                Emma Roberts [Height: 5’ 2”, Age: 30, Notable Works: We’re the Millers, Nerve, The Hunt]: A great actress who’s really made a name for herself through comedies and indie films. She’s got the talent and the look for the role, standing out as a prime choice to really blossom the franchise for a number of years. There’s no doubt she could stand out as a face of the franchise, every bit on par with whoever is cast as the other members of the four.

                Sophie Turner [Height: 5’ 9”, Age: 25, Notable Works: Game of Thrones, X-Men (Franchise), Heavy]: A wonderful actress who was wildly underutilized in the X-Men Movies. She’s got great talent to her and is a perfect for a younger, franchise lasting team. She’s got the look, the tone, presence, and the talent to play the perfect Sue.
