Pity he was already Black Bolt, as Anson Mount would make a great Reed Richards.

The MCU has had a few cases of the same actor/actress returning for a different part. Especially with the multi-verse being a thing now. So who knows.....

Although I really wouldn't mind John Krasinski in the part.

I grew up reading FF in the 70s when Reed was more of a square-jawed barrel chested man of action (who happened to be a super genius) . Mount looks like he was drawn by Kirby or Buscema and inked by Joe Sinnott and his Pike isn't that far off from the kind of leader that was Reed during that run. That's the Reed I want to see.

I like Krasinski as an actor but his Reed would be more the post-Byrne introspective science doctor who went on adventures. I feel I've already gotten that with Teller and, to a lesser extent, Guffudd
 
The epic journey of master thespian/terrorist pawn Trevor Slattery is set to continue in Wonder Man.

I have to imagine Trevor getting the boot from Ta Lo as he's not necessarily a great fit. Will the charges against him be dropped? I think this casting speaks to the tone of what we can expect from Wonder Man, which is described as a "Hollywood satire". I can see Trevor making a lot of the straight video style movies just for the money. Will Simon Williams be a stunt player or a co-star in a Trevor Slattery movie?

Neil Gaiman proposed way back in 2007 a Dr. Strange film with Guillermo del Toro as the director set in the 1920s:

“So the idea is that he went through all of that [alcoholism, disbarment] and the training to become the world's greatest magician maybe in the early '30s, late '20s, and he's been living in Greenwich Village for 90 years looking the same in his place, and nobody really notices. We just sort of liked that idea, and he would have been sort of out of time. But other than that, it would have just been very sort of Steve Ditko because, you know, that's the best."
​
While I love what we got, I'm disappointed that we didn't get it even though I get the timing wasn't right for it in 2007.
 
I think the Cancerverse could be set up…too good of a hero who can heal goes wrong…I could see that as a threat ended by banishing death gods to that realm.

There might be a language barrier here since I'm Dutch and English isn't my native language, but I'm not really sure what you're trying to say here.
 
There's a comic storyline called The Thanos Imperative where an alternate universe, usually called the Cancerverse, invades the main universe. The cancerverse's point of divergence is that when Captain Marvel was about to die of cancer the heroes of Earth made a pact with elder gods from outside the universe to kill the Death. That meant that no one in the cancerverse could ever truly die and became weird lovecraftian abominations instead. It was quite creepy, in a good way. It also got revisited twice, once by Bendis in his early Guardians run (and the less said about that arc, the better), and once again by Jeff Loveness' short-lived 2017 Nova series (which at least got the mechanics of the cancerverse a bit more right).
