He would have been really good in the role! Though it doesn't really surprise me that they wanted someone more bankable for the lead
I honestly think it's inevitable, just taking a bit of time. He'll blow up.
That's some bullshit, Rahul Kohli would have been great. Unfortunate for him he's less well known than Pedro Pascal.
Maybe it's for the best considering how shit Marvel movies have been lately. If F4 is a failure, it could ruin Kohli's chance to break into the mainstream like he deserves but Pascal would be fine.
pretty sure if Marvel got him to audition for Mr Fantastic then if should Gunn do Constantine in his DCU, he is for sure gonna get called up to audition at least. I hope he actually even gets the part, I can see him pulling off Constantine so well.
He was my #1 preferred Reed, that's for sure. Dude's talented and charismatic, it should only be a matter of time until either Marvel or DC scooped him up if they know what they're doing.
Oh shit, that would have been a killer casting. I didn't even know I wanted that until now.
Especially after reading about Srinivasa Ramanujan.
As a south Indian myself, the idea of a south Indian Reed is something I never considered, but really want now lol.

I was like, I never heard of that actor.
LOL
Dude's a fucking legend
I think I would've liked him in the role more than Pascal. I can't look at Pedro and see Mr. Fantastic, I just see all of his other parts.
Yeah, I think Rahul would have been great — honestly a better choice than Pedro Pascal. I know the Pascal is white hot right now and that's part of the reason they got him, but I think Rahul being younger than Pascal makes him a more interestig choice.
All that said, I do love that Marvel always had Reed in mind as a person of color —I believe Diego Luna was also in the running for Reed. It seems like they're presenting Reed and Sue as a 1960s interracial couple in the vein of Lucille Ball and Ricky Ricardo — but as a superhero couple. So that's cool.

The first 2-3 seasons of iZombie are great!
Then they let the metaplot take over. :(
