South Stars x Marvel: If Lokesh Kanagaraj Directed Fantastic Four, Fantastic Four’s cast would look like this

With Fantastic Four about to re-enter the MCU with a female Silver Surfer and Galactus, we imagined a grittier, rawer version set in South Indian cinema, helmed by none other than Lokesh Kanagaraj. Here’s how the cosmic quartet, and their enemiesm would look in a Tamil-Telugu crossover blockbuster.

Suriya as Mr Fantastic (Reed Richards)
Sharp, layered, and emotionally burdened, Suriya could portray Reed as a man of science caught in a war for survival. Lokesh would give him depth and grey shades.

Nayanthara as Invisible Woman (Susan Storm)
Poised, commanding, and emotionally grounded, Nayanthara could lead the team with quiet intensity and a fierce sense of duty.

Vijay Devarakonda as Human Torch (Johnny Storm)
Reckless, charming, but secretly heroic, Vijay brings the exact kind of chaos and charisma Johnny Storm needs.

R. Madhavan as The Thing (Ben Grimm)
Ben Grimm needs pathos, strength, and pain…and Madhavan can deliver all three. His version would have a beautifully tragic backstory.

Prakash Raj as Galactus
Galactus isn’t just a villain — he’s a godlike presence. Prakash Raj could embody cosmic menace and intellectual depth, with that signature slow-burn anger.

Sai Pallavi as Silver Surfer
A perfect match. Sai brings ethereal presence and deep emotion to the role. She could portray the Silver Surfer as a fallen angel — graceful, guilt-ridden, and powerful beyond comprehension.
