Emma Stone not starring in 'Fantastic Four'
On the 20th (local time), American film media Cummingsoon reported, "Marvel Studios was offered the role of Sue Storm in 'Fantastic Four' and even negotiated an appearance fee, but in the end it fell apart."
According to reports, Marvel Studios proposed Emma Stone for the role of Sue Storm (Invisible Woman) in 'Fantastic Four' as the first casting in mind, but it was canceled due to problems with the appearance fee.
An official hinted, "Emma Stone knows her worth, so she asked for $20 million (about 26.3 billion won), but Marvel didn't seem to want to pay that much money for the casting of the rest of the cast." According to officials, there was a significant difference between Adam Driver's appearance fee for the role of Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic) and Emma Stone's requested appearance fee.
In the end, Marvel Studios failed to negotiate an appearance fee with Emma Stone, so Emma Stone could not be seen in 'Fantastic Four'. It is said that Margot Robbie was also a candidate for the role.
In 2017, according to Forbes, an American business magazine, Emma Stone was the highest-paid actress in the world. Emma Stone, who rose to stardom through 'La La Land', appeared in 'Battle of the Sexes' and received an appearance fee of 26 million dollars (about 29.6 billion won), and through the Netflix series 'Maniac', about 4 per episode. It is said that he was treated with billions of won.
Meanwhile, 'Fantastic Four' is the second film of phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and a live-action film produced by Marvel Studios. The original cartoon was released in 1961 and was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
