Marvel Is Making A Wish List Of Actors To Play Galactus

As soon as Disney and Marvel acquired the property rights for the X-Men and The Fantastic Four from 20th Century Fox, one of the biggest questions that I've had is whether or not they are going to go big and introduce Galactus into the MCU.  The last time it was done, FOX made Galactus out to be a big cloud, which was probably the dumbest thing they could have done.  I honestly believe that was the nail in the coffin for that franchise.

But now that Disney has the property under their Marvel brand, they have been secretly been putting a list together of potential actors that they want to play the Planet Killer.  While I'm sure that the list they have has more than two people on it, there are two names that have leaked out that they are supposedly focusing on.  The first one (and I hope that they don't pick this one) is Liam Neeson.  While I like his movies, I just don't think that he would be the best pick for this role.

The second name is a little more intriguing and I am leaning more towards this actor.  It's Mark Strong, who most recently appeared in Shazam! as Dr. Sivana.  He has also played Sinestro in the horrible Green Lantern movie that almost killed Ryan Reynold's career (thank you Deadpool!) so he's not a stranger to comic book movies, and he plays a really good villain.

Out of the two names that leaked, who would you like to see in the role of Galactus?  Who would you like to see as Galactus in general?  Let me know in the comments below or on the Comconoclast Facebook page.  While you're there, make sure you follow it for alerts and updates.
