FantasticFour

We’ve known for a while now that Michael B. Jordan will play Johnny Storm/The Human Torch in Fox’s upcoming reboot of The Fantastic Four, but now the other three members of the team have been revealed following a final rewrite of the script and a lengthy casting process.

According to Variety, House of Cards star Kate Mara has signed on to play Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, while Jamie Bell (Defiance) is expected to soon agree to join the Josh Trank helmed movie as Ben Grimm/The Thing. Miles Teller (The Spectacular Now) has officially been offered the role of Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, and it’s likely that his deal will be completed soon.

With Simon Kinberg, Matthew Vaughn and Gregory Goodman serving as producers, the next step for the studio is to find an actor (or actress?) to play the villainous Doctor Doom. The plan now is to test a handful of actors over the next few weeks.  

This take on “Marvel’s First Family” will likely be based on the Ultimate version of the characters as that series also portrayed them as being in their late teens/early 20’s. The Fantastic Four is set to be released on June 19th, 2015.
