I don't know about a black Torch. I really like Jordan as an actor (and the director and him are good friends so no shock he gave Michael the job) but it will take some getting used to. I would guess they will say he is adopted or Sue's half sister? I agree with a lot of people that they really should have stayed true to the source material. The other 3 actors cast don't really interest me much. I do like Mara on House of Cards and Teller from The Spectacular Now but I think they could have got better people for the part. I think they should have cast Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street) as Sue Storm because she is hot, blonde, an it girl (basically the reason they cast Teller since he is a 'hot' actor atm), and she is as tall as Sue is in in the comics, 5 foot 6. Mara is 3 inches too short and she doesn't even look good blonde imo. This (and google is your friend if you want to see better pics I can't post here * *): Is better than this: For the record, I don't think Mara is not pretty, I just think Robbie is hotter and would have fit the role better. I guess the producers didn't feel that way though since Robbie was one of the final people in the running for Sue's role and Mara got it. Oh and if they make Dr. Doom a woman I'm going to be pissed! WTF that would be so stupid.. Robbie has Hollywood "it" girl written all over her too. She would have been perfect for the part. I personally would have liked to see someone cut from the Alex Pettfer mold play Johnny to make up the duo. I guess it's spilt milk at this point.

Michael B. Jordan is a great actor. I love his work. HOWEVER, this is a damn joke casting him as Human Torch. And his attitude towards people that are ticked about rewriting Johnny Storm as a black character, saying everyone who is bitching will just go see it anyway.....is poor. I wonder what you might think if they reboot The Cosby show and cast Liam Neeson as Cliff Huxtable. FF4 is white. Cosbys are black. NO....I dont want to see political correctness or marketing towards multiple races to change that. These characters were created to represent something. Leave it be.

Show me someone that says they don't wanna see that, and I'll show you a liar.

Nothing against the cast because they're good actors in their own right, but I would've preferred an older cast. With this cast, I would've had Bell play Torch and Jordan as Thing.

yeah....not a fan of Jordan's attitude here. I wont be seeing this one for sure.....Tranks attitude also sucks ass so they can cram it.
I really wish Jordan and especially Kate Mara has steered clear of this.

Yup, this movie was going to fail with or without them. Would've been better if it was without them.

For sure man......lots of folks seem to be forgetting that Trank outright denied all these casting rumors ina brutal rant not too long ago......just like he did with a female Doom. as I said earlier in this thread.....brace yourselves the worst may yet be about to hit.

Horrible casting. Just horrible. I was hoping this would be an epic reboot, but I've already lost interest.

I hope no one takes this the wrong way, but why do these people in Hollywood feel the need to cast black people as white characters? Is it to make them feel good about themselves? Obviously there's nothing wrong with casting an african-american actor in your movie, but why as a character that was created as a white person? I don't understand. It depends on whether the character's ethnicity is central to his/her character. For someone like Warpath or Black Panther, an adaptation couldn't alter their ethnicity without shaving off vital elements of the character. But it worked when Dean Cain, who is part Asian, played Superman due to Clark's alien skin only coincidentally resembling human Caucasian skin. Given that Torch's ethnicity isn't a big deal in the comics, I don't see a problem here. We've seen characters in different continuities have different racial makeups (ala Nick fury), so I don't see why it can't work on screen.

Didn't we JUST get a fantastic 4 movie? These comic/superhero movies are beyond out of control . It was cool at first but here we are 10 years later and they're still milking the crap out of it. How many remakes of a remake from this decade will we see??!? It's just so old. 10? Try 36 years. The Superman quadrilogy ended a couple of years before the Batman quadrilogy began. Batman's first series of movies ended a year before Blade hit the big screen and proved that there was fertile ground for comic book adaptations, even with lesser-known heroes. As long as people thirst for comic books, there will be adaptations following them.

I didn't mind the last FF movies, so I assumed Hollywood would take the good from those and learn from the bad. And I'm normally try not to complain about casting til after I see it but this is just horrible casting. They're way too young. Johnny isn't black. None have of them have that star appeal.
