I like all the actors that have been cast here AF.....but yeah they are horribly miscast for this movie-HORRIBLY. Jordan was a guy I really liked.....but his smug attitude about his casting turned me right off him...... Trank gave Jordan the part of Johnny Storm because they are buddies.....and warped the entire FF premise to suit this f*cked up casting. He can come up with all the excuses he wants but that's the fact of the matter in my book. I'm a real stickler for trying to keep things as authentic as possible, and seriously the casting of a black guy for Johnny is by far the worst time they've done this. At least when they've changed race in the past it hasn't actually changed the tone and meaning of the character (and the team). If he wasn't given the part because he's best buddies with Trank and had auditioned and they were like "Hey he'd be great for the role." or that Jordan wasn't a prick about the race change and just reassured people it would still be good. I wouldn't have a problem with it. But he didn't audition and he's been a prick about it so em.

I swear everytime Trank(and the columnists who support him) starts on about diversity, freshness and streamlining I swear they are writing a TV ad for f*cking Tampons not an FF movie.

What I really don't understand is that this property has become popular enough as it was in the comics, and whatever other media to get a film.... So why the hell would you completely change the formula of what made it successful enough to get a film in the first place? And some of the things said on twitter about this and Ghostbusters just completely makes me lose hope in humanity.

Might give FF a watch if I'm getting an itch for a Marvel movie later in the year, seeing as Avengers/Ant Man are really close together then there's nothing besides FF until Deadpool next February

NEVER.

Sincerely, Me I really wish MS and Universal(who have worked together before) had got their finger out over Sub Mariner. I wanted him in cineplexes before Aquaman ideally. Because now everyone will think he is a ripoff when he isn't.

Couldn't Marvel sue Fox over this Fantastic Four movie for damaging their asset? I think they'd have a damn good case.

And I prefer Aquaman over Namor. Just a preference. Love Quinto though.

Wonder what kind of reaction we'd see if Marvel cast Matt Damon to play Blade?

It would make sense for them to have that in the contracts as Marvel has that clause in the contract for Universal Orlando. Unfortunately Universal Orlando hasn't misused the property so for now Disney World will only have the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Wonder what kind of reaction we'd see if Marvel cast Matt Damon to play Blade? Absolutely. Most of the people I see praising the decision to cast a black storm (and did the same with blelectro) are in fact black themselves, there's a horrific double standard in place. I remember that there were complaints that Halle Berry wasn't "black enough" to be Storm. (Just imagine the outrage if they cast a white MLK in a movie). I've always said, I don't want a black (in this case Johnny Storm) any more than I want a white blade, a Korean Cyclops, a dwarf playing Colossus or a dog playing Captain America. I didn't even really like Evans' Johnny having brown hair. Couldn't Marvel sue Fox over this Fantastic Four movie for damaging their asset? I think they'd have a damn good case.

I actually had to explain to a "comic book fan" on another forum why Jordan/Storm and Fury/Jackson are different..... People be crazy!!

Love Quinto though. Quinto is a fine choice.....I actually like Namor & Aquaman 50/50......I'm excited to see how both could turn out

Well in all fairness, Fury is black in the comics at least, and the reason they changed him was specifically to base him on Sam L. Jackson, who obviously played him in the films. So yeah, the Jordan/Storm thing is on a completely other level!

But I schooled him pretty good.....totally different situations like......precedent for one....the other? A thinly veiled excuse to cast his buddy.
