Say hello to your new “Fantastic Four”;: Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell. FOX studios is reportedly finishing deals with the four actors to star in the 2015 reboot directed by Josh Trank.
The very first comic produced by Marvel Comic’s 1960s golden age featured a brilliant scientist, his pilot best friend, his equally brilliant scientist girlfriend and her wild card brother.
“Fantastic Four”; stormed into theatres in 2005 and starred Jessica Alba as The Invisible Woman, Ioan Gruffudd as Mr. Fantastic, Michael Chiklis and Ben Grimm as The Thing and Chris Evans as The Human Torch. Evans is the only one who has continued on his namesake, meow.
So what can “Fantatstic”; fans look forward to this time around?
Jordan, who will be playing the role of Johhny Storm aka The Human Torch has been involved with the project for a while. Comic purists were less than thrilled when the “Fruitvale Station”; star expressed his interest in the role a while back, but shouldn’t forget that the actor picked up multiple nominations for his work in the film and already has a solid on-screen bromance with Teller, who he starred alongside in “That Awkward Moment”;.
After a round of screen tests, “House of Cards”; star Kate Mara nabbed the role of Sue Storm aka The Invisible Woman, opposite Miles Teller who will be playing Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic. But the breakout star will only be cast if scheduling works out, since Teller is set to begin filming on the John Belushi biopic this spring.
The least known of the four up-and-coming actors is Jamie Bell, but he’s no big screen rookie. He’s starred in a slew of action films from “King Kong”; to “Jumper”; and broke onto the screen as Billy Elliot in the big screen adaptation. The actor is also one of the stars of Lars Von Trier’s “Nymphomaniac”;.
As is the case with most reboots, the film will be a modern update on the comic book and focus on the characters as young men and women. “The Fantastic Four”; is slated to hit theatres on June 19, 2015.
Just one question remains: Who will play the four’s arch nemesis, Dr. Doom?
