The comic book series follows four individuals--Reed Richards--Mr. Fantastic (Miles Teller), Sue Storm --The Invisible Girl (Kate Mara), her brother Johnny Storm--The Human Torch (Jordan), and Ben Grimm The Thing (Jamie Bell) who gained superpowers after exposure to cosmic rays during a scientific mission to outer space.
The origin story will probably be changed slightly to explain how the Caucasian Mara and African-American Jordan could be related - the most likely explanation is that one of them is adopted.
Jordan properly addressed the criticisms attending an event in Rome. Cinefilos.it recorded Jordan's reaction on video.
Here's the quote:
"It was expected. You kinda know going into it that people are used to seeing something one way, it's a continuity thing more than anything. People don't like change too much. But annoyed? Eh, you just kinda accept it, it is what it is. You can't make everybody happy. You just gotta accept that and know. I'm an actor, I have to do my job. I'm going to do my job the best I can and the way I've been doing it my entire life, my entire career. I grew up a comic book guy, I read comic books as a kid growing up, and the Fantastic Four/Human Torch is one of my favorite characters so I'm going to give it my everything. I can't wait. I don't really let it bother me at all. I just want to go into it and do the best job I can. We'll see what happens. The Human Torch is, y'know, that's fun. That's going to be a good time...To play a superhero? That's dreams coming true. It's not going to be hard. It's going to be fun to kind of show a side of me that I don't really get to show on screen, to be a little bit lighter, funnier, just more personality. It's going to be fun."
I say again Bravo!!
Here's the video of what Jordan said.
Saoirse Ronan ("The Host") Margot Robbie "Girls" star Allison Williams were rumored to be circling Invisible Girl last year. Samira Wiley also denied Sue chatter. Mara and Emmy Rossum were said to have both tested for Sue Storm; Christian Cooke is was eyed for Grimm. Actor Josh Gad was rumored as well but that talk was denied via Twitter
No names have been mentioned for the role of the bad guy yet. The film's bad guy is most likely Doctor Doom but that the masked villain is being written as though the character is a female has been denied...Julian McMahon played the character as Victor Von Doom in the previous big screen incarnations
Simon Kinberg ("Sherlock Holmes," "X-Men: Days of Future Past") recently finished scripting duties. Jeremy Slater was hired to pen the previous script draft.--that Seth Grahame-Smith polished. Michael Green ("Green Lantern") also wrote a draft as well.
"Chronicle" director Josh Trank is set to helm the pic.
"X-Men: First Class" and "Kick-Ass" director Matthew Vaughn signed on to produce the reset
The leads were previously portrayed by Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis. The first Fantastic Four in 2005 and its sequel 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer in 2007--both helmed by Tim Story--grossed $620 million despite awful reviews (I liked em both!)
Fox wants to restore some credibility and quality to the property, that is currently targeting a June 19th 2015 release. Vancouver has lost out on the shoot for the upcoming reboot. The film's production will now take place in Louisiana due to tax incentives in place.
