My reaction to the cast :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: variety.com/2014/film/news/miles-teller-kate-mara-fantastic-four-1201099921/After a final rewrite to the script and a long casting process, Fox looks to have assembled the team for its “Fantastic Four” reboot. Miles Teller, Kate Mara and Jamie Bell will join Michael B. Jordan in the latest installment in the comicbook franchise. Mara recently closed a deal to play play Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman. While no offer is out yet, Bell is expected to be tapped to play Ben Grimm/The Thing. Teller has an offer to play Reid Richards/Mr. Fantastic, but deal points are a little further away from being completed. Teller and Mara have been on Fox’s radar since they were expected to test in November — events that were pushed when Simon Kinberg came on for the last polish on the script. Bell came into the mix after Fox resumed screen tests. Jordan has been attached for some time to play Johnny Storm/The Human Torch. Based on the comic “The Ultimate Fantastic Four,” the contemporary update will focus on the characters as young men and women. Josh Trank will helm the pic with Kinberg, Matthew Vaughn and Gregory Goodman serving as producers. With its four leads on board, Fox will now try to find its villain and hopes to test a handful of actors in the coming weeks. “The Fantastic Four” is slated to bow June 19, 2015.  |

I find Michael B. Jordan to be very entertaining... but yep, I'm going to say it. Making Johnny Storm black is stupid.

I'm not even going to touch this...However I'm sure it can't be worse than the original movies, not sure that it'll be better either.

Why did they make the human torch black?

I'm not racist if I hate everybody equally.

Why did they make the human torch black? My best guess is that, just like putting Gwen Stacy in the new Spidey movies instead of MJ, they were looking for someone to shake up the audience and generate interest despite the fact that the reboot is coming so quickly after the previous movies. "Black Johnny Storm" is going to generate a lot of buzz. To me it's an odd choice not only because of the race swap, but because Michael B. Jordan has "franchise player" written all over him... so why cast him in an iconic role in a movie that's doomed to failure? If you're going to cast a kid with a world of potential in an iconic role, put him in a movie that has some chance of success. |

 At least the "Commish" isn't going to be the Thing and while they're at it why don't they get Peter Dinklage to play Reed Richards |

I find Michael B. Jordan to be very entertaining... but yep, I'm going to say it. Making Johnny Storm black is stupid. I agree, I liked him in Chronicle. The other male leads look like the mutant offspring of Richard Gere and Viggo Mortensen. But now how come you guys find it cheesy that a white comic book character is going to be played by the actor when everyone had a fit that I said the same exact thing about Electro? |

I don't mind Fox playing Electro. Mainly because he's blue in the movie. |

I don't like "race swaps," for characters, especially when they're done strictly for the purpose of generating interest in a character. Electro isn't as iconic as The Human Torch, but the same general principle applies. |

...I have absolutely no problem with superheroes having their race changed. Guarantee you would if it were an iconic black character being turned into a white character. Guarantee it. This whole "lets be colorblind" thing is ridiculous. Race should not be treated as an interchangeable and unimportant trait. Race is a part of someone's identity. Johnny Storm being white is no less part of who he is than being black is part of who Luke Cage is. |

I don't see why race shouldn't be any different from hair color, but sure, let's just go with whatever you say.
