According to IMDB, Fox Movie Studios have found their new cast for the Fantastic Four. Miles Teller will be the leader of the Fantastic Four, Mr Fantastic/Reid Richards. Kate Mara will portray Sue Storm aka The Invisible Woman. Jamie Bell is expected to play The Thing/ Ben Grimm. Michael B Jordan is set to be the hot headed Johnny Storm/ Human Torch.
Jordan is the most controversial member of the casting. Johnny Storm is not an African American in the comic books. He is the brother to Sue Storm (later Richards). But Nick Fury is Caucasian in the comics and is portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson in the Marvel Avenger movies. Jackson has embodied the very soul of Nick Fury from the comics and no one is complaining about his role or how he is an African American.
Jordan will have to shine as Johnny Storm to win over some Fantastic Four fans. But if he brings it to the screen like Jackson has as Fury, then Jordan will silence the critics and the fans will embrace him.
