20th Century Fox and director Josh Trank surprised a lot of people with their bold casting choices. Invisible Woman/Sue Storm will be played by House of Cards actress Kate Mara. Chronicle actor Michael B. Jordan is Johnny Storm/The Human Torch. The kid who couldn't stop dancing in Billy Elliot, Jamie Bell, is Ben Grimm/The Thing, and Whiplash actor Miles Teller is Reed Richards a.k.a. Mr. Fantastic. While the memories of Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, Michael Chiklis and Ioan Gruffudd from Tim Story's mediocre Fantastic Four franchise are still fresh in our minds it will be interesting to see Trank's take on these beloved Marvel characters.

Producer Matthew Vaughn weighs in:
"Its a total reboot, that's for sure. It's got nothing to do with the other bloody ones. It's not stretchy guy and a guy running around in rock that looks like it's made polystyrene. And its not a comedy."

If you go to the Fantastic Four archives, go through all the news from the last year and a half, you would realize (Excluding the bullshit rumors) that nothing about this movie sounds that bad.

Personally, this project is only lacking in the writing department (but not horribly, and Teller. Other than that it sounds awesome, can't wait!

Michael B Jordan could have been Luke Cage or Cyborg, but nooooooo! Let's have him be the Human Torch in a reboot of a shitty franchise that is only getting made so the rights won't revert back to Marvel!

Still not exactly sure why everyone is hating on the movie already...Is it really because so many of these Disney lovers can't accept a movie from a different studio?
