DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Speculation Heats Up After FANTASTIC FOUR Star Michael B. Jordan Shares Movie's Trailer

DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Speculation Heats Up After FANTASTIC FOUR Star Michael B. Jordan Shares Movie's Trailer DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Speculation Heats Up After FANTASTIC FOUR Star Michael B. Jordan Shares Movie's Trailer

Before playing Black Panther's Erik Killmonger, Michael B. Jordan took on the role of the Human Torch in 2015's Fantastic Four. Is he now teasing a possible return to the role in Deadpool & Wolverine?

When the news broke that rising star Michael B. Jordan had been cast in Josh Trank's Fantastic Four reboot as the Human Torch, the response was mixed. There were, unfortunately, the usual racist complaints, while some comic book readers simply didn't like the fact Sue and Johnny Storm wouldn't be blood-related. 

Ultimately, the 2015 reboot was a mess which ended up being a mix of Trank's original dark vision for Marvel's First Family and studio-mandated reshoots leading to a messy second half full of suspect wigs and CG-heavy action.

The Fantastic Four cast managed to recover, with Jordan going on to star in movies like Creed, Black Panther, and Without Remorse. Could he now be gearing up to return as the Torch in Deadpool & Wolverine?

Many fans are convinced he's hinting at exactly that after recently sharing the movie's latest trailer to his Instagram Stories

He could simply appreciate a sneak peek at what looks set to be one of the summer's biggest and best movies. However, considering the fact Ryan Reynolds originally wanted Jordan and Jamie Bell to suit up as the Human Torch and The Thing in Deadpool 2, a cameo surely isn't off the table. Artwork for the sequel has also shown Miles Teller's Mister Fantastic and Kate Mara's Invisible Woman. 

Rumours are swirling that Chris Evans will play his Human Torch Variant in Deadpool & Wolverine, meaning it's possible we'll see these two Johnny Storms share the screen as soon as this summer. 

It would be unwise to put too much stock in this, but Jordan has never shied away from returning to the MCU despite his role in Black Panther as Erik Killmonger looking like a one-and-done. He reprised the role in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and lent his voice to a Variant of the villain in What If...?

Do you think we'll see Jordan return as the Human Torch in Deadpool & Wolverine?

The 2015 Foxtastic Four is the second worst casting of all time after the Snyder JL cast

@HermanM -As you had asked me on Friday, I wouldn't mind if they made Johnny Storm white. I don't think race matters here.

@DrReedRichards - I feel like they could have worked Ultimate FF style but as it was , they didn’t

I genuinely still feel like Teller could be a decent Maker.

@TheVisionary25 -

Hot take: I really, REALLY don't like Miles Teller. I personally find him unbearable, and I feel like a lot of the audience's appreciation for him comes from his not-performance in Whiplash, where he legit shat his pants over JK Simmons' ACTUAL acting, and people thought those tears were acting talent.

As for the movie, disregarding the teenagers going into an alternate dimension (1610) rather than adults heading into outer space (616), Trank clearly wanted to create a Ruins adaptation moreso than a Marvels one. Literally unwatchable stuff.

@DrReedRichards - I always saw Miles Teller as the new Vince Vaughn
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 4/29/2024, 7:29 AM
@DrReedRichards - I’m not a big fan of his either but I still thought he did well in Whiplash or Top Gun Maverick

What’s weird I can’t really see him as Regular Reed but he just has the right douchiness to play The Maker lol
DrReedRichards
DrReedRichards - 4/29/2024, 7:32 AM
@TheVisionary25 -

I get ya. I can see him as the Maker too, thanks to said douchiness. I guess I'll have to begrudgingly roll with it, if it happens, lol.

NGL, how Vince Vaughn became a thing is beyond me.

@DrReedRichards - my actual choice for The Maker though is Matt Smith so [frick] Miles Teller if that happens lol

Matt Smith or Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Michael B. Jordan for Storm.

@harryba11zack - Idk man although he's a good actor, his voice doesnt have that power behind it. Like if he was like "Do NOT anger me." It wouldn't feel threatening enough coming from him. Now, Timothée Chalamet, I can get behind that.

The dudes a big geek himself so he could just be excited for the film but i wouldn’t be surprised if he’s in it aswell…

Seeing him and Evans’s Johnny together would be cool admittedly but it’ll be funnier I feel if all the rumors of the latter being in this are untrue and we just get MBJ’s version…

As much as i didn’t like Fant4stic , I thought he did as well as he could with the material he had so i wouldn’t mind seeing him again.

The set pieces look cheap already. The only thing that is left to hope for is a good story. The cameos are a given and rumored to death so no excitement there for me.

@JobinJ - Marvel throwing all the money to the actors desperately hoping that the easily swayed will be happy with the nonstop cameos.

Love MBJ but the one person they need to bring back from Fant4stic is Miles Teller as The Maker.

POSSIBLY Kate Mara as Kang.

Fant4stic was not a superhero origin movie. It was a supervillain origin movie.
