Samira Wiley Addresses Rumors That She'll Be Playing 'Sue Storm' In THE FANTASTIC FOUR
Orange is the New Black's Samira Wiley has apparently been linked to the role of 'Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman' in Josh Trank's The Fantastic Four, and the actress addresses those rumours here and reveals whether or not she's spoken to anyone involved with the reboot. Check it out!
With Michael B. Jordan set to play Johnny Storm/The Human Torch in The Fantastic Four, fans have been wondering whether or not Fox would find an African American actress to play his sister, Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman. However, with three very white and very blonde actresses in the mix, it seems unlikely. Samira Wiley is another name that has been doing the rounds online though, and Latino-Review caught up with her to ask whether or not there are any truth to the rumours. "I saw the articles on the internet with my name being thrown in the mix and I’m super surprise, honored and excited about it. Just having my name be there and the possibility of that would be amazing. It’s nice to have my name in that mix with all those wonderful actress." As for whether or not she's audition as of yet, Wiley added, "No, not as of yet but hopefully we can see what’s going on with that. It would be amazing and the fact that we are talking about it shows how far we have come. That I can even dream about being an African American actress in 2013 and what the possibilities are and thankful to everyone that has come before me." What do you guys think?
