20th Century Fox has reportedly chosen their new Fantastic Four.
According to Variety, long-rumored contenders Miles Teller (Divergent), Kate Mara(House of Cards), and Michael B. Jordan (Chronicle) officially have offers to play Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, and Human Torch, respectively, while Tintin and Nymphomaniac actor Jamie Bell is the studio's pick to play the Thing.
The new Fantastic Four: Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell & Michael B. Jordan.
The trade says there's no offer out to Bell yet, but he's "expected" to accept the role. Variety says "Bell came into the mix after Fox resumed screen tests."
The hunt is now on for an actor to play the villain, which prior reports claim will be the FF's arch-nemesis Doctor Doom. Actors are expected to be tested for the villain role within the next few weeks.
Variety also says this reboot will be based on the Ultimate Fantastic Four series from Marvel Comics. Josh Trank will direct from a newly revised script by Simon Kinberg.
The Fantastic Four opens June 19, 2015.

‘Fantastic Four’ Actors FINALLY Revealed

The wait and the director twitter fake denials are finally over. The Fantastic Four reboot finally rounded out it’s cast. My boy Jeff Sneider over at The Wrap bagged the exclusive and is reporting that Kate Mara got the offer to play Sue Storm, Michael B Jordan will play the Human Torch, Jamie Bell is in negotiations to play Ben Grimm aka The Thing, and Miles Tellar is also in negotiations to play Reed Richards aka Mr Fantastic.
Meh. Pass.
Seriously, I got zero faith in Marvel movies made at Fox hence why I stopped tracking them. TheFantastic Four reboot script has already seen a revolving door of screenwriters so that is cause for concern. I do have faith though in director Josh Trank and Chronicle was a dope movie so I’m rooting for him to make me a believer. Fantastic Four plot details are being kept under wraps so that scoop hounds like yours truly don’t spoil the movie.
What do you guys think of the new Fantastic Four reboot? Excited? You think Trank and Fox can pull this one off? Chime in your thoughts below.
