The Human Torch Is Gonna Be Black In The New Fantastic Four Movie?

[Jello Biafra]

Will 'Chronicle' Star Michael B. Jordan Be Human Torch in 'Fantastic Four'?

"Chronicle" star Michael B. Jordan is in contention to play The Human Torch in Josh Trank's "Fantastic Four" reboot due in 2015, which would give the African-American actor a rare role as a superhero in a big studio franchise, numerous individuals familiar with the project have told TheWrap.

The Human Torch, also known as Johnny Storm, was white in the Marvel comic, and the wise-cracking character was previously played by Chris Evans in the original 2005 version and its 2007 sequel.

Twentieth Century Fox declined to comment on the record, but numerous individuals close to the studio and the actor have told TheWrap that "Chronicle" director Trank is considering a reunion with Jordan, whose feature career has soared since his breakout turns on TV in "The Wire" and "Friday Night Lights."

I wouldn't have any problems with it but this would also lead to The Invisible Woman being cast with a black actress since she and the Torch are siblings.
I can see fanboys heads exploding now if this were to happen.

I don't get the point of doing this but whatever.

As long as the movie is good and the acting is on point, I don't see why anyone should care about the color of a character's skin

I've never met one single person in my life who didn't like San Andreas

I don't care about the opinions of ignorant racist people, that doesn't concern me and it shouldn't to anyone else either. These folks don't decide or guide the direction of the entertainment industry.

But that would make Sue Storm black also...I personally hate the ideal of iconic characters race changing in comic book movies

Don't care what it is. Dude needs more roles. If Torch has to be black so be it.

Nick Fury was turned black. We'll be aight.

Nick Fury was turned black because of the Ultimate comics though......I wonder if there was any backlash then though
