For those who have been following casting news would have heard the rumours surrounding the reboot of Marvel's Fantastic Four. And that Michael B. Jordan has been the first rumour to play The Human Torch, followed by Miles Teller to play Mr. Fantastic. And now they have added Kate Mara as The Invisible Woman and Jamie Bell as The Thing.

Today, the casting seems to be confirmed with the big announcement that the four leads have been named. The rumour about Jordan has been the surprise as historically The Human Torch has always been white. And also because the mythology of the Fantastic Four has always been that Sue Storm and Johnny Storm were siblings.

So now maybe they are going with adopted siblings?

I personally prefer the "wiser" casting of the previous incarnation of the FF, and people also have started calling this project the Fantastic Babies. But nevertheless, I am interested to see what direction they will go with this reboot.

I have no problems with Teller or Mara, and Jordan is becoming an exceptional actor. But Bell as The Thing? This is a game changer! Hopefully the first trailer will bring a pleasant surprise just like Guardians Of The Galaxy.
