Kate Mara is the only casting choice that's not WTF in some way. She's attractive enough and unlike Alba she has more acting ability than a wooden plank.

Fucking retards that excused the FF movies because Alba was in spandex are the biggest dipshits on earth. Do you people not own internet connections? "OMG I can sort of see the outline of her body!!! Who cares if everything about this is retarded and she acts like it's her first time using human speech!"

Mara was okay in The Shooter (the only thing I can remember her in) but I've never thought of her as super hot. Alba wasn't bad in Sin City, but yeah in FF she was her usual self.

has Sue ever done anything of note other than having a kid?
She's a comic book character, they can make her anything they want. She knocked out Hulk at some point or other, or maybe it was She-Hulk....or both. Since her power is invisible shields they can basically make her do anything. She's blinded whole groups of people by making their optic nerves invisible.

Michael B Jordan is a really good actor, but it really would have made more sense to make Reed the black guy. I wonder if it was just a matter of who they could get, if they could get someone as good as Jordan to play Reed maybe he would have been a brother instead.
How would that make sense? Reed's character is super smart.

And how many movie going people know who the fuck NdT is? You found one black guy that breaks the stereotype. Awesome. In this movie you have these two characters. One smart, reserved and quiet. The other is loud and impulsive. And these characters need to relate to a semi retarded audience in some way. Given this, how is human torch = black, reed = white not a rational choice for a movie studio?

Everything about this movie and its cast choices seem set up to make the current versions oscar nominated pictures. Please don't make this.

The main issue is it hilariously changes a couple dynamics. Victors extreme vanity. progressive when its a man. But as a women.. not so much.
Then the Doom/Richards rivalry. Making Doom a WOMEN obsessed with beating a man who is smarter then her, Reed.. again.
if your plan was to encourage diversity, etc. congrats on making a female character that is a giant stereotype.
This is going to be great just to read some feminist blogs when it comes out. I can already see them now "the utter misogyny of having a female character that, just because she has a vagina, she has to be concerned about her looks 24/7! Men are such pigs OMG!"

That's pretty bizarre if it's true. FOX has to get a Fantastic Four movie out in 2015 or they lose the rights. This would mean them having to start from square one, which doesn't really give them much pre-production time, particularly if they are going to have to start casting again. I wonder if FOX didn't get the reaction they were expecting when they announced the cast, because I'm not sure what else would make them decide to throw everything out and start over this late in the process.

First look at Dr. Doom. It's a second unit shooting thing not the real guy, big dude is a Thing stand in. Still, let's make fun of it.
