"Is the casting of "The Fantastic Four" secretly one of Doctor Doom's nefarious plots? Within minutes of the bombshell reports that Fox has found its titular superheroes in the Fantastic Four reboot, naysayers flamed on social media to pick apart the reported selections of actors Miles Teller (Mr. Fantastic), Kate Mara (Invisible Woman), Michael B. Jordan (Human Torch) and Jamie Bell (The Thing). Complaints ranged from the good points (Teller's track record of one-liner spewing parts is a poor fit for the super-serious Reed Richards) to the bad (Mara isn't blond) to the ugly (Jordan is not Caucasian like the character in the comics). Assuming all four are on board — since only Jordan and Mara have officially confirmed their commitments — the presumed casting at the very least shows director Josh Trank is not reverential about the original source material created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1961."* Cenk Uygur, Ben Mankiewicz (What The Flick?! TYT Sports), Gina Grad (The Gina Grad Show) and Jarrett Sleeper (Totally Clevver) break it down on The Young Turks. *Read more here from Ethan Sacks / NY Daily News: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/analysis-filmmakers-making-call-fantastic-article-1.1621480 ********** The Largest Online News Show in the World.
