‘FANTASTIC FOUR’ casting potentials include JON SNOW, ROBB STARK
Oh yeah! There’s a Fantastic Four movie happening. We already know that Michael B. Jordan is going to play Johnny Storm, but who is going to flesh out the rest of the cast? Maybe Jon Snow? Maybe Robb Stark? Maybe me? I sent in my audition tape! Peanut butter sandwich belly+my fiance’s yoga pants pulled up over my tits=the definitive Reed Richards.
According to Variety’s sources, here’s what’s going down:
Michael B. Jordan is on board to play Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, but will be testing with other actors for ensemble chemistry. In the running to play Sue Storm, Johnny’s older sister, are Kate Mara (sister of Rooney) and Saoirse Ronan. I suppose if we can’t have her in the lead in Star Wars VII, I’m just as happy to see her in as an adventurer, sister, and superhero.
Reed Richards, on the other hand, may very well come to us from the land of Westros. Both Kit Harington and Richard Madden are apparently expected to test for the part. Miles Teller, another of actor Variety says is in the running, confirmed his possible involvement with the franchise to reporters yesterday, so it’s not to far fetched to think that Variety might have gotten the real facts in this matter.
All a Fantastic Four reboot really needs to be is better than The Fantastic Four and Rise of the Silver Surfer. To go beyond that low hurdle and present an interracial family (whether mixed race, adoptive, or otherwise) is already impressing the heck out of me. Now lets just hope that we have, indeed, wrung these facts from the vapor of nuance.
C’mon Fox. Get with it. Get hip. Get…CAFFEINE POWERED. (I shout this at the end of my audition tape, I think it really nails it.)
