you know i really didn't think it was that important that Sue and Johnny be the same race.

is them being blood siblings really that important? it's not like they'd have less of a relationship if he's her adopted brother.

The twitter reactions to Michael B Jordan as Johnny Storm will be glorious.

Props to Marvel if Susan Storm/Kate Mara is adopted into a black family, but we all know there's about a .01% chance of that happening.

Its a powerful dynamic. Hence why the tagline is the "First Family of the Marvel Universe".
I personally dont know how I feel about the casting. I like MBJ as an actor. But that Ben Grimm casting though.... I can tell they are going in the whole puny guy turns into big strong dude but I dont know. We just have to wait and see. The casting alone has already drummed up some buzz so this will be watched under mad scrutiny.

I don't really like him as Johnny Storm. I have no problem with him specifically, I just feel like it's the coward's way out as far as casting for diversity goes. Hollywood seems too scared to make a movie that's actually just about a black superhero, or a black superhero family, but scared NOT to have a person of color in the movie, but again too scared to cast Johnny AND Sue as a black brother and sister. Same reason we randomly got a latin american Sue last time.

Fucking commit one way or the other, and then give me my goddamn Black Panther movie you slow-ass Hollywood assholes.

Maybe I'm not nerdy enough but comic movie castings never change my mood.


Glad MBJ is getting a big role after That Awkward Moment. Should be good for his future prospects, he'll need the exposure for when he eventually eats Will Smith.

Talk up diversity as long as it's not the main character brehs

It's the Fantastic Four; they're all the main characters. :p

Hell, MBJ was the first person they pursued and confirmed. It's entirely possible the movie will be centered around Johnny.

Just saw that Fantastic Four thread. As I said in there I love the castings, all good actors. I would say that MBJ has been tagged for the role for a while. Is it tokenism? from the amount of films homeboy has been in his on the rise, I think his there on merit. I will agree that Hollywood goes hot and cold on these things. No way for instance would they have casted a black Sue Storm and Johnny Storm that would have made it a 'black' movie by default.

Same reason I think Marvel still hasn't gotten a Black Panther movie off the ground. It's all funny when you consider that it was Blade that kicked off this comic book film rush. Consider that film had a black male and female lead.

Johnny Storm: "My mother was a crack head prostitute who abandoned me when I was 5 for a 40 ounce and an 8 ball. Susan's mother (played by Sandra Bullock) adopted me and I have been the typical angry black youth ever since."
