"According to Twitter, I am," said Kate Mara when MTV asked if she is really playing Sue Storm, aka Invisible Woman, in Fox's Fantastic Four reboot. "I literally have not heard a thing, which is alarming," Mara told MTV News. "Last night in bed, I was scrolling through movie news. I was like, 'What? I got the part?' I still haven't heard. I want LA to wake up so that I can make some phone calls and figure this out." When asked to clarify, Mara responded: "I literally don't know 100 percent that I have that part," she said. "I don't like to celebrate before something's real because how embarrassing would that be? I hope so." Regardless of the status of her casting, the actress says she's really excited about the project and that she'll have to get up to speed on the comics. She also praises Josh Trank's directorship on Chronicle. When asked about the controversy surrounding actor Michael B. Jordan playing Sue Storm's brother, Johnny aka Human Torch, Mara said: "Again, I credit Josh Trank for that because... he thinks outside the box. I don't actually know whose idea that was, but it just makes me trust that he's going to make an awesome movie. Regardless of myself, I'm such a massive fan of all those guys." What do you think?

Kill this movie, kill it with FIRE!!!

Highflyer - 2/20/2014, 11:31 AM

They always say they've never heard of anything then...BOOOM. They are cast.

Nick56 - 2/20/2014, 11:34 AM

Hopefully she's in it because Kate Mara as Sue is perfect casting. The rest of the cast ill have to wait and see what they look like as their respective characters before I make judgement. But I still have confidence in the movie, don't really see why everyone is bitching about it already...

Destined - 2/20/2014, 11:38 AM

Interesting...

BigeBigzWells - 2/20/2014, 11:41 AM

Redheaded actress doesn't know if she got the part as a blonde haired superhero...Dyes hair blonde anyway... Yeah, she got the part.

superotherside - 2/20/2014, 11:47 AM

Dear Fox Studios,

Please, cancel the Fantastic Four movie before you embarrass yourself again.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Everyone

;P

9/10
Would take as saltwife.

KrazyForKomix - 2/20/2014, 11:53 AM

Saoirse Ronan would have been much better. She looks MORE the part AND can act!

TheRealDorkKnight - 2/20/2014, 11:53 AM

Sigh... So they r going to force in the adopted thing then?

KrazyForKomix - 2/20/2014, 11:54 AM

Dear Fox Studios,

Michael B as Johnny YESS1

TheRealDorkKnight - 2/20/2014, 11:55 AM

It's not racist saying that brother and sister should be the same race. They are just shoehorning in a racial demographic in some pathetic attempt to get other nationalities to go see this garbage

NightWatcher - 2/20/2014, 11:57 AM

@superman

I think it will be better than the first one

MisterHolmes - 2/20/2014, 11:59 AM

@Nick why exactly is she perfect casting? Im not trying to start anything im just curious bc i think ur the first person who sees anything good coming from this movie

KrazyForKomix - 2/20/2014, 12:02 PM

I want to know why no one though to cast Kal Penn as Reed Richards. He would have been perfect.

TheClemster - 2/20/2014, 12:02 PM

WE...

DON'T...

CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE!!!!!!!

Missy - 2/20/2014, 12:04 PM

"Hey Kate, are you Invisible Womah?"

Kate: "I dunno... whatevs"

"GREAT! =D"

EagleEye21 - 2/20/2014, 12:06 PM

I know I'm gonna get hated for this, but I actually enjoyed the first two fantastic four movies, and I also thought rise of the silver surfer was the best out of the two

Mike89 - 2/20/2014, 12:06 PM

Am i missing something. There was another article confirming her as Sue Storm now she denies it.

Come on FOX get your heads out of your ass.

MisterHolmes - 2/20/2014, 12:07 PM

This whole situation is F.U.B.A.R and we wouldnt be here if This studio knew how to make [frick]ing movies

THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 2/20/2014, 12:07 PM

I feel bad for her. This movie is going to blow.

GhostDog - 2/20/2014, 12:16 PM

She's gorgeous. The sister of the girl with te dragon tattoo...Rooney Mara. Family owns both Steeles and giants. A billion dollars and beauty wow. She'll kill as Sue Storm. Talented actress

JossWeedOnMe - 2/20/2014, 12:19 PM

Is she going to use boot Polish as makeup

CherryBomb - 2/20/2014, 12:19 PM

Yeah, Kate is a really good choice for Sue, she can definitely give the intelligence and beauty that embodies Sue.

Interestein - 2/20/2014, 12:20 PM

Honestly, this film shouldn't be getting all this hate. I love 3/4 of the cast so far (excluding Teller as Richards), the director is phenomenal, Matthew [frick]ing Vaughn is producing, and Kinberg is a pretty good writer.

I say: BRING IT ON!

JossWeedOnMe - 2/20/2014, 12:21 PM

FF = fecking fail

Redmest - 2/20/2014, 12:22 PM

Yea, this movie? no thanks.

jaysin420 - 2/20/2014, 12:22 PM

I don't hate the FF movies as much as most people, just thought Reed and Doom were awful.

She's good though and I like Jordan, so maybe this could be decent.
