I'm really hoping the Michael B. Jordan casting doesn't become a talking point on MSNBC and FOX News.

Shooooot, after the many discriminative comments I've seen you would think so. But it's all good, all I ask is that the guy gave the role his most truest efforts. If not, I'll remain critical of those efforts as well. But yeah, he's got a point, but the F4 universe is filled with so many different interpretations of the team. So for me this is one of those alternative approaches towards the team and I'm fine with it. Torch has a witty white attitude that I liked about him in the Ultimate comics and I'm sure everyone will get their beloved blonde hair and blue eyed character they love in the near future, for this reboot won't be a solid franchise to last us over 10-15 years but I do think it'll reamin here for sometime. Unil that time comes I'm cool with Michael doing his thing...

Where's Wallace

Great actor, great casting. This movie is shaping up nicely. Less than 2 weeks to go!

B-But he's one of THOSE people....

Did anyone really expect Stan Lee to say anything negative?

He is my favourite actor out of the 5 main cast members, but going off the trailers he seems like the least interesting character (I'm liking the little we've seen of Kate Mara, and all of Miles Teller as Reed).

Of course, trailers aren't the final product, a fact that a lot of people here are unable to grasp.

I don't have a problem with Jordan. Or any of the cast really.

People here need to understand casting means nothing. It's not about casting but direction the director wants to go.

If castings meant something, George Clooney would be seen as a better Batman than Keaton since he does fit Batman better than Keaton. Hell, I'll say I think Garfield is a better actor and fit for Spidey than Tobey. Tobey's still a great actor. Loved him in Brothers but the way Tobey and Andrew's Spideys were written, Tobey is seen by the GA as a more favorable Spider-Man.

Hell I do think Arnold would have been a perfect Mr. Freeze. If you don't believe me, go watch the Terminator films then watch Heart of Ice. Terminator and Freeze both come of as cold and emotionless. Arnold could have nailed that with Freeze if WB wasn't set on making films to sell toys.

Whenever someone is cast, I generally don't care because it means nothing. All that matters is what direction the director, studio, and writers wish to take the character that was cast.

There aren't bad castings, just bad directions. Ok some bad castings but most of the bad casting complaints come aren't bad casting but bad directions.

@blanka1212 "he has added nothing to the character by being Black"

Oh really now? please enlighten the class by elaborating on that. I'm curious what IS a black character suppose to add

"They’re outraged not because of any personal prejudice. They’re outraged because they hate to see any change made on a series and characters they had gotten familiar with."

Summed it up perfectly.

Pffft, what does this old [frick] know about the Fantastic Four?

That's right ,Stan. Pepper. Not too much racial diversity.
