Jessica Alba Wont Be Back For A Third Fantastic Four Movie!

The actress discusses her feelings about playing Susan Storm but reveals that she knows nothing about returning for the next FF movie...


"I don't know anything about it," Alba said of the planned Fantastic Four reboot while talking to MTV's Splash Page.

The actress went on to say that she is pleased with her two installments to the series even if Fox decide to start all over with the next movie, "Our 'Fantastic Four' made a lot of money and kids loved it. And little boys and little girls look up to a female as a superhero. To be one of the first — if not the first — in this generation to do that, I was pretty honored."

"So, I'm happy that's out there," she said.

Go Elizabeth Banks!

Yeah I dont care much for her as Sue Storm or her Shark posters.
Dmon - 3/1/2010, 2:28 PM
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D YEAH! :) Next time they should bring on an actress who actually looks like Sue Storm (that means no hair dye, color contacts, and fake crap like that)
Starsapphire - 3/1/2010, 2:30 PM
The only way I'll watch a new F4 movie, is if they go into outer space or another dimension or something. I mean, thats what the fantastic four is all about. Have them wandering around in the real world just points out the fact of how stupid they are.
DannyRand401 - 3/1/2010, 2:30 PM
what a shame...

but we have her other movies to look forward to...

JANUARY JONES FOR INVISIBLE WOMAN!!!

Wow! Really? The only reason I didn't turn off FF2 after 10 mins was b/c of how ridiculously hot she looked.
JaySin420 - 3/1/2010, 2:53 PM
Guys, check out my 100 character Marvel CIVIL WAR Fan Cast!!! Just click the link!
JoshW - 3/1/2010, 2:54 PM
I really liked the first one and thought that the second one was fair.
JJMeylar - 3/1/2010, 2:57 PM
"Two shit Fantastic Four movies"?? They weren't that bad..
Minotauro - 3/1/2010, 2:59 PM
Nope, they were pretty bad.

Elizabeth Banks for Sue!

InTylerWeTrust - 3/1/2010, 3:04 PM
Minotauro: Really? Between the crap acting, Mister Fantastic's Welsh accent slipping through every few minutes, the messy origins, the pathetic Doctor Doom, childish script and cloud Galactus I hated them! Though to be fair, the second one was a little better...but only the scenes with Silver Surfer! :P
JoshW - 3/1/2010, 3:06 PM
TYLER: I'd be happy to see her in the role as well - she's a great actress! :)
JoshW - 3/1/2010, 3:07 PM
That is great! Can I still have your cake Jessica? ; )
CaptainProg - 3/1/2010, 3:09 PM
I agree with Minotauro...
i kept WAITING for something cool to happen! i REALLY wanted to see Galactus in the flesh... and the Doctor Doom bits were just so laughable! he's supposed to be this great evil that gives the four of them a run for their money. and i did like the Silver Surfer bits, but there couldve been so much more done with all of that. i dont think they should do another one... EVER!! unless they can actually make Ben's rock flesh look real. maybe mo cap and do it CGI instead of lame makeup.
HelaGood - 3/1/2010, 3:09 PM
Yeah I think it was crazy that they did not have Galactus like he was in the comics because he was not realistic enough. Come on really? Its FF for godsake whats realistic about it in the first place. I was so pissed about the cloud. I kept looking at the cloud in the theatre like it was one of those pics you stare at to see something hidden in it to see if the real Galactus was in there somewhere. Sadly I never saw him
Dmon - 3/1/2010, 3:20 PM
They completely f*cked up Doom. Like, one of the biggest character rapings in CBM history. They turned a brilliant mastermind and ruler of an entire country, who is one of the biggest villains in the Marvel Universe, into a douchebag rich boy who wears a plastic mask and can shoot SyFy level lightning effects from his fingers. Preeety lame.

And they turned a planet-eating monster into Cloudy With A Chance of Galactus. Also lame.

Reed was an unfunny buffoon.

Sue was a boring, wooden, unmotherly girl who seemed even dumber than Reed did.

Only good things were Evans and Silver Surfer, and Chiklis was pretty good too.
InTylerWeTrust - 3/1/2010, 3:20 PM
@InTylerWeTrust82 ditto and he had no accent it was like he was from LA or something.
Dmon - 3/1/2010, 3:23 PM
last i heard. there was going to be a reboot anyway. so who gives a [frick]?

grif - 3/1/2010, 3:24 PM
The first one was one of the worst cbm's ever made..teh second one was shit but had Surfer..who was done pretty well all things considered.

Alba is gorgeous..and crap.

Elizabeth Banks makes me feel all funny
RorMachine - 3/1/2010, 3:27 PM
she's hot, but was totally wrong for the role of sue storm.
BIGBMH - 3/1/2010, 3:29 PM
@Ror Have you checked out my Fancast yet its my first I would like your thoughts please.

Dmon - 3/1/2010, 3:30 PM
elizabeth banks looks like a grandmother.
deathmetalbrian - 3/1/2010, 3:33 PM
i would do alba (and liz banks) in all orifices...but alba sucked...as did everything about the ff4 films...i didnt even find surfer to be anything awesome...i rather naomi watts and billy crudup as the richards:)

f0ck julian mcmahon...that hack....my doom is ralph fiennes ftw
Anil Rickly - 3/1/2010, 3:34 PM
January Jones for SUE!
IronMarvel - 3/1/2010, 3:37 PM
would they just make FF3 already? >.>
vakama15 - 3/1/2010, 3:45 PM
[frick] IT @ JOSH you beat me!!!!

Oh yeah you did the article lol! : P

Good taste man, hey i bet ALBA doesn't even know there wont be a FF3 but a Reboot, lmao, bless her! ; D

Hey check out the reboot castings i did if you ain't seen it! FF REBOOT CASTING:




CLICK THIS LINK>>>>>>FANTASTIC FOUR REBOOT MOVIE


Check out the whole reboot cast....
LEEE777 - 3/1/2010, 3:47 PM
@Josh - You made alot of good assumptions. I liked them cause of the chemistry of The Thing & Johnny.. FF2 is a no brainer for me, Silver Surfer... The Thing and Johnny are always making wise cracks every issue just like the movie, or it sucked really bad because of Alba? I already know one reason was because of Doom. But, I enjoyed the movies..
Minotauro - 3/1/2010, 3:56 PM
=pumps fist in the air= YES! I may love Jess all to death, but she was a horrible choice for Suzy Storm. Hell, by the second movie she looked more like an escapee from an anime than anything else.
Wiredwizard - 3/1/2010, 4:36 PM
Minotauro @ I liked 'em too, fun movies, just like the comics, (was great but not bad for back then), i could bring up some other FOX movie that was a lot worst.... but i wont lol.
LEEE777 - 3/1/2010, 4:43 PM
naomi watts is perfect sue



p.s i love jessica alba i don't care if she back
TANKGIRL - 3/1/2010, 4:49 PM
The FF movie were..OK..at best..But ALBA IS STILL HOT!
peterparker420 - 3/1/2010, 5:06 PM
Since everyone else is pimping on this article

Check out my new fansite over at Earth's Mightiest. It's called Swords, Sandals and Sorcery! Click on the beautiful image of Gemma Arterton to read more about her:

DogsOfWar - 3/1/2010, 5:25 PM
Ror - kinda like when you use to climb the rope in gym class right?

honestly 3 women thrown out here and id take any of them as Sue over Alba.
ThePrince - 3/1/2010, 5:52 PM
deathmetalbrian - well she's definitely a GILF... lol wtf are you like 10?

Agree with pretty much everything Tyler said.

Alba is just eye candy. And I like January Jones (she's hot and quick witted), but from what I've seen she doesn't have much of a range. She could work though maybe.
48and2 - 3/1/2010, 5:58 PM
elizabeth banks has no breast......so you know where i stand on her "hotness"
superdog - 3/1/2010, 6:20 PM
naomi watts can act and she'd match crudup well
Anil Rickly - 3/1/2010, 6:36 PM
Well I have tried to be understanding of the choice of actors that were chosen for the two FF movies. I was never a huge fan of them but a comicbook fan in total so I know a lot about FF. Chris Evans was good as Johnny as was Mike Chiklis as Ben Grimm. When he became Thing I never understood why they didnt make him more huge, how would he ever fight the Hulk? Dr. Doom was the biggest bust of the films. Here you have the single greatest threat of a supervillian and he was made to look like crap. Yes to a reboot. Have Ben exposed to another dose of cosmic rays so he becomes the Thing we all know and love. I've said it quite a few times on here....IT CANT BE THAT HARD TO MAKE A COMICBOOK MOVIE!
hewilldefytheirgravity - 3/1/2010, 7:10 PM
January Jones I think is better suited to portray Sue Storm....Alba looks great ,but she wasnt Sue Storm sorry.

hewilldefytheirgravity: I agree mostly with what you've stated Chiklis would've been fine if the THING was THE THING... he was way too small. I didnt like Evans ,but maybe I just dont like Johnny Storm because he did play him like he's written for the most part. DOOM was a bust nothing about him screamed menacing evil mastermind he was TERRIBLE !!!
BLADE44 - 3/1/2010, 7:21 PM
"kids love it" little girl and little boy"
That movie was dumb, but i don't get why she referring it to such a young audience, they might had tried to make it look goofy, but i don't think this is the way superheros movies should be treated, they should should achieve a level of maturity between iron man or batman
brazilianbatman - 3/1/2010, 7:39 PM
Dog - so you're basically saying that if we removed Banks's head and put it on Kat Denning's body, you'd like her more?? =) they all have legs to hump =P

Rickly - Watts is a good idea too; I'd say Banks or Watts myself. So Crudup for Richards - I think he'd be perfect. He's been one of my favorite actors since Almost Famous, and after pulling off Dr. Manhattan the way he did, I can see it quite clearly.

As for Fiennes, to me he's become the generic villain. Don't get me wrong, he's good, make that great at it, but I'm frankly just tired of seeing him as a villain. Mark Strong is headed that way. For Doom, I think we need someone maybe established, but not used to the villain thing.
48and2 - 3/1/2010, 8:22 PM
I won't miss Alba, or the old FF movies. Truly bad CBMs in nearly every way. Tim Story the director of the crap that was FF and FFRSS and Alba are both on my CBM blacklist of people I hope are never involved in a CBM again.

My CBM Blacklist:
Tim Story
Mark Steven Johnson
Joel Schumacher
Brett Ratner
Halley Berry
Jessica Alba
Ioan Gufford
Ben Affleck
Jennifer Garner
Julian McMahon
Channing Tatum
The entire cast of Batman and Robin

who's jeebus?
foxfan - 3/1/2010, 9:03 PM
her boy friend at the was one of the producers for casting and he cast her as Susan Storm. Now there marred.
luffycapri - 3/1/2010, 9:13 PM
Elizabeth Banks would be better than Alba, but a cardboard cutout would've been better than Alba so that's not saying much.

Whoever plays Sue should be in their late 30's AT LEAST.

Guy Pearce for Reed Richards
Naomi Watts for Sue Storm
Mike Vogel for Johnny Storm
Ron Pearlman for Ben Grimm(the Thing should be CGI)
Viggo Mortensen for Doom

Beat that.
magic8 - 3/1/2010, 11:49 PM
She's delusional. She was one of the worst parts about FF. The two good things- Chris Evans and Julian M.
Chad Vital - 3/2/2010, 1:23 AM
She was aweful in those movies!
Bijous - 3/2/2010, 2:20 AM
Hugh Laurie as Reed Richards
Charlize Theron as Susan Storm
Ving Rhames as Ben Grimm
Bradley Cooper as Johnny Storm


/end of casting discussion & have a nice day :)
Triptheorist - 3/2/2010, 6:43 AM
Alba is hot and all but she was just way to ethnic looking to play Sue Storm.

I'd like to see an all star cast for the reboot and I want Doom to be as iconic as Darth Vader.


Mr. Fantastic- Billy Crudup (best choice)
Sue Storm- Naomi Watts
Johnny Storm- Ryan Gosling
The Thing- James Gandolfini
Dr. Doom- Jason Isaacs
Mole Man- Paul Giamatti

They can bring back Stan Lee and have him play Willie Lumpkin, seems appropriate.

This would be a dream come true if they used this cast.
norrinradd85 - 3/2/2010, 7:33 AM
@radd...well done and i concur

@nerosday...i'd add in mike bay and bryan singer to tha list
Anil Rickly - 3/2/2010, 8:16 AM
@ joshw & leee777 january jones is perfect choice.
lets reboot the franchise,fox give it back to marvel studios let them make it.
these are the things that must feature in the new trilogy.
1st film origin of ff,the mole man & the monsters from monster island plus a cameo from dr doom.
2nd film wedding of sue & reed,dr doom main villain plus origin,announcement that sue is pregnant & the silver surfer shows up with a warning.
3rd film sue gives birth to franklin,the main villain galactus with dr doom giving the ff & silver surfer shit.
or this trilogy.
1.dr doom
2.the frightful four.
3.galactus.
deadpool72 - 3/2/2010, 8:26 AM
Alba was as good as Garner as Elektra. Crap
oner01 - 3/2/2010, 9:53 AM
Alba is a self absorbed POS. Who cares.
SirPrize - 3/2/2010, 10:31 AM
The second movie had some good moments, especially the interaction between Torch and the Thing.

Still, a reboot of this series is a fine idea, as long as it's done right. Go back to the classic Lee/Kirby stories, and you have a great series of movies waiting to be made. Don't make stupid changes like putting Doom on the damn rocket with the Four (one of the worst ideas EVER).

Also, I like deadpool's ideas for a trilogy.

Mcmahon sucked. You're douche.
magic8 - 3/2/2010, 1:15 PM
as far as childrens movies there alright i guess, at least she looked good
jimthefan - 3/2/2010, 3:04 PM
"Cloudy With A Chance of Galactus" @ tyler

ROTFLMAO, man!

I definitely liked the Fantastic Four movies, with reservations such as the stupid jet-fighter Fantasticar chase, pretty boy "Doctor Mild Discomfort Regarding an Uncertain Future", Galactus flatal emission cloud, not enough grey at the temples for Mr. Fantastic (I know, VERY minor issue), no Latveria like the comics, PATHETICALLY disappointing "epic" fights in both movies, on and on...

The interactions between Ben and Johnny? Perfect.
Silver Surfer visualization: Perfect.

Not much else.

Although I did enjoy them, there is SO much more that can be done with the Fantastic Four, one of the linchpins of the Marvel Universe. What I am truly waiting for is the reversion of the rights to Marvel, just like the hardcore Spidey and X-Men fans just marking time until the same happens there.

Vital, you have no CLUE who Doctor Doom is if you thought that Julian McMahon did ANY justice to that role.
bropous - 3/5/2010, 12:06 PM
Why don't they remake the whole franchise and have them be little kids i hear thats ganna work wonders for spider-man.
Logan-X - 3/12/2010, 9:58 PM
I didn't like being able to recognize Silver Surfer's voice.

Maybe it's just because I'm an audiophile... but whenever a fictional character is voiced by someone with an inconic tone, like Lawrence Fishburne, it takes me out of the movie.

I had the same problem with Marvin in 'Hithchiker's Guide to the Galaxy' and with just about every character in 'Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within'. How can you hope to sell photorealistic animated people who sound like Alec Baldwin, Ving Rhames, Donald Sutherland, and Steve Buscemi... but don't look like any of them?

Same problem with the Silver Surfer. Great visualization but I just kept wondering when he would offer the FF team the red pill.
sethasa - 3/13/2010, 11:31 PM
She's the hottest grandma I've ever seen@ DeathMetalBrian :D And the only way they can redeem FF is if they make Doom a beast..here's hoping
W3bH3ad - 3/16/2010, 5:04 PM
I always thought Trish Stratus would be good as Sue Storm if she took acting classes.
icebergslick - 3/18/2010, 8:45 PM
While I love Jessica Alba...she just didn't fit the mold of Susan Storm...it wasn't her fault though. Whoever casted the dang thing is the one to blame! Good choice for Mr. Fantastic, The Thing (although in his rock form...they really failed) and Human Torch.
