The Fantastic Four

Reboots seem to be the new it thing in the comic book movie universe. I personally thought it was semi-early to reboot a franchise that I thought did pretty well last time.

First and foremost, the Fantastic Four are a family. When they're not off saving the world from threats both cosmic and human, they're living together in the same building as a slightly dysfunctional but loving unit. However, director Josh Trank's upcoming reboot is looking to shake up the FF formula in some fascinating new ways, and the casting of Reg E. Cathey as the father of Johnny and Sue Sto

Though the major roles in the reboot of 'Fantastic Four' have been filled, the movie must do some world-building to set up the film's already dated sequel. So it's no surprise that Tim Blake Nelson is joining the cast of the film to play Harvey Elder, who will eventually (though not in the first film) become the Mole Man.

The internet has been a buzz the last few weeks with the rumored news that Michael B. Jordan will play Johnny Storm/Human Torch in the upcoming 2015 Fantastic Four reboot. You may remember Jordan from such movies as the super-hero film Chronicle and the new comedy That Awkward Moment, which also stars Zac Effron.
