'Fantastic Four' Reboot Cast: Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan Play Brother And Sister In Marvel Superhero Film

Marvel's "Fantastic Four" reboot has announced its leading cast members, TheWrap reports.

"That Awkward Moment" star Michael B. Jordan will reportedly take on the role of Johnny Storm opposite of "House of Cards" star Kate Mara, who will play older sister Sue Storm.  Miles Teller is set to play Mr. Fantastic and Jamie Bell is The Thing.

"Bell is in heavy discussions to play Ben Grimm, aka The Thing. Bell's name has never been mentioned in connection with the coveted superhero role, though it certainly makes sense as he has experience with motion-capture performances, having starred in Steven Spielberg's 'The Adventures of Tintin.' However, there is no official deal in place for Bell yet," TheWrap reports.

Mara has also yet to sign the deal with Marvel as she is allegedly in final negotiations with the studio.  "Chronicle" director Josh Trank will be directing the film. 

"Fantastic Four was the very first comic produced by the Marvel Comics' 1960s golden age and featured a brilliant scientist, his pilot best friend, his girlfriend and her brother who are turned into heroes Mr. Fantastic, The Thing, Invisible Girl and the Human Torch. They fought aliens and monsters but their arch-foe was Dr. Doom, a onetime roommate of the scientist," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

THR reports FOX's reboot has had a series of delays relating to script rewrites and multiple casting rounds. 

"The project has gone through its fair share of writers but now has a script execs and filmmakers are happy with. That generated a new round of tests and chemistry reads in earlier in February," according to THR.

The "Fantastic Four" reboot is slated to hit theaters on June 19, 2015.
