Fantastic Four finally has a cast

After much speculation and rumor, we finally have an official casting announcement for the upcoming reboot of Fantastic Four.

As rumored and expected, Miles Teller has signed on to play Reid Richards/Mr. Fantastic and Michael B. Jordan will play Johnny Storm/The Human Torch. In addition to those two, Kate Mara has landed the role of Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman and Jamie Bell is in final negotiations to play Ben Grimm/The Thing.
The new Fantastic Four will be based off the "Ultimate Fantastic Four" comic arc with the young cast being cast to show the origins of the characters and show them as young people. A villain is set to be cast in the coming weeks. Josh Trank (Chronicle) is set to direct the film slated for release on June 19, 2015. 

I personally don't like these casting choices at all. I think Jamie Bell is probably the best choice and he shouldn't be The Thing. He should be playing Mr. Fantastic. And not trying to be so-called racist, but how does it work to have Sue Storm be white and Johnny Storm be black? Unless they make one of them adopted or something.

Fantastic Four gets a new release date

In addition to a schedule shift for Fantastic Four, we have some other release date shifts:

Fantastic Four is moving from March 6, 2015 to June 19, 2015. Originally the film was rumored for 2014, so this one has shifted a lot already. Josh Trank (Chronicle) is still directing. This now puts the film on the same weekend as Disney/Pixar's Inside Out and one week after Jurassic World. Seeing that Fantastic Four has yet to have any solid casting, aside from Miles Teller apparently playing Reed Richards, a delay was expected.

Assassin's Creed, starring Michael Fassbender, has shifted from June 2015 to August 7, 2015.

Paul Feig's new spy comedy, Susan Cooper, will open on May 22, 2015. The film will star Melissa McCarthy and is set to open three weeks after The Avengers: Age of Ultron and directly aside Tomorrowland.

The Secret Service has shifted from 2014 and will take Fantastic Four's old spot of March 6, 2015. Matthew Vaughn is directing this graphic novel adaptation of a Mark Millar story. Colin Firth and Samuel L. Jackson are attached to star.

Matthew Vaughn to produce Fantastic Four reboot

After Matthew Vaughn dropped out of the director's chair for X-Men: Days of Future Past I think just about everyone was wondering what other projects he had on his plate. It seems Fantastic Four was on his list. It was announced today by Mark Millar via Twitter that Vaughn was set to produce the upcoming reboot to be directed by Josh Trank (Chronicle).

I thought we were getting Fantastic Four next year, but apparently I was wrong. We can expect Fantastic Four on March 6, 2015.

Release date for Fantastic Four reboot announced

We might as well just call 2015 the year for superhero movies. It seems like every sequel or major movie is coming out that year. So far we have The Avengers 2, Ant-Man, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, Star Wars Episode VII, and the announced Justice League movie. On top of this 21st Century Fox has released an announced date for the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot. The release for this potential train wreck is March 6, 2015 and is promptly titled The Fantastic Four.

In addition to the Fantastic Four announcement, Fox also released 3D announcements for their upcoming films. Films to be released in 3D are The Wolverine, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters.
