Michael B. Jordan Has Signed On to Play Johnny Storm in Fantastic Four Reboot!!

Hey guys, Movie Maniac here, and do I have some good news for you. I would consider this great news actually. You read it right Michael B. Jordan of Fruitvale Station and Chronicle fame has officially signed on to play Johnny Storm a.k.a. The Human Torch in the Fantastic Four Reboot!!

I have to say I am totally excited about this decision because of a couple different reasons:

1. It is a new take on the character.
2. They can go different and unique ways with the film in regards to his relation to Sue Storm in the reboot.
3. Michael B. Jordan is one of those up and coming actors that is making a big name for himself at a young age and he has set himself up so that he can end up being the next Forest Whitaker or Denzel Washington, or better yet, he can end up being better.

I also have a little hesitation about the decision as well because of one reason:

1. Josh Trank, director of Chronicle and the Fantastic Four reboot, is hinting that this is going to be a teenaged version of the FF and that is not the route I believe he should be going with this.

Despite my one hesitation, I believe Josh Trank is going to create a good film and Michael B. Jordan is going to play a great Johnny Storm. The only thing he has to worry about is filling the shoes of his predecessor, the now Captain America, Chris Evans, who I believe portrayed Johnny Storm very well in the Tim Story FF films.

Let me know what you guys think of Michael B. Jordan officially being cast as Johnny Storm. Do you think he will do a good job? Do you think the film will be good? leave your comments in the box below.

And As Always, I'm the Movie Maniac, and I'm Frantic About Film :D
