Its funny reading all these comments over this but I remember seeing Elizabeth Taylor playing Cleopatra and that is a white woman playing a Egyptian woman. I mean come on people this is so ridiculous how people get so but hurt over this, give the guy a chance at the role and then judge him.

So... does this means the Torch's kin is one fine sista, or is he some kind of stepchild now. I need answers!

BROTHAS NEED TO REPRESENT!!!

Is Nolan involved in this film.

You guys and gals are not on here arguing over race when the damn character is a thing anyway a pile of yellow rocks if anything a mixed person should play the part and no I'm not light skinned or mixed but on a serious note don't fight and call each other names over something that don't matter the movie is gonna make money rather you want it to or not age or color don't make a movie unless they give us a black Jason or chucky then things will get weird lol but at least give the guy a chance he's gonna have on a thing the second half of the movie anyway.

When will people learn that big companies are more interested in trying to appeal to everyone?

Its not about the core passionate fans.

So fine , let's even accept the premise that casting a key member as black is a positive change . Let's bite .

Why limits the cast to one being black out of two siblings ? Two would be to much to stomach ? I find that kind of logic very perverse and cynical coming from Hollywood

And why cast B jordan as the fun goofy player of the bunch ? Why not as Reed Richards , who got no culture roots that need to be shown and displayed ? Why not have a more serious and highly respected , on an intellectual level , hero turned black then ? Wouldnt that be a change from the usual thug , street kid , or frat boy we mostly see in movies ? At least it would be better imo , IF you feel the need to use such affirmative action (lol over actually using and rpomoting existing , great and popular black comics heroes for a change)

I just dont think he fits the human torch even if he was white. he has the type of voice where when he talks its not that clear so some might not know what he is saying. also human torch says flame on like how ash ketchum yells out charizard or his other pokemons in the anime. I just dont think this dude can say flame on like that. he doesnt really have that athletic look to him either and black guy being the fire guy just doesnt match well. black dude should of been the grimm rock dude or the stretching guy but i dont really think stretching powers is good for the black dude either.

I think they should keep continuity the way it is and not change things up. That's like having an Asian Tony Stark, or a Yugoslavian Peter Parker, Italian Storm, etc...

a simple way to fix the black/white problem

i never heard anyone complaining about this. why not do this to the actor playing johnny storm in reverse.

#PROBLEMSOLVED

I usually dont have problems with these types of casting if it would add to movie. Jamie Fox as Electro doesn't bother me because Electro is the type of character you can imagine as both races, same with Fury. Human Torch not so much. If you are going to turn him into black then turn Invisble Woman into one too. I am not a fan of changing origins story. Didn't like it in MOS and not in this either.

I dont like the casting for Luthor either. I think I have an idea of where they are planning to go with the character and I for one don't like it.

I honestly don't see any of these characters as astronauts which is the main part of the story. They should have been more mature.These guys look like teenagers.

If they want real black super hero lets do a luke cage and iron fist movie .that would be epic.

i hope all you people whining about this films casting choices and script choose not to see it when it finally comes out. like the general public even knows what the hell the fantastic four about, get real. if people are going to turn out to watch a guardians of the galaxy movie, i highly doubt anyone gives a shit about what race or age characters in the fantastic four are going to be.keep on whining though, im sure the movie producers will really give a shit lol.

articles about race , 100's of comments , articles about how the new legislation is annually fkn you over , 0 comments

either both of them should be black or both should be white... the color isn't important the fact that the source says they are blood siblings is important... there is sibling rivalry that is ripe for the picking by a good director that doesn't work as well if they are "adopted" siblings

The only way I care is if the actor is that d*** good. Otherwise, what purpose would it serve. This "make them black for the sake of making them black" agenda is even getting on MY nerves... and I'm BLACK!!!

I for one am disapointed, some of my favourite actors are black but I grew up reading Marvel comics and the human torch was never Black, they are messing with fond memories and to be honest there is no reason for them to do it, there must be a ton of white actors who could play the part,

but hey thats the world we live in and no amount of moaning is going to change it, I just hope one day they do a proper Silver Surfer movie, but if they cast a gold actor to play the part i'll be well cheesed off no matter how PC everyone tells me it is.

The Human Torch is an arrogant show off. If Jordan can pull off the part, I have no problem with him playing the role. I didn't see that ,many people complain about the Kingpin being played my Micheal Clarke Duncan, in fact many felt he was great.
