10 Reasons The Fantastic Four Looks Great

1. The Cast Is Perfect

For real, has there been a better superhero ensemble since, well, the first X-Men movie? Fox know their stuff, and credit to the for going for an interesting mix with their heroes. Kate Mara is a rising star thanks to her starring role in Netflix's House Of Cards, and everybody knows Jamie Bell as Billy Elliot, but Ben Grimm is kind of a different part for him. An interesting one, though. Miles Teller is one half of the lesser-known actors in the film. He's been getting some positive critical notices for jazz drumming indie drama Whiplsash, and he was part of the latest YA dystopian movie Divergent, but this is his first big lead part. He's probably going to smash it, and it's only up from there. Then there's Michael B Jordan as Johnny Storm, who is definitely going to smash it. Again, he's known only by some, thanks to brilliant but not barnstorming performances in The Wire and based-on-true drama Fruitvale Station. After The Fantastic Four, however, they're all going to be superstars. As well they should be. Toby Kebbell, all you need to do is keep up that Doctor Doom voice, and refer to yourself in the third person at least once. AS IS DOOM'S WANT.
