6 Movie Characters Who Should Have Accepted The Ice Bucket Challenge

5. Johnny Storm

What a difference a decade makes. Next year, Chris Evans will once again show up on the big screen as do-gooding angstophile Steve Rogers in Avengers: Age of Ultron, making it five outings in as many years. Ten years ago, however, Evans was a relative unknown gearing up for his breakout role as Johnny Storm, aka The Human Torch, in Fantastic Four. The film came out and nobody liked it, so two years later they made a sequel nobody liked. Next year, Johnny Storm will return in The Fantastic Four reboot, and if we don€™t like that one there€™s already a 2017 sequel scheduled for us to dislike. Predictably, lots of people don€™t really like the sound of the casting either; people who willingly accept the idea of a group of superpowered beings that are made of rock/stretch like elastic/can turn invisible, but apparently balk at the idea of one of them being played by a black man. There€™s a word for those people, and it rhymes with 'bankers'. Why he should accept the challenge: Bit of a no-brainer for someone who can spontaneously combust and, rather fortuitously, has three friends awaiting nomination. He can either accept the challenge and 'Flame On' to instantly recover from the soaking or, if his helpers have made the mistake of using a metal pail, melt the bucket to their hands as a lesson on the potential perils of schadenfreude. And deliver an hilarious quip while he€™s at it, possibly along the lines of "Too hot to handle?" (The Fantastic Four filmmakers, please note: this line is yours to add to the script, though we suspect it€™s already in there.)
