Fantastic 4 Reboot: 10 Things We Already Know

7. The Extended Family

As we've just touched upon in the last entry, we already know who Johnny Storm's father is going to be in this movie - and he's going to be played by black actor Reg E. Cathey. Doctor Franklin Storm is a renowned surgeon in the Marvel comics universe who ended up in jail when a loan shark he owed money to accidentally shot himself when struggling with Storm in a debate over said money. He asked Sue to tell Johnny that he was dead, rather than have to tell him his father was in jail - even though he didn't actually commit the crime he was in for. It'll be interesting to see what his role is in this movie.
