The Fantastic Four: 10 Things You Need To Know

10. It's Got A Pretty Stellar Cast

Marvel manage to convince some great actors to join their Cinematic Universe €“ with David Tennant being the most recent addition, as the villain in upcoming Netflix series AKA Jessica Jones €“ but 20th Century Fox have got them beat when it comes to the ensembles. The Fantastic Four reboot has an amazingly talented central cast of the sort not seen since, well, Fox's X-Men. Billy Elliot's Jamie Bell might not seem the obvious choice for The Thing, who's almost literally built like a brick sh*thouse, but he's done some fantastic work in recent years. Then you have Kate Mara from House Of Cards as The Invisible Woman; young up-and-comer Miles Teller, fresh off the success of indie music drama Whiplash, as Mr Fantastic; and The Wire's peerlessly charismatic Michael B Jordan as the peerlessly charismatic Human Torch.
