'Fantastic Four' Reboot Cast: Michael B. Jordan, Miles Teller, Kate Mara and Jamie Bell Land Roles

After months of rumors, we finally know who'll be engaging in some clobberin' time in Fox's upcoming Fantastic Four reboot. According to a Variety report, Michael B. Jordan, Miles Teller, Kate Mara and Jamie Bell have landed the starring roles of Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman and Ben Grimm/The Thing.

Jordan has long been attached to the Fantastic Four, with his name being floated for a role pretty much the moment his Chronicle director Josh Trank was announced to helm the reboot. The actor is coming off a much-buzzed-about performance in Fruitvale Station. Variety reports that Jordan is already locked in for the role

Teller has also been mentioned as Reed Richards for several months now, and comes into the project with his star on the rise thanks to The Spectacular Now and the upcoming films Divergent and Whiplash. He can also currently be seen costarring in That Awkward Moment alongside Jordan. According to Variety, Teller's casting is dependent on whether or not he can make it work with the shooting schedule for Insurgent, the Divergent sequel.

Mara has become a pop culture icon due to her starring role in Netflix's House of Cards. Fantastic Four would be the actress' biggest movie role yet. Mara is in final negotiations for the role of Sue Storm, according to Variety.

As Variety notes, Bell has previously done motion-capture work for The Adventures of Tintin and would most likely don a mo-cap suit again to play The Thing in Fantastic Four. Michael Chiklis portrayed the character through traditional makeup and costumes in the previous two Fantastic Four movies. Bell has yet to ink a deal.

Now we just need to know which actor (or actress?) Fox casts to play Dr. Doom.
