Jon Snow and Others On The Short-List for Fox's FANTATSIC FOUR Reboot 

 

Variety reported some interesting names on the list to test for Dr. Reed Richards and Susan Storm, aka Mr. Fantastic and The Invisible Woman, part of Marvel's first family in the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot, being directed by Chronicle's Josh Trank with Gregory Goodman and X-Men: First Class/Kick-Ass's Matthew Vaughn producing.

With Simon Kinberg being brought on to do a polish on the script, Fox is now preparing to test a handful of thesps for the roles of Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic, and Sue Storm, aka the Invisible Girl, in the upcoming “Fantastic Four” reboot.

Sources tell Variety that Kit Harington, Jack O’Connell and Miles Teller are in line to get test offers to read for the role of Richards while Saoirse Ronan, Kate Mara and Margot Robbie are being tested for Storm. As of right now Michael B. Jordan is the only name being mentioned as a possibility to play Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch, but that could still change.

So we got Kit Harington, who is set to make his leading man debut in Paul W.S. Anderson's upcoming Historical-epic-drama, POMPEII, and already has a sizeable following on "HBO's Game of Thrones"; Miles Teller, who has been a charismatic lead in 21 And Over, Footloose, Project X, and the acclaimed The Spectacular Now; and Jack O'Connell from the UK's "Skins", as well as the upcoming 300: Rise of an Empire.

Then to the girls for Invisible Woman, Sue Storm, we've got Saorise Ronan who's just fantastic in her roles from The Lovely Bones, HANNA, and the upcoming How I Live Now; Kate Mara from 127 Hours and FX's "American Horror Story"; and Margot Robbie, about to make her *big*-screen American appearance with The Wolf of Wall-Street.

Still no word on Ben Grimm aka "The Thing", and Michael B. Jordon is still apparently rumored for Johnny Storm aka "The Human Torch".

What do you all think? Who would you liked to see in Fantastic Four?
