Fantastic Four Reboot Casting Rumors

A resounding: “Meh.”

But could anything change your minds? How about the casting of Adrien Brody and Amber Heard?

Though I’m mixed on having Jonathan Rhys Meyers as the leading member of the team—as effective as he was in Match Point, his presence in From Paris with Love was sorely lacking—the idea of Adrien Brody (who’s both talented and already pretty elastic-looking) playing Mr. Fantastic is enough to revitalize my interest in the Fantastic Four franchise. I wish I could say the same for Amber Heard, but she’s sadly not been given too many opportunities to prove what talent she has outside of being frequently-nude eye candy. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
