Mara follows in the footsteps of Jessica Alba, who took on the role of Sue Storm in the last two "Fantastic Four" movies. Though details of Mara's portrayal have not been released, fans are expecting that she will still be Johnny Storm's sister and have powers that turn her invisible and enable her to generate force fields.
Jordan will be playing the role of Johnny Storm, also known as the Human Torch. The character was portrayed by Chris Pine in the previous films. The reboot's casting has been controversial so far, but Jordan's casting has been the most talked about. The character of Johnny Storm has always been portrayed as Caucasian in the comics and in the past two films, so there are speculations that in the new film, Sue may have been adopted, as the role of Sue and Johnny's father will be played by Reg E. Cathey.
Bell was selected to play the role of The Thing, previously played by Michael Chiklis, and Toby Kebbell was hired to play Dr. Doom.
The "Fantastic Four" reboot will be released on June 19, 2015.
