That's a shock to me. IIRC, he was an USAF pilot before the space trip. You have to be a grown adult to do that.

Unless I'm thinking of Ben?

From memory Ben piloted the ship. Johnny was an expert car driver with a troubled past.
Surprised he was even allowed on the ship. But he was definitely the youngest of the four.

And as Mindset stated he's the around the same age as Peter Parker. Who was a high schooler at the time of his transformation.

Is he really that young? He's younger than me.

Johnny was a teenager when he got his powers.

Ben was a pilot/astronaut.

Well he has obviously aged throughout the years. 50 yrs of Marvel comics.

But an important comicbook fact is comic characters don't age as fast as throughout the years as we do.

The original X-Men were teenagers as well. Now they are as far as I'm concerned in their 30s. Spidey and Johnny are as well.

Though characters have their ages manipulated at major stages in both the Marvel and DC universes.

They'd delayed the release date from March 2015 to June 2015. I think there's a lot of infighting behind the scenes, regarding casting. Potentially casting black actors as Sue & Johnny, smacks too much of political correctness.

Being a black person, I have to admit it reeks of PC. It's just like James Bond. If people want cool black characters, start writing fiction with cool black characters instead of trying to change established ones.

James Bond is black, you racist.

Generally I agree, but I did like the transformation of Nick Fury into Samuel L. Jackson. Imo, he fits, as well as, say, Downey Bob jr fits Tony Stark.

Racism is the only reason why this film is put back on the shelf.

But why did race need to be brought up in the first place?

Charismatic actors fit certain roles. Race shouldn't be an issue.

But Johnny Storm , brother of Sue Storm was gonna cause controversy no matter what.

That's because there is a Black Nick Fury with the Ultimate universe

not sure who would've played the other Nick Fury if they went down that path......maybe Stephen Lang.

Dr. Doom.

... if there was ever a role made for Michael Fassbender.

I've said it before, and i mean it, I'd cast Fassbender in multiple roles in the same movie, he's great!

Mads Mikkelsen, though, would be perfect as Doom.

I will be playing Doom.

I was aware of that, but didn't connect it to SLJ until I'd read somewhere that SLJ was in mind when they converted Fury even in the comics.

Agreed. Mads would be perfect for the role.

I've heard News that they're re-booting Fantastic 4, but I really don't understand why. Why is it being re-booted?

Because the movies sucked, and there was a damn complete freakin garbage abomination of Galactus as a damn cloud. That crappy captain America at least they freakin got the visual appearance of the red skull right.
How damn egregious was that the lions going 0-16 freakin egregious.

With Red Skull would've liked him to be wearing that Red Skull mask like he does in the comics rather then an after effect from a experiment with the Super Soldier serum & hints of Hitler grooming him to a symbol

but oh well, It was still an okay portrayal of him.

Oh mistake captain America. Yes it was the cheap ass material but still can't deny it freakin resembled captain America's costume.

The cowboys continue to underachieve that's how I would describe the pathetic ff movies.
