Chronicle star Michael B. Jordan has been discussing a potential reunion with director Josh Trank on the latter’s forthcoming Fantastic Four reboot, and from the way he's talking, it sounds as though there could be a part with his name on it. “Nothing is real. Everyone knows we’re good friends,” said Jordan to USA Today of his relationship with the director. “If it happened I would be ecstatic. I'd love to be a part of it.” USA Today went on to say that Jordan gave a knowing wink before joking, "That wink was off the record." Sounds like...

Recently linked to the role of The Human Torch, Michael B. Jordan has been chatting about the Fantastic Four reboot...

Michael B Jordan's recent link to the role of Johnny Storm/The Human Torch in Josh Trank's Fantastic Four reboot has proved to be somewhat divisive. There are of course those who recognise that Jordan is a fantastic young actor who would bring a lot to the role, but there are also those who seem to be against changing the race of the character.

Whilst promoting his latest film, Fruitville Station, Jordan has been chatting to The Huffington Post and the subject of the Fantastic Four came up. He said that the possibility is there that he'll be joining the film. but added “that's not real yet”. He also acknowledged there will be those that prefer continuity of the Human Torch remaining white, »

18 May 2013 10:40 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »

"Chronicle" star Michael B. Jordan has shot down early online reports that he will re-team with that film's director Josh Trank on the upcoming "Fantastic Four" reboot.

"Nothing is real. Everyone knows we're good friends. It's something that if it happened I would be ecstatic. I'd love to be a part of it" he tells USA Today.

Asked about the fan backlash to his potential casting, he says: "Things change and time goes on, it's 2013 right now. The characteristics of the Human Torch are his name is Johnny Storm, he's charismatic, and he's a playboy. That's it. You know what I'm saying? That's all there is."

Trank helms from a script by Seth Grahame-Smith, Michael Green and Jeremy Slater. »

5 Ways To Make A Stand-Alone Venom Movie Work

18 May 2013 3:05 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

There have been rumblings for a few years that a Venom movie could be in the works. While I seriously have my doubts about it ever happening, I think that there is some serious potential in the project. At one point Josh Trank was supposedly looking into taking up the picture after his break out hit Chronicle but later switched to take on the Fantastic Four.

Venom is one of Spider-Man’s most iconic villains and is beloved by comic book fans and outsiders alike. Perhaps it is down to his wonderful character design, or perhaps it is some of his more complex anti-hero tendencies. While writers struggled for years, not knowing exactly what do with the character after his explosive introduction from Todd Macfarlane, he has recently had a resurgence and is one of my favorite Marvel titles running at the moment.

Michael B. Jordan Hints at Playing Human Torch in Fantastic Four Reboot

17 May 2013 5:05 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »

According to a recent rumor, director Josh Trank is in talks with his "Chronicle" star Michael B Jordan to play the role of Johnny Storm/The Human Torch in the "Fantastic Four" reboot, a role previously played by Chris Evans in the last two films. During a new interview, Jordan spoke about the rumor. "That's not real yet," he hinted. "Everyone knows [Trank and I are] good friends. If it happened I would be ecstatic. I'd love to be a part of it." It seems that there's some truth to the rumor, but Jordan has yet to be officially signed. The actor went on to say that there are no issues with him being a black actor playing a white superhero. "Things change. It's 2013 right now," he said. "The characteristics of The Human Torch are his name is Johnny Storm, he's charismatic, and he's a playboy. That's it." "Fantastic Four" is set to begin »

Michael B. Jordan Addresses Fantastic Four Human Torch Rumor

17 May 2013 4:15 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

A couple weeks ago, a rumor started going around the Friday Night Lights and Chronicle star Michael B. Jordan would be playing the Human Torch in director Josh Trank's reboot of Fantastic Four. The two worked together on Chronicle, so it doesn't seem like it would be out of the question that something like this would happen. 

When the rumor first hit, it seemed like a lot of people thought he would be a good choice for the role and that a lot of fans would embrace it. In a recent interview, Jordan was asked about the rumor, and this is what he had to say:

Nothing is real. Everyone knows we (he and Trank) are good friends. It's something that if it happened I would be ecstatic.

Jordan went on to address the racial difference of the character, which not many people seemed to have issues with in the first place. »

Michael B. Jordan Addresses the Human Torch Fantastic Four Casting Controversy

17 May 2013 12:07 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

Chronicle's Michael B. Jordan, who is winning raves in the critically acclaimed drama Fruitvale Station, recently confronted the controversy surrounding his possibly casting in Fantastic Four. Chronicle director Josh Trank wants to reunite with his former leading man on this reboot, but some fans are against the actor taking on the role of Johnny Storm because the character is white in the comic books.

Michael B. Jordan doesn't think the color of the character's skin should matter in this day and age.

"Things change and time goes on, it's 2013 right now. The characteristics of the Human Torch are his name is Johnny Storm, he's charismatic, and he's a playboy. That's it. You know what I'm saying? That's all there is."

Michael B. Jordan was quick to downplay the rumors that he's already been cast, though.

"That's not real yet. Everyone knows we're (director Josh Trank ) good friends. It's something »

'Fantastic Four': Michael B. Jordan Addresses Human Torch Casting Rumors

17 May 2013 10:37 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

by Brett White

"Chronicle" and "Friday Night Lights" alum Michael B. Jordan has been very vocal recently about rumors that he'll be flaming on as Johnny Storm (the Human Torch) in director Josh Trank's upcoming "Fantastic Four" reboot. The actor addressed the casting rumor in new interviews with both USA Today and the Huffington Post, saying that he is not officially involved yet, but he is very open to the idea.

"Nothing is real. Everyone knows we're good friends," says Jordan, mentioning his friendship with director Josh Trank. "It's something that if it happened I would be ecstatic. I'd love to be a part of it." USA Today notes that Jordan winked "off the record" while making the last statement, which basically means that he has a blue spandex suit in his closet ready to go! Man, jumping to conclusions is fun.

But there's a bit of unfortunate controversy surrounding the casting rumor, »

Michael B. Jordan Addresses Possibly Playing ‘Human Torch’ In Fantastic Four Reboot

17 May 2013 9:14 AM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »

A tiresome debate ignited earlier this month when rising star Michael B. Jordan was revealed to be in early talks to re-team with Chronicle director Josh Trank for Fox's Fantastic Four reboot. Possibly playing the role of Johnny Storm, aka Human Torch, Jordan recently discussed the potential casting with USA Today and The Huffington Post. Revealing first and foremost that, "Nothing is real. Everyone knows we (he and Trank) are good friends," Michael does admit, "It's something that if it happened I would be ecstatic." Addressing his and the superhero's obvious racial difference, Jordan argues that, "Things change and time goes on, it's 2013 right now. I'm all about breaking barriers and changing stuff," says Jordan. "We've got a black president. Times have changed. The characteristics of the Human Torch are his name is Johnny Storm, he's charismatic, and he's a playboy. That's it. You know what I'm saying? That's all »

Michael Jordan Is Finally Famous

17 May 2013 8:58 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Cannes, France — Before "Fruitvale Station," Michael B. Jordan was glimpsed sporadically in supporting roles on TV shows like "The Wire" and "Friday Night Lights," and in films like "Chronicle" and "Red Tails."

That changes emphatically with "Fruitvale Station," a Sundance hit that premiered Thursday night at the Cannes Film Festival. In the film, he plays Oscar Grant, the 22-year-old victim of the infamous 2009 police shooting on the Oakland, Calif., transit system.

To humanize Grant, first-time filmmaker Ryan Coogler fashioned the movie around his last day: Jordan hardly leaves the frame.

"When I first saw it, I was like, `Man, can we cut to something else? I'm tired of looking at myself right now,'" Jordan said in an interview by the beach off the Croisette. "That's when it really sunk in that this is sink or swim. Sink or swim. Hope I'm swimming."

First Look at Dane DeHaan in Metallica: Through The Never

I'm not sure what's going on in this image, but it's our first look at Dane DeHaan (Chronicle) in the new film Metallica: Through the Never. The movie was directed by Nimrod Antal, and in it DeHaan plays a road crew member of the band who is sent out on a mission that turns his life upside down.

First Look: Dane DeHaan in 'Metallica Through the Never' IMAX Film

13 May 2013 1:48 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

Towards the beginning of the year, we learned that specialty film distributor Picturehouse was making a comeback with Metallica Through the Never, a new feature film getting an IMAX release. Now we have a first look at the hybrid concert film and narrative which features Chronicle star Dane DeHaan (who will also be seen in The Amazing Spider-Man 2), and it looks interesting to say the lest. The film is said to follow DeHaan as one of Metallica's crew members sent out on sort of mission during one of Metallica's sold out shows. And the story is supposed to take off from there and get crazy as only Metallica fans would expect. Here's a first look at Nimrod Antal's Metallica Through the Never sent to us from Picturehouse: Starring Metallica, a cast of thousands of their fans and breakout star Dane DeHaan (Chronicle, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 »
