I've followed some of the news for the FF movie, and I think it's gonna be pretty lame. The trailer sorta solidified that for me.

I'm fine with Michael B. Jordan being cast due to him being a really good actor. Johnny Storm's race isn't really an important part of his character compared to other Marvel characters, like Cap.

Everyone else just seems totally miscast, mainly due to them being so young, especially Teller.

Mr. Fantastic is supposed to be at Tony Stark's level when it comes to intelligence and importance and whatever in the comics. So imagine if someone as young as Teller were to have played Tony in the MCU movies. It's just really off-putting.

Maybe they're banking on this becoming a huge franchise and want young actors who will be around for a while. I dunno.

Superhero movies really need to not be scared of their comic origins and stop trying to modernize it (like Doom being a nerdy programmer, really?). And they seriously need to stop being so glum. GotG proved that this could be done.
