Ready for the next superhero movie to begin casting? You know it’s going to be another obnoxious process of rumors and shortlists, but isn’t it fun being able to chime in on possible players? It may indeed allow us all to influence decisions and be a part of the development, or at least seem so. Now it’s the ***Fantastic Four ***reboot](http://www.moviefone.com/movie/fantastic-four/10014982/main?icid=movsmartsearch), which *Screen Rant *assures us](Exclusive: Adrien Brody or Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Mr. Fantastic) will not be titled Fantastic Four Reborn, as we’ve been hearing.
First up is Mr. Fantastic, aka Reed Richards, who is said to be stretched between two possible actors, Oscar-winner **Adrien Brody **(The Pianist) and The Tudors star Jonathan Rhys Meyers](Jonathan Rhys Meyers | Moviefone), according to Screen Rant’s sources. Both are Fox’s “pursuits” and nothing more, but it’s at least clear the studio is going for the tradition of “high-profile” talent audiences are expecting from superhero movies lately. I kind of hate the idea of Brody being an elastic superhero, but I think this would be the one he’s best-suited for (he’s also apparently linked to *Ant-Man *rumors), as the character could be sort of like a mix of his recent roles in *Splice *and Predators, both of which were done surprisingly well. Especially compared to how uncomfortable with and unsuited for action he seemed in King Kong.Filed under: Casting, RumorMonger, 20th Century Fox, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels
