When the Fantastic Four casting was announced it sparked plenty of discussion and dissatisfaction from fans due its different approach to the comic book characters. Michael B. Jordan (who will play the Human Torch) has spoken up about fan criticism and shared his take on, and familiarity with, the character.
Cinefilos.it posted a video from an event in Rome, where Jordan addressed the concerns, calling them “expected.” Jordan likened the outcry to fans not being happy with a change in continuity, and accepts that he “can’t make everybody happy.”
Jordan went on to say he grew up “a comic book guy” and that the Human Torch is a favourite character of his. Jordan elaborated on his approach to the character, saying, “It’s going to be fun to kind of show a side of me that I don’t really get to show on screen, to be a little bit lighter, funnier, just more personality. It’s going to be fun.”
While some fans haven’t been pleased with Jordan’s ethnicity differing from the comic book version of the Human Torch, it seems as though Jordan will retain the comedic and youthfully energetic side of the character.
Check out the Jordan’s full response in the video below:
Joining Jordan as Human Torch is Kate Mara as Invisible Woman, Miles Teller as Mr. Fantastic and Jamie Bell as The Thing. Directed by Josh Trank, with a script from Simon Kinberg, The Fantastic Four hits theatres June 19, 2015.
