Jamie Bell and Michael B. Jordan Would Welcome 'Fantastic Four' Sequel
As 20th Century Fox prepares to relaunch its Fantastic Four franchise this coming weekend, two stars from the Josh Trank-directed reboot, Jamie Bell (The Thing) and Michael B. Jordan (The Human Torch), where asked what they’d like to see in the sequel, which currently has a release date set for June 2017.
"You can’t get away from Silver Surfer," states Bell. "I know chronologically speaking that was the next villain in the previous franchise but I think Silver Surfer is cool looking. I’d like to see more of how the characters interact with each other famously from the comic. It would be appealing to me. This one very much is to get them to that point, to take them from people you don’t know, to transition into characters you can recognize. The job of the next film is taking it further and having the characters already established, seeing them interact in the very famous kind of way. Things between me and Johnny get very antagonistic. More of a blossoming love story between Reed and Sue. More of a family dynamic. Stuff like that would be great There’s a wealth of material and with a 90 minute run time of an origin story it’s very difficult to fit it all in."
Michael B. Jordan was asked the same question as Bell, and gave the following answer, "Namor is a cool one," said Jordan. "He is by far, he’s the strongest mutant. You know what I’m saying? Maybe not by far, but he’s the strongest mutant. It would be a pretty interesting battle, the Fantastic Four vs. Namor. The classic one where he’s running rampant and the only way he’ll stop is if he gets a kiss from Sue right in front of Reed. It’s awesome. I think that would make for a good movie and storyline."
