Wire veteran will be Sue & Johnny Storm's dad
Having cast one veteran of The Wire in Michael B. Jordan, Fantastic Four reboot director Josh Trank is letting his gritty crime drama flag fly once more, adding fellow former fictional Detroit resident Reg E. Cathey as his father.
Cathey, who spent several seasons playing Norman Wilson on the critically adored HBO series, is set to play Dr. Storm, dad to both Jordan’s Johnny and Kate Mara’s Sue Storm. His connection with his cinematic progeny continues, as he plays Freddy in House Of Cards, which features Mara as journalist Zoe Barnes. As for how Dr. Storm will fit into the plot, that's anyone's guess, since Trank and co. are keeping their plans invisible for now.
The Fantastic Four also boasts Miles Teller as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm/The Thing, Tobey Kebbell as Dr. Doom and the recently announced Tim Blake Nelson as Harvey Elder. With a script that has seen work from Jeremy Slater, T.S, Nowlin and Simon Kinberg, the film is shooting now, aiming for a June 18, 2015 release date over here.
