I am not sure how they will pull of the African American Human torch (I mean nothing racial by that statement, I just wonder how they will write it in?? Will him and Sue be step brother/sister??) BTW, I thought they pulled of Reed Richards pretty well in the first two but I agree about Galactus being a bit underwhelming. To each their own.
The black Human Torch will be a risk on the part of the film's producers. The casting may fail but Michael B. Jordan is a fine actor with the acting chops to pull it off. The rest is up to the director to integrate (no pun intended) Jordan's character into the plot seamlessly. Hollywood has twisted casting expectations for nearly a century, for both fictional and real character parts alike. Just one of many examples: How many actresses have played the part of the history's Cleopatra who were Caucasian? lol!
I think you are right. If I recall correctly, Johnny and Sue will be step-siblings.
We do disagree about how Richards' intellect has been portrayed in movies to this point. I think if Robert Downey Jr. and Ioan Gruffudd were placed in the same film together, vocalizing scientific jargon and operating mechanical tech derived from their respective film franchises, Stark would easily eat Richards' lunch.
As a child, I remember how impressed I was with Kirby's visualization of Galactus' worldship alone. Just the worldship he traveled in, mind you, and not his solar system spanning base of operations. It was easily the size of a moon. The closest Hollywood special effect representation I would associate with Kirby's art would be George Lucas's Death Star. That was equally ominous-looking on the big screen in the
Star Wars films.
