The "Fantastic Four" reboot's most controversial casting choice is Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm, if only for the curiosity on how they'd handle the interracial question. But there are more reasons to be excited and even Chris Evans chimes in.

Chris Evans played Johnny Storm in the Fantastic Four movies in the early 2000s. Now, he has moved on to a bigger role as Captain America. Now, Michael B. Jordan will provide a unique take on the role, exactly as director Josh Trank wants it.

Michael B. Jordan talks to The Source Magazine:

On finally being allowed to announce his role:

"Oh man! A huge relief. It was like...walking around knowing that for like a year since me and Josh Trank, we talked about this when he first got the job. It's something that we tried to make happen. We knew we had a lot of obstacles in the way and a lot of mountains to move but, you know, for whatever reason things just fell into place and ... [20th Century] Fox believed in the situation and believed in me and yeah, we got it done. So that's definitely something that me and Josh [Trank] celebrated at the wrap. We were just like we did it."

How was the experience on the set?

"Yeah man it's been a lot of fun. Johnny Storm is such an iconic character. There's a lot of personality traits and things to him that people are really going to look forward to seeing. Got a lot of original Johnny stuff in there and then you have - not a NEW take but a fresh take. We have a different take on different things as well. I could go on and on about it but I think it's something that people will enjoy."

Did Chris Evans give him advice on how to tackle the role?

"Nah. It is a reboot you know, it's its own thing. It's its own origins story. I did get a chance to talk to Chris [Evans] about it, I met him at this event and he was basically like, "Man I can't give you anything." He said, "You're great, you're awesome. Just do your thing. And enjoy it. It's gonna be fun." That was just a really cool piece of information, words of encouragement from the guy who killed the role. He really did a really great job and hats off to him with how talented he is cause he's doing an amazing job with "Captain America." I really enjoy those films as well so that's kind of pretty much where that was."

"Fantastic Four" opens on June 19, 2015. Fox believes in it so much, they already have a sequel targeted for July 14, 2017.
