The first photos of the cast from the new Fantastic Four movie have started to circulate throughout the web. I was a little unsure at first when I heard about the cast: Ioan Gruffudd as Reed Richards, Jessica Alba as Susan Storm, Chris Evans as Johnny Storm, and Michael Chiklis as Ben Grimm. Julian McMahon has supposedly been cast as Doc Doom but no image as been released yet of what he'll look like.
But looking at them in their navy costumes, well, they do look like the Fantastic Four, except that Johnny's apparently not going to be blonde. Gruffudd looks the most like his comic alter-ego straight down to the graying temples, while Alba looks more super-model than super-hero. And for all you anti-computer generated Hulk people, it looks like Chiklis will be wearing a Thing suit.
Of course, I haven't seen anything yet about how their powers will turn out on the big screen, or even the plot, but this seems to be a promising beginning. Supposedly, the overall feel of the movie is based more the updated "Ultimate FF" than the regular long-standing series. The movie's should be coming out summer 2005, and you can check out the pictures yourself at either Comics Continuum or Super Hero Hype.

Hmmm sounds interesting. Hope they have a good writer to make the story cool like Spiderman. It would be interesting to see Ioan as Reed Richards. Keep us posted about new movie projects.
