"Mark Millar has addressed the rumours of Michael B Jordan&amp;#039;s Fantastic Four casting. The actor has been mentioned in connection to the role of the Human Torch in Chronicle director Josh Trank&amp;#039;s 20th Century Fox reboot.   &amp;quot;To be honest, I don&amp;#039;t know, I only read that stuff online and I haven&amp;#039;t actually asked Josh,&amp;quot; Millar told Crave Online. &amp;quot;I meant to ask him. I think it would be tricky to have one member of the Storm family black and one white. Is he adopted? I don&amp;#039;t know how you would play that.&amp;quot; He added that the casting was not beyond the realms of possibility.  &amp;quot;It just has to be good,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I think that it&amp;#039;s important sometimes to be beholden to the comics, because I think sometimes the comics are what makes it work. &amp;quot;Marvel has been very clever like that. If you like Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, you&amp;#039;re going to like Marvel movies. &amp;quot;But sometimes mixing up the ethnicities works. It worked with Sam Jackson when we did it in the Ultimates, it worked in the movies subsequently as well.&amp;quot; Johnny Storm has traditionally been portrayed as white. He was played by Chris Evans in the previous two films.  Millar is serving as a consultant for Fox on its Marvel Comics-based films. Jordan was recently named by Andrew Garfield when the Amazing Spider-Man actor was musing about the possibility of a same-sex love interest for the iconic hero. Fantastic Four will arrive in cinemas on March 6, 2015. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
