We recently reported that Girls star Allison Williams was up for what we assumed was the role of Johnny’s sister Susan the Invisible Woman. Jordan is black and Williams is white, which raises questions regarding Johnny and Susan's parentage in the film, considering they are brother and sister in the comics, but certainly adoption or making them step-siblings are among the options if both of these casting choices are finalized.In addition to being a part of the commercially successful superpower flick Chronicle, Jordan has gained notice with roles in the highly-acclaimed TV series The Wire and Friday Night Lights. He also recently impressed audiences with a heart-wrenching performance in Fruitvale Station, a movie that earned critical acclaim at Sundance.Fantastic Four director Josh Trank previously collaborated with Jordan on Chronicle. According to The Wrap, Jordan has had multiple meetings with 20th Century Fox about playing Johnny Storm in the past week. The final call will be made following chemistry readings with the other actors in contention to play the rest of the team.
