FF casting

First the F4...
Reed Richards canidates...
Jon Snow
Miles Teller from project x
some irish/british actor named Jack O'Connell
Sue Storm canidates
I vote for number 2 on Sue, she'll be opposite Leo in Wolf of Wall Street.
The Reed candidates are way too young.
Michael B.Jordan is still the favorite to play Johnny Storm..
If this movie doesn't start filming by next year, Marvel Studios re-acquires the rights and the FF can be integrated into the MCU.
I've said before how I don't wish for Jordan,an actor, I like to playing J Storm, for several reasons. However if this jackass Chronicle director is so intent on having him in the movie(and having the cast so young), why not cast him as two of the more interesting roles(traditionally) of the book- The Thing or Dr.Doom? Doom is possibly the top bad guy in the Marvel U, and a good villain makes or breaks a movie.
Looking at some of the better superhero movies in the last decade, the villian is usually a better actor than the lead(or at least his equal)..
examples:
Ledger,Neeson & Hardy all were in Bale's class
Bridges was a great foil to RDJ.
Hiddleston is a better actor than Hemmsworth, equalish to the Avengers cast.
Michael Shannon is a better actor than Cavill.
Fassbender as Magneto(though not the villain) is superior to McAvoy.
So why not cast him as Doom? Is Hollywood afraid of making a black actor the villain in a comic movie,especially if the hero is white?
Aside from the Jordan rant, thoughts on casting rumors?or would you prefer the FF to go back to Marvel Studios(despite rumored filming in La.)?
ETA: images should be fixed.

Michael B. Jordan and Kate Mara are too good for Fantastic Four.

Any guesses how they're gonna spin the siblings with this casting? Adopted?

Electro is played by Jaime Foxx in the new Amazing Spiderman.

Nah, Jamie Foxx is the villain in the next Spider-Man movie.
EDIT: Beat me to it.

Sounds like a huge disaster waiting to happen. Just let it go back to Marvel Studios as I think they could make the right movie as well as incorporate Dr. Doom into an Avengers movie.

Why are they making Reed so young. Not liking that at all.

I agree with this. Fox has been fricking up Marvel IPs from the get go.
I forgot about Foxx in AS2. I guess that works, still my point about casting Jordan as a more interesting character like Doom or Thing is much better than shoehorning a black/white brother-sister combo.
Besides the fact that there are plenty of really interesting black characters to play in comics.
Casting Reed so young is terrible. They should go a little older with Reed, but Sue should be in her mid 20s.
I guess the FFs biggest problem is who is the central character? Reed? Sue? Johnny? Ben? or do you make Doom the central figure in the movie?
