20th Century Fox is gearing up to start testing actors for their reboot of Marvel Comics’ Fantastic Four, according to Variety.

Among the names said to be in the running for three of the four leads (no word on Ben Grimm/The Thing role) are Kit Harington, Jack O’Connell and Miles Teller (Reed Richards); Saoirse Ronan, Kate Mara and Margot Robbie (Sue Storm); and Michael B. Jordon (Johnny Storm).

Josh Trank will direct the big screen reboot, which is currently set for release on March 6, 2015.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
