kate mara is like the whitest white chick i've ever seen lol I dont see how they're gonna say shes mixed race, but whatever I guess, maybe they are just doing this to stir up some controversy to try and get some people in the movie seats lol I wont be one of them

yeah considering their dad really has no reason to be in the movie at all I honestly see no other reason of them casting him as a black guy then to stick it to the "well the torch shouldn't be black" crowd. and agreed with Quickie there is no way in HELL Kate Mara has a drop of biracialness in her

There are a lot of bi-racial actors out there. They could not find two that will fit the bill? It just seems like the casting director didn't get the memo.

All due respect Bulls I'm in a mixed-race family and associate with literally dozens of other families of mixed race from every spectrum and combination imaginable. While you are correct in stating that in some instances one parents genetics come through stronger than the other, in every case our children always share traits of both parents; typically is a 60/40 split. In this case you have two actors that separately, but very distinctly, embody Caucasian and African-American traits.

As one of the other members said, I don't know why they want to unnecessarily confuse the situation.

im shocked that Marvel or Sony or Fox or whoever owns the rights to the F4 approved all of this.

there isn't anything wrong with mixed racial families. heck the majority of us are multiracial to some degree.

only way i see it working is if Johnny's father who is black. and Sue's mother who is white. and both of them had children before they met.
and then got married when the kids were at a very young age and Sue took Johnny's fathers last name when he adopted her.
and thats fine. ok cool. but seriously. i really think Truckleberry is just trying to mix things up for the hell of it in thinking he is going to be hailed as some sort of film making genius.
this just isn't going to be the F4 as they are known in the comic universe.. its going to be a film loosely based on the characters from that group of superheroes.
which it a pretty bold move. bold but stupid.

The blended family will be the best way to go but as I said it smacks of over complicating things and being controversial for the sake of. Should have let Miley Cyrus play Sue in that case

If it wasn't Trank it'd have been somebody else. It's the studio who's calling the shots, not the director.
