from AICN:

Your proverbial gates have probably already been flooded with this LATE-BREAKING NEWS, but I felt compelled to put it out there. Here it is: according to the most reputable trade Variety (which I don't have a subscription to, sorry), 20th Century Fox has cast THREE of its FOUR Fantasticos: Ioan Gruffudd ("Horatio Hornblower," 'King Arthur') will fill the elastipants of Reed Richards, Michael Chiklis ("The Shield") will be everyone's ever-lovin,' blue-eyed Thing, and Chris Evans ('Not Another Teen Movie,' 'The Perfect Score,' 'Cellular') will be Johnny Storm. Still uncast is the role of Sue Richards, although supposedly, Jessica Alba ("Dark Angel," 'Honey') is the lead contender. The other two frontrunners for the part are Keri Russel ("Felicity") and Rachel McAdams ('Mean Girls' and 'The Notebook'), who I believe Beaks interviewed recently and hinted at being up for the part.

no clue who Ioan or Chris is, but thats probably a GOOD thing.
