Avengers 2- New Recruits: The Human Torch

The Human Torch

Like I mentioned before, there are plans to reboot the Fantastic Four franchise. If this does get off the floor, the Human Torch can be another lively member to add onto the Avengers cast. He is the youngest of the Fantastic Four usually characterized as being brash, impetuous and fun-loving. Chris Evans brought him to life in 2005 and 2007, but who can light him up in his next re-incarnation?





Justin Chambers is one option. He has that cute, cocky smirk down pat as he has demonstrated over and over again on Grey's Anatomy. He's relatively young and can show dimensions of this character. We know he has the looks. After all he is a former Calvin Klein model. Plus as Doctor Karev, he has been giving the Dr. Mc's a run for their money sometimes.





Another option is Emile Hirsch. This young actor is amazing and has proven it in movies like Milk and Into The Wild, but he also doesn't mind being in cartoon-like movies which was demonstrated when he played the title role of Speed Racer.







Sam Claflin is an up and coming actor who shined in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, showed his stuff in Snow White and The Huntsman, and is now bringing to life Finnick in Hunger Games: Catching Fire. He has played the good, trust worthy guy, lets see if he can play the good boy with attitude.






Jim Sturgess amazed me in Cloud Atlas and he was fun to watch in 21. Now, can I picture him suiting up in a tight blue spandex suit and scream out, at the top of his lungs, "Flame on!" Maybe not, but I am willing to give him the chance.






Not many might have heard of him outside the loyal fanbase of the the Syfy show Merlin, but Bradley James is a young actor who can do well. He has been honing his skills playing the arrogant Arthur character who is forced to grow up and mature so he may lead his kingdom. These traits can lend themselves to the Human Torch. Plus, I like the idea of not-well known actors getting their breaks in well known franchises.



Who do you think should be The Human Torch?
