“Fantastic Four” Stars Visit Brooklyn for Premiere

Peter Kramer/NBC((NEW YORK) — The stars of Fantastic Four were in Brooklyn, New York, Tuesday night for the premiere of the superhero movie.

Michael B. Jordan and Kate Mara play the brother-and-sister duo of Johnny Storm and Sue Storm. For Jordan, it was a role that meant a lot to him personally.

He said, “Being able to be a superhero, a childhood character I always looked up to, emulated and pretended to be as a kid, it’s a dream come true.”

Mara explained the actors’ approach to their roles: “Our director and our producers really wanted our take on playing superheroes to be very relatable and like real human beings, so, the powers are just another special thing about them.”

Fantastic Four, also starring Miles Teller as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic and Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm/The Thing, hits theaters on Friday.
