Studio 20th Century Fox announced earlier this month that it planned to overhaul the superhero franchise, while it was not clear if the stars of the first two movies would be involved in the update.
The 28-year-old, who played Johnny Storm in the Marvel Comic adaptations, said that he would like to see the venture take on a darker edge akin to what director Christopher Nolan did with The Dark Knight.
He told Collider: "I think there's room to readjust the tone in Fantastic Four as it was for Batman. If they can go make a good, dark, edgy Fantastic Four right on."
The actor added that he would be interested in reprising Storm, especially if Nolan was brought on to helm the production.
He said: "So if Fantastic Four got rebooted and Christopher Nolan was going to direct it and said, 'Do you want to play Johnny Storm again?' I'd be in those blue f**king tights."
Evans recently joined the cast of Edgar Wright's adaptation of comic book Scott Pilgrim Vs The World.
