Brody, Rhys Meyers for 'Fantastic Four'?

Adrien Brody and Jonathan Rhys Meyers are in the running to star in the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot, it has been reported.

The two actors are top of Twentieth Century Fox's wishlist to play Reed Richards, also known as Mr Fantastic, according to Screen Rant.

The report also denied previous rumours that the film will be called Fantastic Four: Reborn.

The reboot of the comic book franchise follows 2005's Fantastic Four and 2007's Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, which were largely panned by critics despite making more than $600 million (£384.4 million) in global box office takings.
