News broke Thursday that Fox had cast its four main characters for Josh Trank's Fantastic Four reboot movie. The reports stated that Miles Teller would play Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Kate Mara as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm/Human Torch and Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm/The Thing. But Mara's recent comments clouded the situation somewhat.

Mara spoke with MTV News, which asked her if the truly is playing the part in the new movie.

"According to Twitter, I am," she replied. "I literally have not heard a thing, which is alarming," Mara told MTV News. "Last night in bed, I was scrolling through movie news. I was like, 'What? I got the part?' I still haven't heard. I want LA to wake up so that I can make some phone calls and figure this out."

The site asked her to clarify, and she said, "I literally don't know 100 percent that I have that part. I don't like to celebrate before something's real because how embarrassing would that be? I hope so."

Finally, MTV News asked about any potential controversy surrounding the casting of an African-American, Jordan, as the Human Torch (who is Sue Storm's sister).

"Again, I credit Josh Trank for that because... he thinks outside the box," Mara said. "I don't actually know whose idea that was, but it just makes me trust that he's going to make an awesome movie. Regardless of myself, I'm such a massive fan of all those guys."

What do you think? Will Mara play Sue Storm? Let us know in the comments below.
