Despite revealing Doctor Doom, some important action points and plot details, the debut of the new Fantastic Four 2015 reboot movie trailer reminded the world of the bi-racial siblings featured in the upcoming movie. Michael B. Jordan and Kate Mara play Johnny and Sue Storm, and that might be a little hard to understand for most, but a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! with Jordan should at least clear up how the actor feels about the subject! Watch a video clip of this interview below!

"Kate Mara, I don't know if you know this, is a white person," the host jokingly tells the young actor after sharing some excitement over the movie project. Jordan, who had to deal with some racism issues when he was cast as The Human Torch, was quick to give a smart answer.
"I'm pretty sure there's white people out there with other ethnicities' brothers and sisters. Doesn't mean biological. It's the world that we live in," he said.
Kimmel pressed on, though, asking if this race factor was some kind of "big secret" of the movie (via The Hollywood Reporter).
"It's kind of self-explanatory," Jordan said. "It's one of those things where I don't like drawing attention to the ignorance sometimes. You gotta let it be what it is."
To make sure he was clear with the audience and the host, Jordan added: "There's a thing called adoption. It happens."
