It looks like either Kitt Harington or Richard Madden are going to be changing out of their winter fur cloaks and into a spandex costume, as both are in talks to star as Mr. Fantastic in the “Fantastic Four” reboot.

After keeping quiet for a long time on the project, news about the revisited franchise has suddenly began to flow like the river Ganges. First, it's been reported that the rewritten version of the script is not complete, and then that the casting process has begun.

Here is where it gets good: the role of Mr. Fantastic is said to be up for grabs between Miles Teller and “Game of Thrones” actors Richard Madden and Kit Harington. At the moment, all three have equal chances in the casting process.

The next role on the casting list is that of Sue Storm, aka the Invisible Woman. Among those being selected for the casting process are Kate Mara and Saoirse Ronan, according to Variety.

The roles of Johnny Storm and The Thing are going to be cast later in the production process, also based on group chemistry.

The reboot of “The Fantastic Four” is slated for release on June 19, 2015.
