“One character I always thought I could play is the Thing from Fantastic Four,” Crews said. “Another character I’ve always loved as a fan is Colossus. If there was a way to make that happen that worked, I would love to be Colossus.”
However Crews knows that he can’t just step into the role without some approval.
“You can’t make yourself President; the people make you the President. If people want me to be a part of this superhero genre, it’ll happen. People get what they want.”
But what if Crews doesn’t get a role? He says he’ll make one up himself.
“I feel like we need to make new superheroes, African-American superheroes, that people would accept. Whatever I do, it has to be right – for me, for the character, and for the fans.”
There’s been almost no news regarding the upcoming reboot of Fantastic Four lately, save for X-Men: Days of Future Past screenwriter Simon Kinberg coming on to rework the screenplay, but with a March 6, 2015 release date already set, casting should be coming together soon. We reccomend Fox at least meet with Mr. Crews about the part.
