MBJ For ID4-2?

 

Going on rumour alone, Michael B. Jordan is set for one of the most impressive movie careers of the next few years.

The star of Chronicle, TheWire and Friday Night Lights has been linked with the role of Johnny Storm in the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot, the title role in Creed, the planned quasi-sequel to Rocky, and an un-named role in Star Wars Episode VII.

And now The Wrap are reporting that the rising star has been holding meetings with Roland Emmerich for an undisclosed role in Independence Day 2. No deal has yet been reached, and as with his other rumoured roles, there is no confirmation on any of this. But it looks like Jordan could be a very busy boy.

Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman have already signed up to return as computer whizz David and (presumably now former) President Whitmore respectively, while Will Smith is apparently still in talks to reprise his star-making role as Capt. Hiller.

It's worth noting that Fantastic Four, Star Wars Episode VII and Independence Day 2 are all currently expected in 2015. The last time a Friday Night Lights star had several big-budget movies in a single year it really proved to be box office gol- Oh.

I don't care how it did in the takings, this was a great movie
