Unfortunately, the reveal of Michael B. Jordan playing the titular Johnny Storm role in the upcoming 'Fantastic Four' reboot wasn't received with the best response.

It's evident that the actor doesn't fit the original mold of the character, as Storm in the comics was depicted as a blonde haired white male. Movie adaptations have been classically known to use their own take on the characters and plot to fit their desired story.

The actor recently took to EW to address what really may be perturbing fans in a public letter.

"You're not supposed to go on the Internet when you're cast as a superhero. But after taking on Johnny Storm in Fantastic Four-a character originally written with blond hair and blue eyes-I wanted to check the pulse out there. I didn't want to be ignorant about what people were saying. Turns out this is what they were saying: 'A black guy? I don't like it. They must be doing it because Obama's president' and 'It's not true to the comic.' Or even, 'They've destroyed it!'," states Jordan.

He continues, "It used to bother me, but it doesn't anymore. I can see everybody's perspective, and I know I can't ask the audience to forget 50 years of comic books. But the world is a little more diverse in 2015 than when the Fantastic Four comic first came out in 1961. Plus, if Stan Lee writes an email to my director saying, 'You're good. I'm okay with this,' who am I to go against that?"

Jordan's frustration seems to not only be with the public's response with his casting, but with people discrediting his aptitude as an actor.

"Sometimes you have to be the person who stands up and says, 'I'll be the one to shoulder all this hate. I'll take the brunt for the next couple of generations.' I put that responsibility on myself. People are always going to see each other in terms of race, but maybe in the future we won't talk about it as much. Maybe, if I set an example, Hollywood will start considering more people of color in other prominent roles, and maybe we can reach the people who are stuck in the mindset that 'it has to be true to the comic book.' Or maybe we have to reach past them."

'Fantastic Four' drops into theaters on August 7, 2015.
