"Flame on" is a catchphrase long used by Johnny Storm in the comics when transforming into his Human Torch alter ego.

Additional casting rumours emerged today (February 20) that Mara was in line to play Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, while Miles Teller was being eyed for Reed Richards/Mr Fantastic and Jamie Bell had been offered the role of Ben Grimm/The Thing.

Mara lent credence to those rumours with a message posted on her Twitter account earlier today.

Feeling invisible....in a wonderful way:)
