  Alba, 23, joins a cast that includes Michael Chiklis as Ben
  Grimm/Thing, Chris Evans as Johnny Storm/Human Torch and Ioan Gruffudd
  as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic.

  Alba reportedly beat out such actresses as Elizabeth Banks (Betty Brant in Spider-Man 2) and Rachel McAdams for the role.

  Alba is perhaps best known for starring in Fox’s Dark Angel television
  series. Her movie credits include Honey and the upcoming Into the Blue
  and Sin City.

  The cast of Fantastic Four is scheduled to appear at Comic-Con International in San Diego next week.

  

  wow, Jessica Alba as the Invisible Woman, who would have thunk
  that?  I guess we’re going for a different kind of Sue
  Storm.  I’m hoping they don’t dye her hair blonde, cuz I don’t
  think it’ll work.

  btw, NEW EPISODES OF SMALLVILLE begins Sept 22, Wednesday at 8pm on the WB.
