While no true details have leaked from Simon Kinsberg's script, it's believed that the movie's villain remains Doctor Doom. If that is still the case the character of Doom would be the final major member of the production left to be cast.

After her belly-baring role in 2003's "Honey," Jessica Alba will be showing much less of herself in her next project.

The 23-year-old has landed the part of Invisible Girl, a woman with the ability to disappear, in 20th Century Fox's comic book adaptation "Fantastic Four," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

She completes the cast that includes "The Shield's" Michael Chiklis, "King Arthur's" Ioan Gruffudd and Chris Evans. They comprise the titular foursome who develops strange powers after being exposed cosmic radiation while aboard a spaceship.

Reed "Mr. Fantastic" Richards (Gruffudd) can bend or elongate any body part, Johnny Storm (Evans), aka The Human Torch can bend fire to his will, including bursting his body into flame, and Ben "The Thing" Grimm (Chiklis) is a rocky misshapen monster with tremendous strength and a tender heart.

"Barbershop" director Tim Story will helm the project, which is aiming for a summer 2005 release.

Alba recently wrapped the scuba diving drama "Into the Blue" and has a role in Robert Rodriguez's upcoming ensemble adaptation of popular graphic novel "Sin City."
