Jessica Alba offered details about her character, scientist Susan Storm/The Invisible Woman, in Fox's upcoming Fantastic Four movie. "Fantastic Four is a family movie. I play a scientist who has a problem expressing her emotions, and her DNA was altered, so when she does express her emotions she goes invisible," Alba said in a news conference to promote her next film, Sin City. "So when she's screaming, she goes invisible. When she's having a meltdown, she goes invisible."
The film is based on the Marvel Comics series of the same name, and Alba's character is one of four astronauts who become superheroes after their space mission encounters mysterious waves that alter their bodies. Alba said of her character, "she's completely frustrated. And the man that she's in love with ignores her, then she goes invisible. So it's very frustrating. ... [The film is] very big, and it's a huge, huge movie for Fox, and there's a lot of pressure that it does well."
In Sin City, Alba (TV's Dark Angel) plays an exotic dancer who finds herself targeted by a deranged criminal. Sin City opens April 1.
