Since Trank was and still is a relatively new director in Hollywood (and that's supposedly one of the factors for why the movie was as bad as it was; he couldn't handle the pressure of doing a big Hollywood production for a major studio), I'd imagine he thought he'd work better with actors whom he had previous experience with. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he was also good friends with Miles Teller, the one who played Reed Richards.

Jordan had also recently starred in a heavily acclaimed movie called Fruitvale Station, so he had shown he had serious acting chops.

As far as Heimdall and Nick Fury i don't know much about heimdall so i didn't care Edris Elba portrayed him, HOWEVER i immediately noticed when the marvel films started to be released that Nick Fury was not the Nick Fury i expected.... i was looking for older white guy with a patch on his eye smoking a cheap cigar.

Well that's my point. "Comic buffs" aren't the main audience, which is why they could cast a well known actor like Will Smith as Deadshot and not have many people care. You said it yourself, you instantly noticed that Nick Fury was not accurate to the comics, but now to a whole generation of people Sam Jackson IS Nick Fury.

I generally don't think Hasbro does a good job on actor likenesses, but I'm still happy he comes with one.
