While no official offer is out yet, Jamie, 27, is expected to take on Ben Grimm/The Thing. He is currently appearing in Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac.
The trade newspaper adds that Footloose star Miles, 27, has been offered the role of Reid Richards/Mr. Fantastic and is in negotiations to complete the deal.
He could be forced to drop out over scheduling issues as he has only recently wrapped production on John Belushi biopic Whiplash, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The villain of the piece has yet to be revealed.
Directed by Josh Trank, the movie will focus on the superheroes when they were younger.
It's a prequel to 2005 and 2007 films Fantastic Four and Fantastic 4: Rise Of The Silver Surfer.
Both starred Ioan Gruffudd as Mr. Fantastic, Jessica Alba as Invisible Girl, Chris Evans as the Human Torch and Michael Chiklis as The Thing.
The rebooted Fantastic Four is due to hit theaters June 19, 2015.
