Even if she did want to take up the role of Sue Storm, it is highly doubtful if she would be allowed to do so without giving up the role of Harley Quinn that she plays in the DCEU.

Matt Shakman, the director of Fantastic Four opened up about so many casting rumors

The director of the Fantastic Four reboot, Matt Shakman also opened up recently about the casting rumors surrounding so many stars. Shakman revealed that it’s great that so many A-listers want to be a part of the reboot project but he had no answers about the early casting of the characters. He said,
“There are a lot out there, man. They really are. It’s pretty crazy. As I learned from WandaVision, too, it is so lovely to see the level of engagement that fans have with this material, because I’m a fan too, and I have been reading Fantastic Four since I was a kid. I love these characters. I love the chance that we have to bring them to the MCU and I really want to get it right and I know that everybody out there is really excited and feels passionate in the same way wanting to get it right. And so I encourage it. I think it’s great. But yeah, I have no early answers for anyone today about casting.”
