Shocking Details Exposed in Leaked Fantastic Four Set Photos

Aug 28, 2024 7:30 PM

Recent leaks from the set of Fantastic Four: First Steps provide exciting insights into The Thing’s design for the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film. A photo shared on social media showcases Ben Grimm, also known as The Thing, donning his iconic blue-and-white suit. The image highlights the character's signature bulky eyebrows, marking a shift from the less defined look seen in earlier adaptations from the 2000s and 2015. The film, scheduled for release on July 25, 2025, features Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing, alongside Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm. While it's uncertain if Moss-Bachrach will be operating the suit or appear without his powers at times, the new image hints at a blend of practical and CGI effects to bring The Thing to life.

What can fans expect from The Thing in Fantastic Four: First Steps?

Fans can expect a more comic-accurate portrayal of The Thing, featuring the character's classic design elements, combined with modern film technology for enhanced effects. This marks a significant evolution from previous interpretations, aiming to align more closely with comic book versions of Ben Grimm.

Fantastic Four: First Steps aims to reinvigorate the franchise and introduce a new generation of heroes within the MCU. This film could serve as a crucial pivot point for the Marvel universe, linking existing narratives with new stories and characters. The presence of a legendary villain like Galactus, hinted at in early footage, suggests high stakes and an epic storyline for this eagerly anticipated entry.
