He’s to me, you know, his body may stretch, but this is a brain character. And it was really his mind that was the most important to me… I thought of the brilliance of an octopus. I just sort of kept it not in a physical translative way, but kind of like put it into my subconscious.
The Fantastic Four: First Stepsalso stars Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing, and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch. It is supposed to be the first film in the MCU’s Phase Six, which will mark the beginning of the end of the Multiverse Saga, paving the way forAvengers: DoomsdayandAvengers: Secret Wars.
