Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who plays The Thing in the upcoming Fantastic Four: First Steps film, revealed that they began production on the film and were workshopping because a script had not been completed.This Substack is reader-supported.
It sounds like this movie was poorly planned, poorly written, poorly cast and it will do poorly at the box office. I do like their rendition of The Thing, however. Almost an original comic look for him.
The workshopping sounds like they were using AI to write it. A hundred million dollars on the line and they’re figuring it out as they go? WTF

the look is fine, it's everything else. his voice is garbage. not at all reminiscent of the gruff Ben Grimm fans are familiar with.
I am not surprised. My favorite Ben Grimm iteration was from the 1960s cartoon, voiced by the great Paul Frees. He nailed it.
