Fantastic Four Frontrunner Reacts Positively To MCU Casting Rumors
With the MCU's Fantastic Four casting rumors hotting up, reported frontrunner Vanessa Kirby has offered her first public reaction to the possibility of her playing Sue Storm AKA The Invisible Woman. Previous chatter suggests that Barbie star Margot Robbie is up for the lead role, but Mission Impossible star Kirby has emerged as a strong contender. That's despite the conspicuous silence from within Marvel on official Fantastic Four casting news to date.
Vanessa Kirby was asked about playing Sue Storm in the MCU's The Fantastic Four reboot, and told Comicbook.com that she was aware of the rumors. While offering no concrete confirmation of being in talks with Marvel, Kirby said playing Sue Storm "would be an honor". Her positive but vague reaction is in stark contrast to the shutdown Mila Kunis offered after she was linked to the same role after being photographed with Matt Shakman in Los Angeles.
