The Fantastic Four: First Steps Set Photo Shows First Look at MCU’s The Thing

As a long-time Marvel fan who has seen more than a few superhero movies (and let’s be honest, I’ve lost count), I can’t help but get excited when new set photos surface for upcoming films! The latest sneak peek at The Thing from The Fantastic Four: First Steps has me buzzing with anticipation.

Although details about the upcoming movie remain scant, recently surfaced images from “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” production offer fans a glimpse into the character of The Thing, now available online.

Through the lens of countless enthusiastic fans’ social media posts, I’ve chanced upon intriguing behind-the-scenes footage of the upcoming film. In this exclusive glimpse, a team of dedicated crew members are meticulously donning an actor within a colossal The Thing costume, fully equipped with a lifelike and authentic headpiece for the character.

As a devoted fan, I’m curious about how The Thing will manifest in “Fantastic Four: The First Steps.” From what I gather, it seems uncertain whether his appearance will be entirely practical or if the suit is merely serving as a placeholder during filming. Interestingly, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, our Ben Grimm/The Thing, hinted that the performance would be heavily reliant on “performance capture” rather than using an actual physical suit for the role.

Check out the photo and video below:
