Shooting for Fantastic Four: First Steps has officially begun, and various leaked photos have started to appear on the internet, including The Thing’s appearance.
After Marvel shared some information about the movie at the recent SDCC 2024 event, the production house immediately started production.
With production underway, a lot of leaked information is likely to surface on social media. The latest leak shows the costume of The Thing character that will be present in the upcoming Fantastic Four: First Steps.
The Thing Fantastic Four Appearance Leak
A leaked video from the set shows an actor wearing The Thing costume. However, it is unclear whether the actor is Ebon Moss-Bachrach, the stunt double, or the suit actor inside the costume.
The face is not visible, so the identity of the person behind the costume remains mysterious. There was also a crew that helped attach various props to the costume.
Based on the existing production process, it seems that Marvel Studios will follow the steps taken by Fox before. In this case, they plan to use The Thing’s full costume and do various scenes.
Once production is complete, there will be a stage of adding visual effects in the post-production phase. In this way, the character of The Thing is expected to appear more alive like other characters.
Differences with Previous Fantastic Four
Based on this information, you can see The Thing appearance in Fantastic Four: First Steps by watching the Fantastic Four movies released in the 2000s, where Ben Grimm’s appearance seems very realistic. This is due to the use of a combination of practical effects and CGI.
Meanwhile, in the 2015 version of Fantastic Four, to showcase The Thing, the movie relied entirely on CGI, which resulted in an unsatisfactory quality.
After a long wait, fans can finally prepare to see the latest version of the Fantastic Four movie in the MCU universe. The movie is set to be released in 2025 and features a number of well-known Hollywood stars, such as Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby.
