the MCU’s The Thing
Recent set images and videos from the upcoming Fantastic Four movie have revealed a surprising appearance for the MCU’s The Thing. Portrayed by actor Ebon Moss-Bachrach, the character of Ben Grimm, also known as The Thing, is seen in what seems to be a preliminary stage of his on-screen transformation.
Evolving Technology in Character Depiction
Unlike Michael Chiklis’ portrayal in the 2005 Fantastic Four movie, which relied heavily on a practical suit, Moss-Bachrach’s version will utilize CGI and motion capture technology. This modern approach aims to provide a more dynamic and realistic depiction of the iconic character. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the actor shared insights: “I don’t think it’s the suit. Michael Chiklis wore a suit. Apparently, the suit was really uncomfortable. We’re past that I think. It’s a little cosplay and amateur now with the technology. It’s mostly performance capture.”
Fans’ Anticipation for The Finished Look
While the set reveals offer a glimpse of what’s to come, fans might have to wait a little longer to witness the full impact of The Thing’s CGI transformation. The images and videos hint at the potential for a groundbreaking portrayal, but the full visual effect will be realized only through the post-production process.
The anticipation continues to build as the Fantastic Four movie progresses in production. Fans are eager to see how Ebon Moss-Bachrach brings The Thing to life in a way that honors the character’s legacy while utilizing cutting-edge technology for an unforgettable cinematic experience.
