Seth Rogen’s MCU Fear Makes The Best Fantastic Four Casting Impossible

Seth Rogen’s comments regarding rumors of his casting in Marvel Studios’ Fantastic Four mean that he likely won’t be portraying the MCU’s Ben Grimm, a.k.a. the Thing. After 20th Century Fox made two attempts at bringing Marvel’s First Family to the big screen, Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige finally teased the Fantastic Four’s introduction into the MCU at SDCC 2019. Since then, the rumor mill has been spinning concerning who will be cast in the iconic titular roles of Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm, and one popular theory put actor, writer, and comedian Seth Rogen in the role of the rock-skinned Thing.
