[VIDEO] ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Set Footage Reveals Comic-Accurate Ben Grimm, Exciting Fans with One Key Detail

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of comic book-based video games under my belt, I can confidently say that the unveiling of ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’ set footage has sent shockwaves through the community. The Thing, a character notoriously difficult to bring to life convincingly, seems to have finally found his footing in this adaptation.


“One of the most eagerly awaited movies within the Marvel Cinematic Universe is ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps,’ set to hit theaters on July 25, 2025. At this very moment, production is underway at Pinewood Studios, located in London.”

In this upcoming film, we’ll delve into a different world scenario and bring together the Fantastic Four team, alongside some of their most renowned adversaries, as they enter the realm of cinema.

The principal actors for ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’ have been set in stone for quite some time now. Pedro Pascal will depict Mr. Fantastic, while Vanessa Kirby is cast as Sue Storm. Joseph Quinn assumes the role of Johnny Storm, more famously known as the Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach steps into the part of Ben Grimm, also known as the Thing.

There’s a lot of excitement surrounding the portrayal of The Thing, as it’s tricky to capture his distinctive look convincingly. Overdoing it with prosthetics and makeup might appear tacky, while over-relying on CGI could lead to high costs and technical issues.

Newly surfaced on-set clips suggest that Marvel’s The Fantastic Four character, Ben Grimm, will be portrayed with the aid of prosthetics and a suit in the upcoming film. These clips seem to depict an instance where either the actor or his stand-in was having their costume fine-tuned.

Recently, Bachrach jokingly stated that he had been learning about rocks for his role, and it appears there might be some truth behind his joke. The intricacy of the costume design suggests a great deal of work has been put into its creation. Although the character may undergo visual effects improvements during post-production, the current appearance is already remarkably faithful to the comic. Many fans concur: it closely resembles the original.

The thing looks awesome! I like the face sculpt and suit looks fire on him🔥

One of the most impressive aspects about him is his pragmatic nature, which fills me with optimism regarding this project. I can’t quite explain why, but it definitely does.
