New Casting Hints at Mole Man’s Appearance in ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’

As a seasoned gamer and avid Marvel fan with over two decades of immersion into the vibrant world of comics, I can’t help but feel a surge of anticipation upon hearing about the rumored appearance of Mole Man in the upcoming Fantastic Four: First Steps.


“The upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe movie ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’ is highly awaited and is scheduled to hit theaters on July 25, 2025. Reports from the filming location hint at a promising start.

In the new film, we’ll explore an alternate universe where the Fantastic Four are already established as a renowned superhero team. Additionally, it’s anticipated that some of their iconic adversaries will make an appearance.

The ensemble of First Steps features Pedro Pascal portraying Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby playing Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn acting as Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach taking on the character of Ben Grimm. Notably, Moss-Bachrach’s role as Ben Grimm will be realized through computer-generated imagery (CGI).

Julia Garner takes on the role of Shalla-Bal, who’s known as the Silver Surfer in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, while Ralph Ineson steps into the character of Galactus, one of Marvel’s formidable antagonists. Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, and Natasha Lyonne are part of undisclosed roles, and there are expectations for Mole Man to make an appearance as well.

Today’s major buzz revolves around speculations of a possible Mole Man sighting. It appears that Tony McCarthy, a frequent actor within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, may be portraying a Moloid character in the film “First Steps“.

IMDb isn’t always completely accurate, but this detail is too specific to ignore.

As a comic book gamer, I’d say: In the Marvel universe, I come across these peculiar creatures known as Moloids. They dwell beneath our feet in a hidden realm called Subterranea. These guys are usually on the payroll of the villain Mole Man, and they’re all about helping him conquer the world above ground. They’re his faithful allies, you could say.

If Moloids are featured in the film, it could indicate that the speculation about Mole Man’s presence may indeed be valid. As for who will portray Mole Man, Paul Walter Hauser is an intriguing candidate.

There have also been rumors that John Malkovich is playing Ivan Kragoff, aka the Red Ghost.
