Vanessa Kirby’s Sue Storm: The Ultimate Girl-Boss of the Fantastic Four!

by

It’s confirmed, as was clear from the start, that Vanessa Kirby’s character, Sue Storm, takes the lead role in the Fantastic Four movie.

The movie appears to be mirroring the aftermath of Kevin Feige’s post-“Endgame” catastrophe, during which the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has evolved into what’s now known as “M She U.” The actress from “Echo” herself has acknowledged that the M She U indeed exists.

The movie, Fantastic Four, seems to center heavily around Sue Storm, portrayed by Pedro Pascal as a rather clumsy Mr. Incredible-like character. Rumors suggest that the Female Silver Surfer’s storyline might not end positively. Additionally, characters like Joseph Quinn’s Human Torch and Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s Thing appear to have lost their masculinity, with the former showing a lack of personality and the latter exhibiting a cooking routine and high-pitched voice, while Sue Storm’s voice is noticeably deeper.

What is said about Sue Storm?

We’ve received confirmation from a movie producer named Grant Curtis, speaking to Collider, that Sue Storm leads the Fantastic Four.

Going through the comics reveals that Sue Storm, more than anyone else, seems to be in charge of the Fantastic Four. It’s clear that if Sue Storm weren’t around, the group would likely disintegrate.

It’s likely that, just like Feige’s associates who don’t read the comics and let the creators know, Curtis is also unaware of the comics’ content.

Reed Richards, also known as Mr. Fantastic, serves as the head of the Fantastic Four team. It’s under his guidance that they successfully thwarted the formidable threat of Galactus, compelling this cosmic entity to vacate Earth.

In contrast, because we’re dealing with Feige’s M She U, it seems that powerful and visually appealing male characters aren’t an option. Questioning this? Consider Benedict Cumberbatch’s absence from WandaVision or the rewrites for Doctor Strange 2. Observe shows like She-Hulk, Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, Secret Invasion, etc. How have they fared in terms of male character portrayal?

Sue Storm: leader of the entire world

As I chatted with Empire magazine not too long ago, esteemed television director Matt Shakman hinted at continued storylines and casually dropped a bombshell – Vanessa Kirby’s character, Sue Storm, has taken on a global leadership role! Quite intriguing, isn’t it?

He stated that she is the motivating, visionary figurehead who embodies the values of the Fantastic Four. In essence, she holds a position similar to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
