Marvel Studios Secretly Hides 3 Key Fantastic Four Stars from Trailers—Who Are They?

by

Fans might need to watch “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” before they get a chance to see three of the movie’s main actors on screen.

In the recently released trailer for the upcoming July MCU film, the Silver Surfer makes his debut alongside hints of Sue Storm’s pregnancy and possible appearance of Galactus. However, Marvel Studios continues to hold back details about the main cast and their roles in the Fantastic Four production, keeping fans guessing.

Who Is Marvel Studios Hiding From Fantastic Four Trailers?

Paul Walter Hauser

Actor Paul Walter Hauser, known for his roles in “Cobra Kai” and potential sequel to “Inside Out,” has been confirmed as a main character in “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.” As of now, the specific role he will play remains unknown. One popular theory is that he might be portraying Mole Man, an antagonist from the original comics who often clashed with The Fantastic Four.

Although Hauser is portrayed as a significant figure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film, he’s conspicuously missing from any promotional materials for “First Steps.” However, behind the scenes, Hauser has emerged as the movie’s most enthusiastic supporter. In an interview with TopMob, Hauser expressed his confidence that The Fantastic Four will be remembered as a classic, much like Guardians of the Galaxy and Black Panther.

I firmly think this will be remembered as a turning point, igniting a wave of triumphant storytelling for our company, much like ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ and ‘Black Panther’. Just as those two did, I believe we are on the verge of making a significant impact.

Natasha Lyonne

In the latest casting news for “The Fantastic Four: First Steps“, there’s a new star whose character remains unknown to fans – actress Natasha Lyonne, known from “Orange Is the New Black” and “Poker Face“.

It’s widely believed that Natasha might portray Alicia Masters, the love interest of Ben Grimm. However, a more far-fetched hypothesis also exists, linked to Marvel Studios’ “What If…?” series on Disney+.

In Season 3 of the animated series, Natasha Lyonne lent her voice to a fresh character named Byrdie. This character is the powerful offspring of Darcy Lewis and Howard the Duck, and bears a resemblance to Lyonne herself. Given that the finale of What If…? could affect the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there’s some speculation that this peculiar plotline might be adapted for live-action in the upcoming Fantastic Four.

Ralph Ineson

In the previews of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, we’ve caught a glimpse of Ralph Ineson portraying Galactus; however, viewers haven’t yet witnessed his character’s facial features, nor have they heard Mr. Ineson’s voice as Galactus in the trailers.

It seems that Marvel Studios might be keeping the true appearance of the villain, known as the Devourer of Worlds, under wraps until the movie premieres in theaters for maximum impact. However, whether or not actor Ralph Ineson’s voice will remain a secret until July is still uncertain.

Despite this, Marvel Studios intentionally avoided showing The Green Knight actor or depicting his famous villain’s image extensively in the movie’s promotional materials and in various other aspects as well.
