There is a lot of guesswork surrounding Sue Storm’s potential role in Marvel’s Fantastic Four. Being the only female member of the Fantastic Four and the first Marvel superheroine from the Silver Age, Sue Storm is significant as the Invisible Woman.
Possessing both adaptable and potentially deadly abilities, she is the most potent member of the team. As a result, when Marvel Studios is assembling the cast for their upcoming Fantastic Four movie, casting Sue Storm will be quite difficult.
Regarding the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) Fantastic Four casting decisions, there have been a lot of rumors and conjecture going around.
Official announcements may happen soon now that the strikes have resolved and the uncertainty has subsided. One name that is regularly thrown around as a possible contender for the role of Sue Storm is Vanessa Kirby, who gained notoriety for her breakthrough performance in The Crown and her most recent roles opposite Tom Cruise in two Mission Impossible movies.
During Vanessa Kirby’s recent red carpet interview, the Variety interviewer asked her if she would be able to land the role of Sue Storm. The interviewer tried to phrase the question in a way that suggested it was already official—that she had landed the role.
Vanessa Kirby’s similar answer to what Rachel Brosnahan said about Lois Lane
Kirby responded in a manner that could be compared to Rachel Brosnahan when she was asked a similar question just before being cast as Lois Lane, likely after she already knew about it.
Vanessa Kirby’s response was, “I don’t know, you’ll have to ask them. I would be very honored to join.”
In a similar vein, Brosnahan, when asked the same question about Lois Lane, had said, “I mean, look, take everything you read on the internet with a grain of salt is my first piece of advice. Look, it would be extraordinary. I grew up watching Lois Lane, this incredibly talented journalist, far from a damsel in distress, and I would jump at the chance if it arose.”
Although Brosnahan’s response was more in-depth, the idea is the same. It seems like Kirby would not have said “I don’t know” if she had been cast in the role in response to a query regarding her casting. Nevertheless, it is similar to Brosnahan’s deflection.
Top 3 Sue Storm’s pick Marvel Cinematic Universe might opt
With so little known about the Fantastic Four in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s difficult to identify exactly what Marvel Studios is looking for in an actress to play Sue Storm.
For example, the MCU Sue Storm may need an actress who can play a mother figure given the current comic book portrayal of the Invisible Woman as a mother of two. Still, the part calls for a combination of comedic flair and action experience, which fits with the Fantastic Four comics’ overall lighthearted tone.
The actors’ prior roles, internet responses, and casting reports are just a few of the variables taken into account in Screen Rant’s rankings.
Margot Robbie
Margot Robbie’s career as an actor and producer has taken new heights amid Barbie’s unprecedented success. Robbie’s recent accomplishments seem to make her a strong candidate for the Sue Storm role in Marvel’s Fantastic Four, according to rumors circulating about her.
But a crucial question may be whether DC Studios will give top priority to getting Robbie to play Harley Quinn in the DC Universe once more. Robbie has previously expressed interest in taking on the role again, particularly if Poison Ivy—Harley’s girlfriend and accomplice—is involved.
Emily Blunt
Fans have long favored Emily Blunt to play Sue Storm; in fact, her husband John Krasinski’s casting as Reed Richards in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was announced before Blunt’s. Blunt has proven her action skills in roles such as the protective mother in the A Quiet Place series, which has sparked rumors that she might join Krasinski in Marvel’s Fantastic Four.
Nonetheless, Blunt stated that superhero movies are “not up my alley” in a 2021 interview with Howard Stern, expressing her distaste for them. I’m not fond of them. I don’t.” She is unlikely to consider playing Sue Storm in light of this stance.
Kristen Bell
According to Hollywood insiders, Kristen Bell, who has long been a fan favorite for the part of Sue Storm, has received a lot of attention. The Good Place star raised a lot of rumors when Mila Kunis, who claimed to be aware of Sue Storm’s cast but withheld details, alluded to Bell as a possible choice.
Though she is best known for her comedic roles, Bell has also dabbled in action-packed roles, as seen in her Heroes portrayal of Elle.
In addition, her romantic roles in the past, frequently as the girl next door who falls in love with an awkward nerd, fit in nicely with Sue Storm and Reed Richards’ relationship in the comics.
