With D23 Expo happening this weekend in Anaheim, Calif., fans are waiting to see what big announcements come from the studio behind Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And an exciting rumor has popped up, courtesy of The John Campea Show. On her popular YouTube series, Campea shared a rumor that Jodie Comer would play Sue Storm in the The Fantastic Four to restart. Campea talks about it in the video below (from 56:40):
Comer is famous for his role as stylish assassin Villanelle in AMC and BBC America’s Kill Eve. She also starred in free guy and The last dueland made an appearance as Rey’s mother in Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker. Comer is a phenomenal actor, winning two British Academy Television Awards and an Emmy for Kill Eve. She’s a great fit for Sue Storm/the Invisible Woman, who was previously played by Jessica Alba and Kate Mara. In addition to Comer, it is rumored that Penn Badgley (You, Gossip Girl) is in talks to play Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic. No other casting news has been leaked, and those rumors will likely be confirmed or denied at this weekend’s show.
The Fantastic Four will be directed by Matt Shakman (Wanda Vision). Marvel plans to release the film in November 2024, as the first chapter of Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. What do you think of the Comer rumor? Who would you like to see play Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm? Let us know in the comments.
