As a hardcore gamer and Marvel fan with over a decade of experience immersed in the comic book universe, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation whenever I hear about upcoming Marvel projects. The announcement of “The Fantastic Four” hitting the big screen once again brings back memories of my childhood, spent pouring over comic books and imagining what it would be like to see these iconic characters come to life on screen.
As a gamer, I’m always excited about the latest news in the Marvel cinematic universe. This summer, I can’t wait to see Deadpool and Wolverine on the big screen. But that’s just the beginning of the journey! The release date for The Fantastic Four is quickly approaching in 2025. I wonder if Marvel Studios will give us a sneak peek of the cast in costume during their Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic-Con this month? It’s going to be an exciting time for fans!
Star Paul Walter Hauser appears open to taking on this role, as he’s been accidentally getting ready for it since filming Spike Lee’s “BlacKkKlansman.” In an interview with Variety, Hauser discussed his preparations for the Marvel Cinematic Universe role in a familiar way. The following explanation fits well within that context:
For me, the pre-production stage involves preparing thoroughly before filming begins. This includes reading relevant comic books and going through the screenplay carefully. The main goal is to understand my role in the story and find ways to maximize my contribution without repeating what others have done. It’s essential to be aware of the film’s overall concept and each team member’s responsibilities to bring something fresh and distinctive to the project. In “BlacKkKlansmen,” for instance, I had to portray one of several racist characters in the movie. Each actor needed to develop their unique brand of bigotry to avoid redundancy within the ensemble cast. My aim is always to make my performance specific and engaging while avoiding unnecessary distractions.
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Paul Walter Hauser is a member of the Fantastic Four team. This means he’s familiar with the inner workings of this prominent Marvel family. It’s reassuring to know that an actor cast in an ensemble film, particularly one alongside renowned colleagues like Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Pedro Pascal, has put in the necessary preparation.
In the same vein as his portrayal of a racist character in Spike Lee’s 2019 Academy Award-winning screenplay, Hauser acknowledges the importance of subtlety, even if we’re unsure of whom he is depicting in this evolving landscape. Let’s revisit The Fantastic Four for a moment, as it seems Hauser himself had to delve deeper into understanding this topic.
Regarding the topic of working on the film adaptation of the book he’ll be involved in once more, Paul Walter Hauser shared this recent development:
Reading the “Fantastic Four” comics as an adult has been a real joy for me. I didn’t focus on this series when I was younger, as I was more into “Batman.” However, my experience with “Fantastic Four” has been incredibly enjoyable. I’m really enjoying it!
Mr. Hauser’s decision to share his expertise in the comic world and how his new Marvel project led him to discover a fresh series is impressively clever. However, I can’t help but ponder if DC Comics and Marvel could put their rivalry aside and collaborate, allowing Paul Walter Hauser the opportunity to join the Gotham City adventure that he yearns for? After watching the latest trailer for “The Penguin” series, I find myself wishing for such a partnership.
An unlikely scenario at present, it seems, with “The Fantastic Four” set for release on July 25, 2025, and “The Penguin” debuting on HBO starting September 19th – two distinct entertainment offerings. To prepare for the revival of this cinematically inactive supergroup, all you need is a Disney+ subscription to access the initial two installments from their earlier days before the merger.
