Actor Michael Chiklis, who played the Thing in Fox’s first two Fantastic Four films, appears to see the deal as an opportunity to get into the MCU.
If and when Marvel decides to bring the Fantastic Four into the MCU, it’s unlikely that Chiklis will be cast as the Thing, due to the confusion it could cause.
Now that the Disney and Fox deal has been finalized, Fantastic Four actor Michael Chiklis has expressed an interest in reprising his role as the Thing, but this time as a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Fans can expect Marvel to cast actors who are completely new to the Fantastic Four property.
