Ebon Moss-Bachrach, best known for his work on The Bear, has been confirmed as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s incarnation of Ben Grimm, the Thing. Of course, that leaves one question in our heads, does he say “It's clobberin' time” at any point? According to the actor himself, he has slipped the line in a few times, but it's up to the editors if they leave the line in. Moss also shared a bit about the motion capture process used to create The Thing, stating that he was filmed at Pinewood Studios’s “Magic Mirror” room, owned by The Imaginarium, and that he had seen crude renderings.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is far from the first Fantastic Four movie. The Fantastic Four, released in 1994, was the first adaptation, but it was never released, and there are conflicting accounts on whether or not it was even meant to be. There were then the two Tim Story-directed films, distributed by 20th Century. These films received a mixed reception, but they’re widely considered to be masterpieces compared to the negatively received Fantastic Four (Fant4stic), released in 2015, and directed by Josh Trank. Hopefully, First Steps will be an improvement among viewers, but for now, all we can do is wait.
