At this point, it feels like pretty much every actor who hasn't already joined the MCU has been rumored for a role in the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot, but one name that seems to have popped up a little more frequently than others is Killing Eve breakout star Jodie Comer.
The Free Guy actress was rumored to be Marvel Studios' "top pick" to play Sue Storm, aka Invisible Woman, since just before last year's D23 Expo, when she was said to be part of a shortlist that also included Lily James (Pam & Tommy), Amanda Seyfried (Les Misérables), Phillipa Soo (Hamilton), Saoirse Ronan (Little Women), and Vanessa Kirby (Mission: Impossible - Fallout).
Marvel is currently in the process of casting the leads (as far as we know), so there's a chance at least some of those names are still in contention.
While being interviewed for the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Comer was asked about the Sue Storm reports, and while she initially denied any knowledge, she ended on a more ambiguous note!
“No, guys, I don’t know anything about it. I feel like when I say this people are like, ‘Okay…’ It’s like, you can’t win either way... I think, 'Never say never...' I think, as I said before, like usually when you finish one project, you then want to try something very different, so I don’t know, maybe.”
Comer might well have read for the part, but that may not mean very much given the size of the net the studio is said to have cast in an attempt to put this latest iteration of the team together.
