FANTASTIC FOUR: Mysterious Actor Hidden From View In New FIRST STEPS Set Video - Possible SPOILERS

Though filming is expected to wrap this weekend or early next week, cameras are still rolling on The Fantastic Four: First Steps in Oviedo, Spain, and an intriguing new video from the set of the Marvel Studios reboot has now found its way online.

The clip is only a few seconds long, but the footage shows a crew member rushing a mysterious individual (most likely male) past the camera with a blanket over his head to conceal his identity.

There is a chance this is simply one of the main actors, but it seems highly unlikely since we've already seen them walking around on/near the set in-costume, and their involvement with the project is not exactly secret at this stage.

Possible spoilers ahead.

The prevailing theory seems to be that this is Robert Downey Jr., who is rumoured to make a brief (possibly post-credits scene) appearance as Doctor Doom in the movie to set up his lead role in Avengers: Doomsday

There are plenty of other possibilities, of course. 

Check out the video at the link below and let us know what you think.

The first trailer for The Fantastic Four has yet to be officially released, but there are a few leaked versions from various events such as SDCC and D23 doing the rounds online.

Joining Pedro Pascal (Game of Thrones, The Last of Us) as Reed Richards will be Vanessa Kirby (Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning) as Sue Storm, aka the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things, A Quiet Place Day One) as Johnny Storm, aka The Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Punisher, The Bear) as Ben Grimm, aka the Thing. 

Julia Garner will debut as the Shala-Bal version of the Silver Surfer, while Galactus has also been confirmed as the main villain. The Eater of Worlds will be played by Ralph Ineson (The Witch, Game of Thrones).

We're still not sure who Natasha Lyonne is playing (the voice of H.E.R.B.I.E. the robot of Ben Grimm's partner Alicia Masters are popular theories), but rumor has it that John Malkovich is playing one of the team's oldest villains, Ivan Kragoff, aka the Red Ghost. There's also speculation that Paul Walter Hauser has been cast as Mole Man, but this has yet to be confirmed.

Kevin Feige recently confirmed that the movie will take place in an alternate universe, but we know that Marvel's First Family will appear in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, so we wouldn't be surprised if they find their way into the main MCU timeline by the end of this movie.

Shooting is now underway, and some set photos have started to show up online.

Matt Shakman directs The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which is set to hit theaters on July 25, 2025.

@SonOfAGif - is Pablo Lyle..he will portray Jack Kirby cousin Kirby from Smash Bros.

@SonOfAGif - exactly. I speculate it was just Pedro Pascal or Joseph Quinn having a bit of fun.

And also, this makes me realize this is atleast their second movie together. They had an interesting chemistry in GladIIator.

It could be Downey which would be cool but I don’t think so.

Definitely seems like it’s a man and they don’t seem to be in costume so it’s likely an unannounced actor as of now given they were hiding their face…

Maybe someone like Ioan Gruffudd or Miles Teller for the Council of Reeds?.

@TheVisionary25 - a Council of Reeds could be interesting, but there's really only one Reed I wanna see: Miles Teller as The Maker

RedFury - 11/28/2024, 5:14 PM
@TheVisionary25 - since this film takes place in a different reality than everything else, it's not far fetched to think it could show a few different F4's. I'd love to see Ioan come back.

My wild guess is it's the Cavillrine! Only because whoever is under the blanket is wearing a white shirt and jeans 😆

It's Chris Evans but he has turned up to the wrong set.

They need him on the set of Captain America:Brave New World.

@marvel72 - uh...no need saar there is a Captain America now his name is Sam Floyd Wilson..and is THE captain america ...no need for evans ..maybe as a sideckick...he can be Lituenant Ruckersville Virginia or something.

I wouldn't mind Doom showing up in a similar way to how Thanos was used in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1, but I kinda hope the Doom in Doomsday hails from Earth-838. That could be interesting and atleast somewhat personal.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 11/28/2024, 5:19 PM
@bkmeijer1 - that could be cool

Maybe he was behind the Ultron bots?
RedFury
RedFury - 11/28/2024, 5:22 PM
@bkmeijer1 - it would be a good way to tie him into everything rather than him just popping up out of nowhere that's for sure. Since it doesn't seem like he's going to be connected to Pedros Reed, he might as well have ties to someone from 616 like Strange or Wanda. Even if he didn't directly interact with them.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 11/28/2024, 5:32 PM
@RedFury - I still think it would be best if he’s from the FF’s Earth but that’s because I want the Reed Doom classic rivalry

However I do hope he’s from an Earth we have seen and not just a rando one
RedFury
RedFury - 11/28/2024, 8:19 PM
@TheVisionary25 - I hope that as well. It just feels better to have him tied to the new F4 rather than not.
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 11/29/2024, 2:29 AM
@TheVisionary25 @RedFury - exactly. And through those Ultron/Doombots, then we'd already seen something of him.

Do also wanna see that Doom/Reed rivalry, but that's not necessary yet imo. Leave that to an MCU-native Doom.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 11/29/2024, 3:33 AM
@bkmeijer1 - I just hope we get a MCU native Doom after SW.
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 11/29/2024, 4:33 AM
@TheVisionary25 - same. I don't mind it if it's not Reed's Doom, but a more classic rivalry would be great to see.

Same kinda goes for Osborn and Ock. Do hope to see MCU-native versions of those after Secret Wars as well.
