FANTASTIC FOUR Rumor Points To Jodie Comer Being Announced To Play Sue Storm At D23

Has Marvel Studios found its Invisible Woman? According to a new rumor, Jodie Comer is looking likely to be announced to play Sue Storm in the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot at this weekend's D23 Expo.

This is not the first time the Killing Eve star's name has been mentioned in connection with the role, as she was part of a rumored "shortlist" that found its way online last week along with Lily James (Pam & Tommy), Amanda Seyfried (Les Misérables), Phillipa Soo (Hamilton), Saoirse Ronan (Little Women), and Vanessa Kirby (Mission: Impossible - Fallout). However, it sounds like Comer may have nabbed the gig.

On the latest episode of his YouTube show, John Campea claims that he's heard from three separate sources that Comer is the studio's pick to play Storm, and her casting is expected to be made official this Saturday.

Campea has been right in the past, but he's also been way off, so we'll just have to see if this one pans out.

Last week, radio broadcaster Emmet Kennedy Tweeted out the names of some other actors he has it on good authority have been enlisted to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for Phase 5 and beyond. Comer's name was also on that list, along with John Boyega, Henry Cavill, Daisy Edgar-Jones, John Krasinski, Giancarlo Esposito and Denzel Washington.

If Krasinski is returning to the MCU, we assume it'll be to reprise his Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness role as Reed Richards, but there's always a chance he's been enlisted to play a different character entirely.

Comer shot to fame playing the murderous Villanelle in Killing Eve, and has since appeared in the likes of The Last Duel and Free Guy.

WandaVision director Matt Shakman recently signed on to helm Fantastic Four, which is currently set to hit theaters in 2024.

Is Sue Reed's daughter in this universe?

I’m just not a fan of Krasinski so I hope this isn’t the case.

That’s a great casting if true.

Not too much longer before we get some official word

If she is, then that pretty much throws Krasinski as Reed out the window. Unless Marvel wants to put a 42 year old dude with a 28 year old woman...

@KWilly - well Olsen and Bettany have an even larger age gap with 18 years lol!

@KWilly - I like a 26 year old chick, her bf left her a couple years ago, to be in a Tarantino flick, and I’m 39 til October. Then I’ll be 38.

@KWilly - She is 29, so it's a 13-year difference, but did you ever read the Fantastic Four comics before Ultimate FF? There is a good age disparity between Reed and Sue of about 15 to 20 years. Pairing her up with Krasinski would be consistent with what Lee and Kirby envisioned.

@GeneralZod - OH trust me, I know they have a big age difference in the comics. We'll see if the MCU converts that aspect, or changes it up

@KWilly - I don't see what's wrong with a 42 years old man being married with a 28 years old woman. 🤷
