The Fantastic Four: the director of the first steps Matt Shakman reveals how John Malkovich would have been used

The Fantastic Four: First Steps He had a lot of history and characters, both well and evil, with which to face. The film focused on Fantastic Four Family’s fame after going to space, earning their extra special powers they use to protect the inhabitants of the earth. In the film, the family grows by a member and a new villain is threatening them.

It was a bit a surprise when the group went to confront Galactus, and the only thing that was willing to accept as payment for not destroying and ingested the world was Franklin Richards, the child of Reed Richards and his Storm.

Of course, superheroes cannot have this and begin to make brainstorming of a plan to defeat the devourer of the worlds that keeps Baby Franklin safely.

Actor John Malkovich It was originally in the film as an additional bad guy, but his scenes were demolished at the last minute. A CBR writer was able to visit the set of the film last year and said that Malkovich was originally part of the scene in which Reed Richards is working with other cities to activate the “bridges” that they built to transport the earth to another position not detectable for Galactus.

Malkovich’s red ghost would have been the character to intervene in the first draft, but director Matt Shakman confirmed the reason why his character was removed.

When he was asked of the day of the film’s print if Red Ghost was originally eliminated the bridges in this fundamental scene, Shakman shared:

“There was, yes, we had a different idea of how those bridges could go wrong at the beginning. And then, when we were putting the film together, it only made sense that the surfer will return.

I think this looks like the slimmer way to go, but it is a shame that an actor like Great Malkovich was the one that obtained the boot.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps He is playing everywhere in cinemas now.
