Vanessa Kirby wants to give life to its Storm’s dark side in the MCU

Vanessa Kirby He is ready to bring out the mischievous from the shadows. The Fantastic Four: First Steps Star recently opened on the Podcast Happy Sad confused on what hopes to explore after his Storm in the Marvel cinema universe.

At the top of his wishes list is Malice, his darkest alter of his own with comics and Kirby did not hold back his excitement when he spoke of it. He said:

“Definitely Malizia. I love it is a part of her. It makes me so happy because I try to understand … [the Fantastic Four] Everyone returns from this accident and everyone decided to do different things with their family powers. And Reed has heavily enters mathematics and scientific and technological progress.

“I think he feels guilty for what happened and is trying to improve the world in that way. And he creates this future foundation … literally, he goes around every national leader … and makes them disarm and to get rid of all their armies … I thought he should have such a high level of emotional intelligence to be able to make it. And he made a choice.

“At a certain point there was a line, he says to Mole Man:” If you are not careful, I can give you a aneurysm in a second. “It was a real comparison stone because it is true.

“And it is someone who chooses not to do it, but still could. And therefore I have always loved Malice because it is a kind of part of her who has to go out.”

Kirby noticed that while First steps It presents a strong and emotionally founded version of Sue, has deliberately included thin shades of malice in its performance. He didn’t want his falling into the “Goody, Sweet Mother” mold.

Instead, he underlined the internal force and the boiling edge that make him one of the most complex heroes of Marvel.

Malice appeared for the first time in 1985 Fantastic Four #280, when he became corrupted from the manipulations of Psycho Man. While it is not yet known if Psycho Man will present himself in the MCU, Kirby’s comments suggest that Marvel is planting seeds that could lead there.

In First stepsHis and Reed are forced to make an unthinkable choice when Galactus asks to sacrifice his childhood son, Franklin. That emotional toll, combined with an inclined multival war with Dr. Doom, could be the spark that increases malice.

With Kirby, Pedro Pascal, Joseph QuinnAND Ebon Moss-Bachrach set to resume their roles in Avengers: Doomsday AND Avengers: Secret WarsAnd a fantastic sequel to four already in the first development, Marvel clearly has long -term plans for the team. That type of story Runway gives them time to let Sue’s transformation gradually be built, allowing Malice to emerge, if this is the direction that Marvel wants to go with her.

If Marvel continues to explore identity and trauma issues as they have done in projects such as Luna Knight AND Thunderbolts*Malice could offer a convincing opportunity to immerse himself in depth in his psyche. And for Kirby, it is part of the appeal.

“He made a choice,” Kirby stressed. “It can go there. But it doesn’t do so. Until maybe … he does it.”

If Malice quickly heads on the screen or wait behind the scenes, it is clear that Kirby is ready.
