Ralph Ineson, the British actor whose three-decade career ranges from the Harry Potter movies to recent horror prequel The First Omen, has landed the plum part of Galactus, the antagonist in Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four.

The high-profile, big-budget outing, the Fantastic Four’s first under the Marvel Cinematic Universe umbrella, has been casting up in recent weeks ahead of a planned mid-summer shoot in England.

On the call sheet are Perdro Pascal as scientist Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as her hot-heated brother Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Richards’ friend with body issues, Ben Grimm/The Thing. Also cast are Julia Garner as a female Silver Surfer and Paul Walter Hauser in an undisclosed role, which some have theorized could be Mole Man or the robot H.E.R.B.I.E. John Malkovich is also signed on.

Great actor who is FINALLY getting the big time breaks he deserves. I remember when he was in S2 of GoT very briefly and he has a really unique voice and good screen presence so when he never appeared again after that I thought it was a complete waste.

 

[Revolutionary]

Excellent casting. He's been awesome in everything I've seen him in.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

I hope they don't do him dirty like what happened to Christian Bale in Thor L&T. I don't think I can get excited for a Marvel movie until they prove they can write something compelling.

 

[DGrayson]

Must be a mistake he seems white.

Must be a mistake he seems white.

The entire cast so far is white isn't it?

 

[DGrayson]

The entire cast so far is white isn't it?

Honestly not sure. Who is confirmed so far?

 

[Trogdor1123]

Good casting but screw you marvel for messing up silver surfer. Will not watch.

 

[FeralEcho]

Must be a mistake he seems white.

I'm more surprised it's not a woman.

 

[Zathalus]

Honestly not sure. Who is confirmed so far?

I just checked those in the OP, White across the board.

 

[Pop]

I just checked those in the OP, White across the board.

But they done screwed up Silver surfer

 

[Sleepwalker]

Ralph Ineson is fucking awesome, pinch me Disney made a good casting.

As an aside from his acting work, he was great as a VA in FFXVI.

 

[Zathalus]

But they done screwed up Silver surfer

The version in the movie is supposed to be Shalla-Bal.

 

[K' Dash]

The entire cast so far is white isn't it?

Pedro Pascal is Chilean, so no.

 

[DKehoe]

Going to lose a quiz to Reed Richards and then throw a kettle over the moon to win “the real quiz.”

 

[notjeffgoldblum]

Must be a mistake he seems white.

Well he is the bad guy after all...

Pedro Pascal is Latin American, but I'm a bit confused about how Americans view races. In Europe Spanish people are considered white.

 

[DeafTourette]

Here in America, too, people from Spain are white. It's the people in the Spanish speakers in the Caribbean, Latin America and South America that aren't because of the native populations and the African chattel slavery that was brought to those regions. Although there were SOME Spaniards and other euros who also stayed behind.

 

[DeafTourette]

Well he is the bad guy after all...

Sue, Ben and Johnny are also white... So not sure what you're saying? I mean, Voldemort is white and most movies are majority white casts... So...

He was also Charles Vane in Assassin's Creed Black Flag

 

[Zathalus]

Pedro Pascal is Chilean, so no.

What? Chileans can be white. Latina can come in both black and white. I suppose some Americans won't consider him white, but at one point they thought the same of Italians.

Guys best work

 

[bitbydeath]

But they done screwed up Silver surfer

Should have got Sydney Sweeney as Silver Surfer.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Third times a charm at a reboot. Every decade there's a new FF movie trying to get the franchise off the ground.

 

[mitch1971]

Guys best work

This guy does voice over for so much in the UK.

 

[Krappadizzle]

 

[HoodWinked]

give us waifu Galactus you cowards

 

[Mr Hyde]

Very talented actor. His performance in the Witch is incredible. Inclined to see this movie just for him even though I hate Marvel and the last two Fantastic Four movies were crap.

 

[Lord Panda]

I'm more surprised it's not a woman.

Hope dare you assume them/they/it/zhir/zhim gender. Do better FFS.

 

[AJUMP23]

Is he british. Galactus should be a brit!

 

[F0rneus]

Is he british. Galactus should be a brit!

Of course

 

[Macattk15]

Should have got Sydney Sweeney as Silver Surfer.

I'd watch her norks surf around in a silver skin suit all day and all night.

 

[Tieno]

They should have gender swapped The Thing and cast it as a female. Missed opportunity.

 

[Sybrix]

Bloody good rep.
