‘Fantastic Four’: Ralph Ineson To Play Planet-Eating Villain Galactus In Marvel’s Reboot

We have our Galactus! Marvel Studios has reportedly landed on veteran character actor Ralph Ineson to play the iconic planet-eating bad guy in their upcoming “Fantastic Four” reboot that is gearing up to start filming this summer at Pinewood Studios UK in England. Making this the actor’s second MCU role after appearing in James Gunn’s “Guardians of The Galaxy” as a Ravager pilot.

This casting update comes to us from The Hollywood Reporter, as they’ve also added John Malkovich in another undisclosed part. You might remember that Malkovich was once in the mix to play The Vulture in Sam Raimi’s never-made “Spider-Man 4.”

The two new additions to the “Fantastic Four” cast will join Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Julia Garner, and Paul Walter Hauser. Matt Shakman directs after tackling the Disney+ series, “WandaVision,” which also played with period production design.

Ineson is likely known for roles in genre projects like “Game of Thrones,” “The Witch,” “The Creator,” “The Green Knight,” and will be part of Robert Eggers’ remake of “Nosferatu.”

While the reboot is expected to take place in the 1960s, some retro-futuristic skyline in promo artwork might have telegraphed that the movie is set in another universe, outside of Earth-616. “Fantastic Four” has a release date of July 25, 2025, and with casting in full swing, we’ll likely keep hearing new names being added over the coming days/weeks. So, stay tuned for those updates.

Taylor Kitsch Takes Lead Role In Robert De Niro Crime Thriller ‘Wash Me In The River’ – Replaces Machine Gun Kelly

Deadline reports that rapper turned actor Machine Gun Kelly (Project Power) has dropped out of the crime thriller Wash Me In The River due to a scheduling conflict. Kelly was expected to co-star with acting legends Robert De Niro and John Malkovich in the project from director Randall Emmett.

Instead, Taylor Kistch will be taking over the lead role.

Kitsch will play a recovering addict who goes Man On Fire toward every drug dealer he thinks might have played a role in his fiance’s death. Two cops are hot on his trail. 

Taylor has had a bit of a rough career jumping into films from television with projects such as X-Men Origins: Wolverine which was success but a critical minefield leading to his historical box office bomb John Carter and Peter Berg’s less disastrous Battleship both released back in 2012.

He’s attempted to bounce back with stuff like working with the late Chadwick Boseman on the thriller 21 Bridges, the firefighter drama Only The Brave, reuniting with Peter Berg for Lone Survivor, and taking a supporting lead role in the second season of HBO’s True Detective.

Kitsch was recently attached to star in Neill Blomkamp’s upcoming horror film but remains to be seen if that project has resumed filming in New Mexico.

Filming on Wash Me In The River begins next month in Georgia and Puerto Rico.

A late August release date was originally planned but the new trailer fails to mention if they’re sticking to that or being delayed.
