As filming on Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps continues, we now have our very first look at the brand new design for The Thing, with leaked set photos and video offering a first-look at Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s take on Ben Grimm in his rock form.
The leaks suggest that Marvel will be going down the practical route, similar to Michael Chiklis’ portrayal in Fox’s Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, although its unclear at this point whether it’s Moss-Bachrach performing on set in the suit. It’s also worth noting this could simply by an on-set stand-in which will be replaced by a digital version in post-production. Nevertheless, as you can see for yourself here, Marvel certainly looks to be going for a very comic accurate design, which will surely delight fans…
