We’ve been waiting to hear some official cast announcements for Marvel’s upcoming Fantastic Four film. Fans are understandably anxious to see what the MCU has to offer Marvel’s “first family.” Now a new report has surfaced that claims a surprising actor is in talks to play Galactus in the upcoming Fantastic Four MCU adaptation.
Galactus is one of Marvel’s biggest villains in the comics. As such, it only makes sense that Marvel would want a special actor to play the part. Now, according to insider @MyTimeToShineH, we know who that actor could be. And it’s a very interesting choice.
Now it’s worth noting that the following info should be taken with a grain of salt. And, if it were true, the actor is only in talks. So this could still change at any time. But according to the report, Antonio Banderas has entered talks to play Galactus in the Fantastic Four film.

This is no doubt a shocking report. Especially as we wait to hear what actors could be playing the actual Fantastic Four team. There have been several reports on that front as well – but nothing concrete has surfaced as of yet. It’s worth noting that Mila Kunis has come up as a possibility to play Sue Storm, but insider @MyTimeToShineH suggests that isn’t the case. Though she could still be part of the cast:
Mila Kunis is NOT in talks for Sue Strom. She’s in talks for a different role

Hopefully we’ll have more details soon. The cast for Fantastic Four should be announced sooner rather than later – and by then we’ll know if these reports are true. Including whether or not Antonio Banderas will play Galactus in the Fantastic Four flick.
Matt Shankman will direct Fantastic Four while Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer write the screenplay.
The new Fantastic Four iteration is currently scheduled to hit theaters on February 14, 2025. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for additional updates on the highly-anticipated MCU project as we have them.
