"Major marvel win": Fans thrilled with Galactus casting rumors ahead of new Fantastic Four

Days ago, Marvel revealed the major cast members for the upcoming reboot of Fantastic Four, which will now officially be a part of the MCU. The film will also reportedly feature Marvel comics' famed supervillain Galactus and the Silver Surfer. Recent casting rumors suggest that Marvel's top pick for this new supervillain, who may as well replace Kang in the MCU, is none other than Javier Bardem, the Oscar-winning Spanish actor.

If this goes through and Bardem takes up the role of the famed Galactus, it may be a major win for Marvel fans.

While nothing is confirmed yet, the possibility of a big name and the introduction of an iconic villain from the comics has already sparked a great sense of thrill across social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter).

Previously, rumors of Antonio Banderas taking over this character spread on the internet, but the craze brought by rumors of Javier Bardem seems to have outdone that.

Marvel has yet to confirm the primary villain for the Fantastic Four, but it is likely to be someone as good as Bardem, if not Bardem. The next big bad that Marvel introduces may be responsible for taking up Kang's place (unless Majors is recast) in the future of MCU.
