Marvel actors have constantly lied about appearing in particular MCU projects, and the likes of Andrew Garfield and Tatiana Maslany have set huge examples for that.MyTimeToShineHello@MyTimeToShineHUnlike their other Jewish character Matt Shakman INSISTED they actually cast someone Jewish to play The Thing twitter.com/MyTimeToShineH…MyTimeToShineHello@MyTimeToShineHThey are looking at Jewish actors, both male AND female for The Thing in Fantastic Four.

His lunch with Mila Kunis could have meant anything. But it could have also meant that Kunis is/was in contention to be a part of MCU’s Fantastic Four.Why Mila Kunis’ The Thing rumor could be trueThe Thing vs. She-Thing (Image via Marvel)Marvel is known for their unpredictable odd-ball castings, and Mila Kunis playing The Thing could be one of them. She is a talented actor who can pull off the part for sure. There are multiple pieces of evidence for why Marvel might be considering her for the gig. One of those is the fact that Marvel would want to do something different from the past iterations of Fox’s Fantastic Four.Furthermore, there is comic book precedence for She-Thing as a character called Sharon Ventura, who was married to Ben Grimm for a while, also turned into She-Thing after her powers and physical form were altered by being exposed to cosmic radiation. So, Mila Kunis could come in as Sharon Ventura.Ajak in Eternals (Image via Marvel)The MCU has gender-swapped many characters as Eternals had three of them, including Ajak, Sprite, and Makkari. Besides them, Mar-Vell in Captain Marvel was another example after The Ancient One from Doctor Strange and Ghost from Ant-Man and the Wasp.So, The Thing becoming a female would not be something new for the MCU. However, Marvel has never changed an iconic lead character and that would be a first. But again, that risks a lot of backlash from fans who want to see Marvel's first family be portrayed comic-accurately in the MCU.Bottomline, the rumor of Kunis’ contention for The Thing may be true. But nothing may be finalized yet. So, Ben Grimm could still be a major possibility.Fantastic Four hits theaters on February 14, 2025.
