I don’t know how reliable this is, but it seems legit and with his popularity I do think it’s possible.

What’s everyone’s thought on this as a rumor and as a potential actual casting?

On second thought, I don’t like him as The Thing just because being Jewish is pretty important to Ben’s character.

Who else could he be…? Doom? We know he’s not against wearing a mask for 98% of a role already.

Maybe not Wyatt Wingfoot. His heritage isn’t as important to the character as The Thing’s, but let’s keep the native guy native.

He could be someone like Wizard or Kl’rt, the original Super Skrull…. or Annhilus maybe?

Heck, he could be Herbie or Willy Lumpkin.

I dunno, there’s so many characters he could be that would be sweet, but I don’t want to see him as Reed. Someone younger please. I know Reed’s supposed to be one of the more mature heroes, but they could age someone up at first then just stop doing it in ten years for Reed.

I do think Moleman would be awesome for him though.
