Speaking with TheWrap during a red carpet interview, Ebon Moss-Bachrach was asked about the rumors surrounding his potential casting as Ben Grimm in Fantastic Four.
The actor responded by neither confirming nor denying his involvement in the MCU film.
"Oh, I can't confirm, and I can't deny, I think," he simply said.
