Paul Walter Hauser Addresses His Fantastic Four Casting
In a recent interview, Hauser addressed his casting in The Fantastic Four and teased the role that he will play in the MCU film.
While he didn't reveal the character, he hinted that it is "very distinct" and part of the "lexicon and mythology of The Fantastic Four stories."
"I know what that question is leading to, which is the answer as to which character I'm to play. So all I can say is that I, in some iteration, am in the movie The Fantastic Four until I get fired or recast," the Emmy winner said.
"So I can't say anything about the character I'm playing, but know that it is in the sort of lexicon and mythology of The Fantastic Four stories. And it's a very distinct character that I'm excited to play and I'm kind of mapping out what I'm doing with that right now."
Hauser also shared that he's always wanted to join a cinematic universe as he campaigned to play Penguin in The Batman which ended up going to Colin Farrell.
"But I've always wanted to be a part of a cinematic universe. I spent a lot of time trying to campaign to play the Penguin in the Matt Reeves film, and that of course went to Colin Farrell and he did a masterful job and it was totally different than what I was trying to do," he added.
"So I really appreciate Marvel giving me the time of day and entrusting a role to me in some capacity that I get to be a part of that family. I'm really excited to partake in."
Some fans have speculated that Hauser could play Mole Man. Based on his comments, it is a huge possibility since he suggested that his character is a familiar figure in the comics.
Nevertheless, having a talented actor like Hauser become part of the MCU film is always an exciting prospect. We should be hearing more details about his role soon.
The Fantastic Four is scheduled for release in theaters on July 25, 2025.
