The Fantastic Four: First Stepsstar Ralph Ineson opens up about his perspective on Galactus in theMarvel Cinematic Universe. Phase 6 will finally see one of the most iconic Marvel Comics foes jointhe MCU timeline, with Galactus making his debut inThe Fantastic Four: First Stepsthis summer. Fans have been waiting for years to get a comic book-accurate version of Galactus in live-action, andThe Fantastic Four: First Stepsfilm will be the film to accomplish just that after a long wait.
In the latest issue ofEmpire Magazine, Ineson spoke about bringing Galactus to the MCU throughThe Fantastic Four: First Steps. While explaining whether or not he sees Galactus as a villain, Ineson made a very interesting comparison between his MCU character and his character in the U.K.‘sThe Office, as he shared the following:
The concepts of bad and good are not really relevant to someone like him… He’s a cosmic force. He’s a god, of sorts… I don’t think Galactus is evil… but Finchy’s a proper c**t.
What Ralph Ineson’s Galactus Comments Mean For The Fantastic Four: First Steps
With a complex character like Galactus,it’s not a surprise that, from the character’s point of view, he wouldn’t see himself as an actual force of evil. One of the biggest concepts about villains - including someone likeThe Fantastic Four: First Steps’Galactus- is that, in most cases, they don’t see their actions as bad.
That mindset can be for many reasons, ranging from them being so delusional that they don’t understand the significance of their actions, or, as Ineson suggests is the case for Galactus, because they don’t have a perception of good or evil for whatever reason.
Whether or notThe Fantastic Four: First Stepsmovie will explore Galactus' own perspective on him consuming worlds one after another remains to be seen. Indeed, this may not need to be delved into, given the focus will instead be on Marvel’s First Family trying to prevent their home world from being destroyed. That said, given thatThe Fantastic Four: First Steps’leading heroes are set to return forAvengers: Doomsday,there is a strong chance that Galactus actually succeeds if they are now meant to be showing up on Earth-616 soon.
