While it’s well known that Ebon Moss-Bachrach portrays The Thing in the new Marvel Studios film Fantastic Four: First Steps, he didn’t do it alone.
Independent pro wrestler and voice actor Richard Summers-Calvert took to Instagram this morning to reveal that he played an important role as The Thing in the latest Marvel movie blockbuster, posting:
“I can finally announce that after 5 auditions (the last being in front of the director, his accent coach and his movement coach) I managed to end up in this absolutely epic suit helping portray The Thing in Fantastic 4.
“For 7 months I sat in the tent next to the leads and got to pick their brains, I got to do performance passes alongside elite level actors, I aided the Mocap and VFX, I met immensely talented people and the coolest thing of all is that I got to be a part of a Make A Wish, which is something I will truly never forget.
“Insane experience, learnt tonnes and to embody The Thing and help bring him to life was an absolute honour…was real hot in there though… *sweating emoji* *hands raised emoji* #BigBoy #TheThing #fantastic4 #grateful #mocap,” Richard Summers-Calvert said in a post.
