It has now been confirmed who will portray the villain in The Fantastic Four, after the announcement of the film’s leading cast. Galactus will be the movie’s antagonist, as has already been revealed, though many fans have already anticipated this. Actor Ralph Ineson has reportedly received the official casting call for the role of Galactus in The Fantastic Four. According to reports, Ineson will portray Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s creation, Galactus, a superhero from Marvel comic books.

Before Ineson was cast, there were speculations that Antonio Banderas and Javier Bardem were being considered for the role of the upcoming Fantastic Four movie’s villain.

For his part as Amycus Carrow in the last three Harry Potter feature films, Ineson is well-known. His portrayal of Chris Finch in the first UK iteration of The Office brought him prominence earlier.

Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, also known as Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, also known as the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, also known as the Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm, also known as The Thing, make up the ensemble cast.
