Following the recent leak of The Thing from the set of Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps, another image has now been shared by X user @UnBoxPHD, showing a stunt double for The Thing getting ready with the costume. See the image below.
Everyone thought that Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who is playing The Thing, was inside the costume. However, it has now been confirmed that it is a stunt double. Marvel is utilizing a comic-accurate version of The Thing, and the suit employs practical effects.
Also, video footage of the entire costume being worn was leaked by the fan account @F4Update.
