Prior to Moss-Bachrach’s casting, the Thing was played by Michael Bailey Smith/Carl Ciarfalio in 1994’s The Fantastic Four, Michael Chiklis in 2005’s Fantastic Four and 2007’s Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, and Jamie Bell in 2015’s Fantastic Four.

Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, and Natasha Lyonne have also been cast in undisclosed roles in the movie.
