Jessica Alba spits some truth!

Vanessa Kirby Sue Storm Invisible Woman Jessica Alba The Fantastic Four First Steps Marvel MCU Reboot

Jessica Alba has some words for Vanessa Kirby! The Fantastic Four star gives some sage advice to Sue Storm’s new actress in the MCU.

With a new Fantastic Four reboot on the horizon, fans are excited to see how the cast does in adapting Marvel’s First Family to the MCU. However, it may be helpful to look backwards before looking forward. During a recent interview, former Sue Storm actress Jessica Alba gave her best advice to Vanessa Kirby in taking up the iconic role of the Invisible Woman.

“I think just have fun. The fans are so amazing,” Alba told Collider. “It was probably one of the best times of my life, going around the world and meeting all of the people that just love The Fantastic Four and love these comic books and can relate to these stories.”

“That, to me, and to be able to meet so many different people that you can touch and bring joy to them, I would say that’s first and foremost for anyone who gets the honor of playing one of these awesome characters. So I’d tell her to just have fun and soak in the moments.”

Given how panned Jessica Alba’s Fantastic Four films were critically, it’s good to hear that she had a good time during production. With how much scrutiny superhero actors are under these days, especially with the MCU’s current reputatin, it’s important that actors like Vanessa Kirby focus on the fun parts of crafting a reboot for some of Marvel’s most iconic characters.

Sue Storm’s Role In The Fantastic Four Reboot

Reports have suggested that Sue Storm will be taking the leading role in the MCU’s reboot The Fantastic Four: First Steps. This is further supported by drone footage from the Marvel project, with some of the first scenes filmed during production seemingly featuring Vanessa Kirby as the Invisible Woman with an iconic character from the original comics.

However, Vanessa Kirby may not be the only Sue Storm in the MCU. In a prior interview, Jessica Alba was asked if she’d ever be interested in returning to the role of the Invisible Woman all these years after starring in Fantastic Four. The actress admitted she’d be open to reprising her role in the Marvel multiverse, potentially leaving the door open for a cameo at the end of the multiverse saga!

The Fantastic Four: First Steps opens on July 25, 2025.  Stay tuned for all the latest news regarding the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more content!
