It’s been nearly four years since the Fantastic Four reboot was officially announced by Marvel Studios. With fans assuming production on the project would begin soon, casting rumors have entered a fever pitch. One recent wave of speculation led many to believe Vanessa Kirby would be playing the MCU’s Sue Storm.
