The MCU adaptation of Marvel's first family was recently announced, with the The Bear star taking on the role of Ben Grimm – AKA The Thing.

Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Moss-Bachrach said: "There is a group text. Pedro started a group text a couple days ago."
He said that the morale in the group chat is high – though added that he wasn't sure who's saying what.
"I have his number, so it says Pedro Pascal, and then there’s two +44 [the UK country code] numbers. I don’t know which one’s Vanessa and which one is Joseph," he joked.
"But everybody said something! Everyone’s put a little image or a sticker or a gif or something out there, so people are invested, I guess? No one’s being coy! Everyone showed up. It’s nice, it’s nice."

Moss-Bachrach added that his performance as the rocky-skinned Thing will be "mostly performance-capture", rather than a suit like Michael Chiklis wore the 2005 and 2007 adaptations.
"I don’t think it’s the suit," he said. "I think in the past they’ve done a suit — Michael Chiklis wore a suit. Apparently, the suit was really uncomfortable — we’re past that, I think.
"It’s a little kinda cosplay. It’s a little amateur, that stuff now, with the technology we have."
The Fantastic Four will be released on July 25, 2025.
