Fantastic Four Star Ioan Gruffudd on why a third film did not occur, cut Wolverine Scene and McU returns
Welsh actor Ioan Gruffudd played Reed Richards in 2005 Fantastic FourThen resumed the role in 2007 Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. His point of view on Mister Fantastic remains appreciated among the fans, although Gruffudd has not yet returned to the field of superproduction.
The Fantastic Four: First steps Arrived in theaters last weekend, bringing the original Fantastic Four Reject into the conversation. Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Michael Chiklis and Chris Evans do not appear in the film Marvel Studios, although there have been rumors on the latter appearing as nomadic (preparing the field for next December in next December Avengers: Doomsday).
Vulture recently spoke with Gruffudd in a room that deeply plunged into its role in the Fantastic Four movies. It is worth reading to find out how he approached playing the character, and the conversation finally turned to the infamous deleted scene with Mister Fantastic Transforming in Wolverine by Hugh Jackman.
“I don’t know why it did not succeed in the film”, “ The actor admitted. “Resting tribute to the great Hugh Jackman was quite a thrill because I absolutely love him as an actor and his Wolverine.”
“I’m glad it was likely to exist somewhere. It was a re-boy, and I was in Vancouver on a sound scene and Jessica was in New York, so we were not really together, but we are looking perfectly in synchronization.”
When asked why a third episode did not occur, Gruffudd confirmed that he and the rest of the distribution were on board and ready to shoot a Threequel. However, he remains in ignorance of the reason why 20th Century Fox has decided not to do Fantastic Four 3.
“The state of mind was that we were going to make three, and I think that the second film was just as successful as the first and just as pleasant for fans” “ He said. “I particularly loved working with Doug Jones [as the Silver Surfer] On this film, which is just a great artist and an expert in the field of movement. If you want to see someone who gives life to a character physically, he is just untouchable. “”
“So there was certainly this kind of momentum, and the plan was to make three films, but these decisions are out of my will.”
Despite largely negative criticisms, Fantastic Four made $ 333.5 million worldwide over a budget of less than $ 100 million, while Rise of the Silver Surfer ended up winning $ 301.9 million with a budget of $ 130 million. At the time, it was quite solid returns.
Later, call Evans’ return as the human torch Deadpool and Wolverine “A real pleasure,” Gruffudd described the camée of his old co-star as a “emblematic sequence” and added, “I laughed aloud and I am just ravaged by this, and it is a beautiful tribute to what Chris did as Johnny. Yes, he is loved as Captain America, but he is also loved as Johnny Storm.”
In this spirit, could we see him again in the blue spandex as a fantastic variant sir? “I am not in the new film. Fans are convinced that I will be in a particular aspect of this universe which has not yet been written or filmed.”
“But this idea of the people who arise were introduced, like Chris in Deadpool, or I think that Mister Fantastic appeared in the form of John Krasinski at some point”, ” he thought. “So, no, I was not approached to resume Fantastic Monsieur. But you never know.”
If Marvel Studios plans to include the Reeds interdimensional council in Avengers: Doomsday And Avengers: secret warsSo there is a good chance that we consider Gruffudd as a fantastic gentleman again. After all, someone has to put on the manufacturer’s helmet.
The Fantastic Four: First steps Now play in theaters.
