Marvel finds actor for Galactus from “Fantastic Four”

Galactus is coming to devour the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Accordingly The Hollywood ReporterRalph Ineson has been cast in the role of the famous Marvel villain and will appear in the upcoming film The fantastic Four Film by director Matt Shakman.

The English actor played Dagmer Cleftjaw game of Thrones (and Chris Finch from the British old school version of The office) and is a busy character actor in Hollywood. You may have seen him recently The creator and this spring The first omen. He will soon be seen in Robert Eggers' remake of the horror classic Nosferatu. (He previously appeared in Eggers' The witch.)

I think he's an actor with an absolutely commanding and menacing voice – super deep and super scary – that should serve him very well as this character. He just sounds like a guy who wants to eat your planet.

Galactus has always returned; He is one of the most famous and powerful villains in Marvel Comics history. Ineson is already a far better cast on Galactus than he was on Fox Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surferwhen the character was played by a large space cloud.
