What did Natasha Lyonne say about The Fantastic Four movie?
During a recent interview, when asked about what it was like joining the MCU, Lyonne was understandably hesitant on answering questions about her secret character in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. However, the acclaimed actress confirmed that she has already wrapped up filming her scenes for the project.
“I’m old enough to know that the whole thing is a gift and gravy and rare and [I’m] taking it in stride,” Lyonne shared (via ET). “I’ve already finished Fantastic Four, and I’m in the middle of Poker Face.”
The Fantastic Four: First Steps is directed by Matt Shakman, who previously helmed all nine episodes of the WandaVision miniseries. His work on the Elizabeth Olsen-led Disney+ show earned him two Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Directing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. The MCU reboot stars Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/ Human Torch, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing.
