Margot Robbie could be soon crossing over to Marvel. The actress, who is widely known for her portrayal of Harley Quinn in several Warner Bros. movies, has reportedly been approached to star in an upcoming MCU movie.
The report is coming from reliable Marvel Cinematic Universe news scooper Daniel Richtman. The report, which was first shared on Patreon, reveals that the Australian beauty is allegedly offered the role of Sue Storm a.k.a. Invisible Woman in a “Fantastic Four (2025)” reboot.
It should be noted though that the report doesn’t mention if Robbie has been cast in the 2025 movie. Even if the rumor is true, there’s a chance that the two-time Oscar nominee could pass on the role.
The news arrives after Mila Kunis denied that she would be playing Sue Storm in the upcoming “Fantastic Four” reboot, which will exist within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The rumors arose after she was spotted going to a deli with Matt Shakman, who has been attached to direct the new movie.
Appearing in a Wednesday, April 26 episode of “The Late Late Show with James Corden”, Kunis addressed the rumors. “Apparently, if you go to lunch with somebody that is also in the industry, you then start working together, according to the internet,” she said, “the next day I was somehow in ‘Fantastic Four’.”
While she will not be starring in the movie, the “Bad Moms” star claimed that she does “know who is.” She, however, refused to share any more details, because “I don’t want to get in trouble with The Mouse [Disney executives], so none of you will find out.”
@MyTimeToShineH later claimed that Kunis is indeed in talks to star in the movie, but not as Sue Storm. She is, instead, reportedly being considered to play The Thing, who was portrayed by an actor in previous iterations. “They are looking at Jewish actors, both male AND female for The Thing in Fantastic Four. Mila Kunis is one of them,” the movie insider tweeted.
So far, no official cast member is announced for the new movie, but Adam Driver was recently reported to be in final talks to take the lead role of Reed Richards a.k.a. Mr. Fantastic.
