Fantastic Four and Avengers: Doomsday star Ebon Moss-Bachrach has talked about his experience making the crossover film – and has revealed he never saw an ending.
The actor plays the Thing in the MCU, and, in the trailers released so far, we've seen him touching down in Wakanda.
"Doomsday was different in that it's a bigger movie with more moving parts, and I think it was more compartmentalized, whereas Fantastic Four: First Steps, we were there like every every day, every day, having a sense of the thing," Moss-Bachrach reflected on the Happy Sad Confused podcast.
"These movies are so interstellar and so galactic and conceptual. So, it's very hard sometimes to understand what's going on in the story. And Doomsday was a little bit harder for me to hold all the parts. And, I mean, I knew where I was, I knew which planets, which universe I was in. But how it was connecting to other universes, I would have to go back to, like, 'Joe [Russo] can you just, I know you've talked me through, can you just tell me one more time?'"
When asked if he read a full script, he responded: "Yeah, I did read a full script, but those scripts change quite a bit. You know what? Probably not, it probably didn't have a full, like, third act. I don't think it had an ending. I don't think anyone gets to see that stuff."
He also shared his experience with Robert Downey Jr., who will play big bad Doctor Doom in the movie. Confirming that he got to see Downey Jr. in action with a "yeah, oh yeah," which he called "great," he expanded: "What a wonderful man. Like, what a great set leader he was. He's been doing this for a long time and he was so generous and really, like, checking in, making sure everyone was good. Really good coach energy there... I would look around the room and it'd be like, 'There's Ian McKellan, and there's Channing Tatum,' it's a lot."
Along with Moss-Bachrach and Downey Jr., the supersized cast list includes Chris Evans's Steve Rogers, Chris Hemsworth's Thor, Anthony Mackie's Captain America, Letitia Wright's Shuri, the rest of the Fantastic Four, the Fox-era X-Men, and more.
