With the memory of previous Galactus failures still fresh, fans are skeptical as to whether the MCU can successfully bring the iconic character to life this time around.
Marvel Studios' Galactus report makes no sense
Probably the most horrible thing that stuck out like a sore thumb from the previous Fantastic Four movies was Galactus. The 2007 film reduced the iconic Galactus, a cosmic titan capable of consuming entire planets, to just an underwhelming cloud. As a result, fans were deeply disappointed by this downgrading of this character from what it was previously known as grand, terrifying and majestic.
But hopes were rekindled when Ralph Ineson was cast as Galactus in the upcoming reboot. Early glimpses revealed at San Diego Comic-Con have raised both anticipation among fans but also some doubts. The question on everyone's lips is whether the MCU will once again stumble in its portrayal of this central character.
Looks like Galactus is finally getting a much needed makeover! Born from the minds of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Galactus is traditionally depicted as a towering cosmic giant far beyond human imagination. After his less-than-stellar debut in 2007's Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, fans have been eagerly awaiting a more comically accurate portrayal.
