Michael Chiklis as Thing

Variety is reporting that Fox is planning to announce all four of its cast members for the Fantastic Four at the same time. The logic here being that their is no point doing an announcement before all four are picked.

Avi Arad from MARVEL has fueled the speculation that The Shield star Michael Chiklis is the most likely candidate to play craggy character the Thing.

At this point it is all still rumors and hearsay but it is good news to hear that the film is starting to move along. The estimated budget is $95-90million, slated for an August/September start.
