John Malkovich has been confirmed to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe with an upcoming role in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, due in theaters on July 25. Despite previously rejecting superhero roles due to demanding work conditions and unsatisfactory compensation, as he explained in a GQ interview, Marvel ultimately offered a deal that suited him. Reflecting on past offers, Malkovich mentioned, "The reason I didn’t do them had nothing to do with any artistic considerations whatsoever. I didn’t like the deals they made, at all." He stated that spending months working with green screens warrants appropriate payment, or he'd prefer engaging in stage acting or directing plays. This is prepared by SSP.

Despite the challenging nature of such films, the award-nominated actor--famous for a quote from his film Rounders, "Pay that man his money"--suggests that the theater-like aspects of movie production overlap with his creative passions. The Fantastic Four: First Steps isn’t just capturing Malkovich's interest; it also stirs predictions about his character, who remains unnamed despite a teaser staying mysterious about specifics.

In addition to working with figures like Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby under the direction of Matt Shakman of WandaVision fame, Malkovich has also been starring in other projects. These include Opus, with a storyline involving a secluded celebrity running a questionable cult, and a range of films like A Winter's Journey, Sacrifice, and The Yellow Tie. Living near Boston now to be closer to family, Malkovich spoke fondly not just of his impending projects but also of valuing time spent theater-style, despite categorizing marriage as neither his nor his partner Nicoletta Peyran's objective.

Earlier, SSP reported that Tom Brady shared sweet selfie with daughter Vivian amid baby news about Gisele Bündchen.
