Paul Walter Hauser Cast in Marvel’s ‘Fantastic Four’

Paul Walter Hauser has just landed a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He’s been cast in the reboot of ‘The Fantastic Four,’ directed by Matt Shakman. The plot details and Hauser’s specific character are still under wraps, but he’s joining an exciting lineup including Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm.

Who Could Paul Walter Hauser Be Playing?

With no official announcement on Paul Walter Hauser’s character in ‘The Fantastic Four,’ we can only speculate about his role, so let’s do it!

He might be voicing H.E.R.B.I.E. the robot. Known for his comedic talent, Hauser could provide a fresh and lively voice to this beloved robot sidekick, adding a touch of humor and charm to the high-tech companion of the Fantastic Four.

Another intriguing possibility is the role of Mole Man, the first villain faced by the Fantastic Four in the comics. This character would allow Hauser to showcase his ability to portray more complex and darker characters, potentially making Mole Man a memorable adversary.

Lastly, Hauser could be playing a role similar to Michael Peña’s Luis in ‘Ant-Man’—a humorous and vital supporting character. This type of role would utilize Hauser’s knack for comedy, bringing light-hearted relief and a down-to-earth perspective to the high-flying adventures of the Fantastic Four.

Besides stepping into the Marvel spotlight, Hauser has also been cast as Chris Farley in a biopic that New Line recently snagged. This project will be directed by Josh Gad, with big names like Lorne Michaels producing.

The actor is also gearing up for a big release with the ‘The Naked Gun’ reboot where he’ll play Ed, Frank Drebin’s partner. The film is set for release just a week before ‘Fantastic Four’ in July 2025.

In addition to these roles, Hauser has a packed schedule. He’ll be voicing a character in ‘Inside Out 2’ and stars in ‘The Instigators’ alongside Matt Damon. His recent performances have earned him Emmy, Critics Choice, and Golden Globe awards, showing just how versatile he is.

‘The Fantastic Four’ reboot looks to be set in the 1960s, offering a fresh take on the superhero team. With a release date set for July 25, 2025, it’s definitely something we’re all looking forward to seeing.
