Actor Joseph Quinn from the Fantastic Four has revealed another antagonist joining Galactus, fueling anticipation for an exciting confrontation in the upcoming series.

Get ready to journey into the realm of the cosmic unknown once more, as Marvel's fabulous foursome return in July's The Fantastic Four: First Steps! While battling against the cosmic entity Galactus and his herald, Silver Surfer (portrayed by Julia Garner), seem like enough to fill their plates, there's an additional villain waiting in the wings - and I couldn't be more excited!

At CCXPMX 25 (via Culture Crave), Joseph Quinn, who plays Johnny Storm, gave fans a juicy tidbit during a Q&A session with his co-stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach - we can expect to see Mole Man in First Steps! While the actor portraying the subterranean menace has yet to be officially announced, rumors swirl around Paul Walter Hauser[1][2][5].

Mole Man, otherwise known as Harvey Elder, made his debut as the very first supervillain the Fantastic Four faced back in 1961, duking it out with them in The Fantastic Four #1. While Doctor Doom may have claimed the mantle of their arch-nemesis, Mole Man has remained a persistent thorn in their side over the decades[3]. His genius-level intellect, augmented senses, and command of an army of Moloids make him a formidable force to be reckoned with[3]. I can't wait to witness the chaos that Mole Man brings to the big screen as he squares off against the MCU's Fantastic Four!

Patience won't be needed for long, as The Fantastic Four: First Steps premieres on July 25, 2025, and the team will be back for more action in Avengers: Doomsday, hitting theaters on December 17, 2026[4].
