Kevin Feige is doing his best to keep the lid on the casting decisions of the ‘Fantastic Four’ reboot. However, Vanessa Kirby might have given the Marvel fandom a reason to be excited. The British actress who reprises her dual role of Alanna Mitsopolis and White Widow in ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,’ said it would be an “honor” to get the MCU call. 

But this news is to be taken with a grain of salt. Marvel is yet to make any official announcements about the film’s casting. Every day, the internet is flooded with the news of more names being considered. Therefore, the best course of action is to wait until Kevin Feige gives a substantial update about the movie.
