Even as speculation, it’s still the most exciting news you’ll hear all day. The latest rumor making the rounds is Margot Robbie‘s possible association with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Of course, until the official announcement, everything is up in the air. But various sources and industry insiders are reporting Margot Robbie could be Sue Storm in the ‘Fantastic Four’ reboot movie.
The Australian actress has been a force to be reckoned with since her star-making turn in Martin Scorsese’s ‘The Wolf Of The Wall Street.’ Since then, she has built quite a resumé with independent and mainstream films. She recently starred in the Hollywood epic ‘Babylon.’ Marvel and Disney are heading cautiously about any official announcement, denying all casting rumors to throw us off.

Margot Robbie Offered The Role Of Sue Storm In ‘Fantastic Four’ Reboot Movie
Margot Robbie has emerged as the leading contender to play Sue Storm/Invisible Woman. It’s still too soon to lose our marbles, but Marvel is actively pursuing the actress to join the MCU for its Phase 6 movie. Previously, Adam Driver was said to be the new frontrunner to play Reed Richards. And now, if everything goes well, Margot Robbie could play another costumed character.
Industry insider Daniel Richtman of The Direct said it was Marvel who knocked at Margot Robbie’s doorstep. They have offered her to play Sue Storm in the 2025 movie. Another fascinating scoop from Richtman includes the Oscar-nominee Paul Mescal being courted for the role of Johnny Storm/The Human Torch.

Actresses Previously Considered For The Role Of Sue Storm
As always, Marvel did their due diligence with the casting. Before bringing the role of Sue Storm to Robbie, Marvel went through a roster of versatile actresses under Kevin Feige’s supervision. It was said that Jodie Comer was previously considered for the part. She, however, denied meeting Feige on the podcast ‘Happy Sad Confused.’
Other actresses on the shortlist for the Marvel role were Vanessa Kirby, Mila Kunis, and Allison Williams. For now, Margot Robbie seems to have an edge over the others. She has already played Harley Quin in ‘Suicide Squad,’ its reboot ‘The Suicide Squad,’ and ‘Birds Of Prey.’ We hope she makes a move to another franchise role.
