Ioan Gruffudd talks his cancelled ‘Fantastic Four’ movie

Ioan Gruffudd sat down for an interview with Vulture where he opened up about the cancellation of his 3rd Fantastic Four film.

He played the role of Reed Richards in 2005's Fantastic Four and then in 2007's Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

Now, the actor has revealed that they were planning on another one, but it never came to fruition, "The mindset was that we were going to do three, and I think the second movie was equally successful as the first and equally enjoyable for the fans. I particularly loved working with Doug Jones [who played the Silver Surfer] on that movie, who’s just a terrific artist and an expert in the field of movement. If you want to witness somebody bringing a character to life physically, he’s just untouchable."

"So there was definitely that sort of momentum, and the plan was to do three movies, but these decisions are beyond my control,” he explained.

The actor recently attended the premiere for Marvel’s Fantastic Four: First Steps film with his pregnant wife, Bianca Wallace.

The new iteration of the film stars Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm, a.k.a. The Thing.
