The Fantastic Four Actor Talks Fox"s Previous Flops & Disney"s New Focus: "Insane Amount Of Pressure"

Summary

• The pressure is on for The Fantastic Four reboot with high expectations and extra effort from Marvel Studios to deliver a special movie.
• Paul Walter Hauser is excited to be part of the film and is giving his all to play a small piece in the Marvel Cinematic Universe puzzle.
• The Fantastic Four will finally introduce Marvel's First Family to the larger MCU.

Paul Walter Hauser breaks his silence on the pressure that lies ahead for The Fantastic Four as the Marvel Cinematic Universe is working on the reboot.
In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant, Hauser, who has joined The Fantastic Four cast as a mystery character, broke down the big expectations for the reboot, as he shared the following about the Marvel Studios reboot:

I think it's the folks who are involved. The writers and the director, Matt Shakman, his department heads and the cast alone. I just looked at it and I went, I have a guttural instinct that this will be a special movie with or without me, and I want to be a part of this. And I think this is all before Bob Iger made his announcement of, hey, we're only doing two or three movies a year, two or three TV shows a year. I signed on to this before that announcement was made. So now the directive and connotation that I'm getting from that announcement is that they are putting extra effort and concerted care into what they put out into the world and how they service their audience.

So this Fantastic Four film has an insane amount of pressure on it between the films that underperformed from the same characters and then from the perspective of Iger and the family there, and Kevin Feige not wanting to overexpose their IP. And so I look at it like batter up. Whatever small piece of the puzzle I'm playing in that film, I'm going to give it my entire heart and soul, and try to enjoy the process, because it is very special to be a kid who grew up enjoying comic books, and animated shows and movies, and now getting to be some part of that. It's really special.
