Marvel Studios director Kevin Feige has just announced the main villain of the upcoming Fantastic 4 movie, directed by Jon Watts.
Through a video conference held by “Pafmer interviews” Feige revealed that the main antagonist would be the Marvel comics villain Graviton aka Franklin Hall.
But that’s not all. Kevin also revealed that the 47yo actor Joaquin Phoenix will be playing the supervillain.
The gravity controlling villain has appeared in other media like the animated tv series Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, voiced by Fred Tatasciore. He also appeared in the hit tv series/soap opera Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. played by Adrian Pasdar. This incarnation of the character met his dead in the season 5 finale at the hands of Quake (Chloe Bennet).
Even tho these news may sadden some Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D fans, it’s a great opportunity for the character to get the recognition someone of his level deserves, at the hands of an actor like Joaquin Phoenix
