Jessica Alba Open To Reprising Her Fantastic Four Role For Marvel

Not long after her Fantastic Four co-star Chris Evans returned as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch in a surprise cameo in the new Deadpool & Wolverine, Jessica Alba, 43, said she would be open to reprising her role as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman.

“I loved Playing That Character”

“Yeah, of course. I loved playing that character,” said Alba, who recently assisted Instagram in launching its new Teen Accounts feature—exclusively sharing with PEOPLE her thoughts on her role in 2005’s Fantastic Four and 2007’s Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

“[I’d be open to] anything in the Marvel universe. I’m a fan of all the superhero stories, and it was a great time in my life. So yeah, if they would have me, sure,” she added.

Alba starred alongside Evans, 43, as siblings in their two Fantastic Four films, featuring Ioan Gruffudd as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Michael Chiklis as Ben Grimm/The Thing, and Julian McMahon as Victor von Doom/Doctor Doom.

Years later, in 2015, a reboot of Fantastic Four was released, with Kate Mara stepping into Alba’s role, alongside Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Bell, and Toby Kebbell.

New Chapter for Fantastic Four

Now that the Fantastic Four characters are part of the MCU following Disney’s acquisition of Fox Studios, Marvel plans to introduce a new version of the superhero team in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, set to be released in theaters in 2025.

Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach will assume the main roles, while Robert Downey Jr., known for his portrayal of Tony Stark/Iron Man in the MCU, will return to play Doctor Doom. He is set to be the main antagonist in Avengers: Doomsday (2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (2027).

In Deadpool & Wolverine, Evans reprises his role as The Human Torch from the mid-2000s superhero films, featuring a hilarious post-credits scene as well.

“It was a couple years ago and I got a text from Ryan [Reynolds], we’re buddies. He just said, ‘Listen, if you don’t like this idea, no worries whatsoever. But I have something that could really bring the house down and would let you play a character from your past.’ ” Evans told People.
