Vanessa Kirby has responded to the rumors surrounding her potential casting as Sue Storm in the MCU's reboot of The Fantastic Four. Although there has been no official announcement from Marvel regarding the casting, Kirby acknowledged being aware of the speculation. While she did not provide any definite confirmation of discussions with Marvel, Kirby expressed that it would be an honor for her to portray Sue Storm. In contrast to this, Mila Kunis firmly denied her involvement in the role after being photographed with Matt Shakman in Los Angeles.

Kirby's potential as Sue Storm in the MCU is being questioned, especially with other contenders like Margot Robbie, Emily Blunt, and Jodie Comer in the mix. Although Mila Kunis is no longer in consideration, Kirby could still be a strong choice, particularly if Marvel wants to avoid casting a newcomer. Her previous roles in the Mission Impossible series and Hobbs & Shaw showcase her franchise experience, and her range as an actress makes her a suitable match for Adam Driver in The Fantastic Four.
