Leaked set photo from First Steps shows first look at The Thing

During the filming of Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps continues, we can now get our very first look at the brand new design for The Thing. Leaked set photos and videos offer our first look at Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s interpretation of Ben Grimm in his rock form.

The leaks suggest that Marvel will take the practical route, similar to Michael Chiklis’ portrayal in Fox’ Fantastic Four And Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surferalthough at this point it’s unclear if Moss-Bachrach will appear on set in the suit. It’s also worth noting that this could simply be an on-set replacement that will be replaced with a digital version in post-production. However, as you can see for yourself here, Marvel certainly seems to be aiming for a very comic-accurate design that will surely delight fans…
