“The Fantastic Four: First Steps” has become a hit, providing a much-needed boost for Marvel Studios amid concerns about the stagnation of the MCU, following the lackluster performances of “Captain America: Brave New World” and “Thunderbolts.” The film’s fresh approach, set in an alternate universe, combined with a standout cast featuring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, presents Marvel’s first family in an engaging new light.
Moss-Bachrach, who portrays Ben Grimm (The Thing), made headlines with a bold response when asked about his character’s powers, stating he would “throw a handful of fascists into outer space.” This remark drew significant attention and reactions from various audiences, with some believing he was specifically targeting the MAGA movement. The swift backlash included accusations of leftist violence and insinuations about being identified as fascists, highlighting the contentious political climate.
Interestingly, Moss-Bachrach’s Jewish background was noted in the responses, adding another layer to the debate surrounding the term “fascists.” The sentiment echoes the legacy of Jack Kirby, co-creator of The Thing, who was a staunch anti-fascist throughout his life. Kirby’s history of fighting against fascism, including combat service in World War II, positions Moss-Bachrach’s comments as an alignment with those values, suggesting that his assertion is truly reflective of the character’s spirit.
