Mission Impossible star Vanessa Kirby has responded to the growing rumors over her MCU involvement.
Mission Impossible 7 star Vanessa Kirby says it « would be an honor » to land the role of Sue Storm in Marvel’s Fantastic Four movie.
Speaking exclusively to TechRadar, Kirby suggested she’d be open to playing Storm, aka The Invisible Woman, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Kirby’s comments come as rumors swirl that she’s been approached by Marvel to play the iconic superhero in the forthcoming Marvel Phase 6 film.
At the UK junket for Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning – Part One, I asked Kirby if she believed her work in other leading franchises would help her acclimatize to potentially joining the MCU.
Kirby, who has starred in long-running shows and movies including Netflix’s The Crown, Universal’s Fast & Furious film series, and Mission Impossible, replied: « Yeah, for sure. I love returning characters so much. I enjoy falling in love with a character and getting to come back [to play them], whether it’s Prince Margaret [who Kirkby played in The Crown seasons 1 and 2] or someone else. Portraying her in the ’50s when she’s this young girl, and then the ’60s where she’s grown into a woman, it was so much fun to play her, especially later on.
« It’s the same for Alanna Mitsopolis in the Mission Impossible movies and thinking how the last few years between films have affected her.
