Galactus will be the main antagonist of The Fantastic Four, but fans shouldn’t be holding out for any casting announcement just yet.

Previously, it was believed that Javier Bardem was Marvel Studios’ top choice for the role of Galactus, but whether he has been officially approached, or turned it down, or is still waiting in the wings to be asked is something that is now unclear.
However, with filming on the movie imminent, the idea that no one seems to be in the frame for one of the biggest roles in the movie is potentially worrying. It looks like Marvel Studios has a race against time for someone to take on the part before filming kicks off later this year.
