‘Fantastic Four’ Star Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s Thing Will Be Motion Capture, Not a Suit: That’s a ‘Little Cosplay and Amateur Now’

Ebon Moss-Bachrach took to “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to talk about his recent casting in Marvel’s upcoming “The Fantastic Four” film — revealing that his character Ben Grimm (aka the Thing) will be created using motion capture rather than a physical suit.

“In the past, I think they’ve done a suit. Michael Chiklis wore a suit that apparently was really uncomfortable, and it’s kind of… we’re past that,” Moss-Bachrach said. “It’s a little kind of cosplay, kind of amateur that kind of stuff now with the technology we have.”
