Ben Grimm / The ThingCharacter guide · Ebon Moss-Bachrach

Ebon Moss-Bachrach plays Ben Grimm in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. D23’s official introduction identifies Ben as a pilot and an old friend of Reed, changed by their space journey into the rock-skinned Thing. His background keeps a person and a friendship in view alongside the imposing silhouette.

Notice how Ben participates in a conversation when there is no immediate threat to fight. The small routines and exchanges around the family offer a perspective on him that complements the physical action.

Begin with The Fantastic Four: First Steps for this version of the family. Disney’s official film discussion places them in their own world, so the earlier Fantastic Four adaptations are separate viewing choices. Future Avengers entries remain catalog records below, without assumed plot details.
