Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT 13 years ago, John Malkovich missed out on a Marvel role that the MCU can now redeem with his casting in The Fantastic Four. The long-awaited arrival of Marvel's First Family to the MCU will come in 2025 as The Fantastic Four finally hits theatres.

John Malkovich Almost Played Vulture In Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man 4 Close Spider-Man 4 starring Tobey Maguire reprising his role as Peter Parker was supposed to release in May 2011 before Sam Raimi pulled out of the project, and it was canceled in 2010. The movie's development at that point had gone far enough that John Malkovich was chosen to portray Adrian Toomes, AKA Vulture, while Anne Hathaway would portray Felicia Hardy, AKA Black Cat.

13 Years Later, John Malkovich Has Now Joined The MCU In The Fantastic Four It was announced last week that John Malkovich would be starring in an as-yet-undisclosed role in The Fantastic Four. The announcement came at the same time as Ralph Ineson's confirmation that he would be portraying Galactus, suggesting that perhaps Malkovich's role is a little more clandestine.

Michael Keaton's Adrian Toomes was recently seen in Sony's Spider-Man Universe, though it is still unclear whether this is the same universe that contains Maguire's Spider-Man.
