Mila Kunis may just be tapped to play The Thing in the new "Fantastic 4" movie -- that is ... if you buy a rumor that's running rampant on Twitter this morning.

A movie insider named @MyTimeToShineH -- who's credited with getting scoops before trade publications, and generally being in the know on superhero news -- sent the bird app into a frenzy Friday when they claimed Mila was in talks to portray a female version of Ben Grimm.
quote:


Now, in case it went over your head -- The Thing is a male character ... and has always been portrayed as such. Whether it was Chuck McCann in the '90s cartoon, Michael Chiklis from the 2000s flick, or Jamie Bell from the 2010s version -- The Thing's known as a guy.

Now, however, based on this report -- or gossip, more like -- it sounds like Marvel's possibly looking to switch things up with a little gender swap ... or at the very least, considering it.

Nothing says physically intimidating like 5'4, 120.

But yeah, there's no such thing as woke in Hollywood,

This has to be a satire story right.

Although…Thing does not usually wear a shirt…

Isn't she like 5'4"? How is it even possible that she portray the thing - unless they go 100% CGI.

Anything is possible with CGI. Josh Brolin isn’t big and he made a great Thanos. So we’d have a female Thing with her voice and general facial features.

It’s so dumb I can’t believe it’d happen which is why it probably will happen

Mila Kunis said she's not in it but she knows who is going to play The Thing.

Ashton Kutcher?

What are you talking about? Do you think there is any scenario where the Thing is not 100% CGI?

I don't think the Chiklis version was totally CGI.

The movies weren’t great but the casting was pretty good in 2005. Thing wasn’t impressive and Jessica Alba was just ok but Reed Richards and Torch were good.

As crappy as the 2015 movie was, Thing looked great. He finally looked like a big menacing rock monster. The effects for Human Torch’s fire was good too. I liked the sound of his flames.

She's already came out saying this isn't true.

They must have misunderstood me when I said I wanted to see her thing.
