During an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, That ’70s Show Mila Kunis knows new reports are addressed about his potential casting at Marvel Studios’ Fantastic Four movie. The Golden Globe nominee quickly denied his involvement in the highly anticipated MCU reboot and revealed that people misunderstood his lunch meeting with Fantastic Four director Matt Shakman.
However, Kunis confirmed that she knows who will be in the upcoming superhero film. “I’m not in the Fantastic Four, but I know who is,” he teased (via The Hollywood Reporter). “But, I don’t want to get into trouble with The Mouse [Disney executives]so none of you will know.”
Who Is Included in the MCU Fantastic Four?
Marvel Studios’ Fantastic Four will be directed by WandaVision’s Matt Shakman from a screenplay rewritten by Josh Friedman, based on a draft from Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer. It was first teased by Kevin Feige at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con.

Apart from Mila Kunis, Adam Driver is also one of the famous names rumored to be attached to the project. The driver was reportedly offered to be MCU official Reed Richards.
