David Krumholtz Eyes Marvel Role as Mole Man After Missing Out on 'The Fantastic Four'

Despite not securing the role of The Thing, Krumholtz remains determined to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, now targeting the villain Mole Man.

David Krumholtz, known for his role in 'Oppenheimer', campaigned for the role of Ben Grimm/The Thing in the upcoming Marvel film 'The Fantastic Four', but the role went to Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
Despite not landing the role of The Thing, Krumholtz remains enthusiastic about joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe and has now set his sights on playing the villain Mole Man.
Krumholtz's passion for Marvel started at a young age, growing up reading Marvel comics and even working at a comic book store before becoming an actor.
The actor's campaign to join 'The Fantastic Four' began with a social media post expressing his desire to be in the conversation for the role, which led to a meeting with the film's director, Matt Shakman.
Krumholtz believes he could be a 'shoe-in' for the role of Mole Man, a character known for his genius intellect and leadership of the Moloid race in the comics.
