Now that’s an actor who has the voice for Galactus.

[@YippydaSnoop]

I can imagine the voice being off feminine sounding like Snow White or something

[@kkwonbi8071]

​@@YippydaSnoop why?

[@CaptPizza]

@@YippydaSnoop why exactly….?

[@RealDeadPoolHere]

@@YippydaSnoopI mean that’s odd you would imagine this man’s voice like that considering all of his previous works

[@KaladinVegapunk]

Haha I was like how does he list his roles and leave out the goddamn witch?? Then was glad he included it haha that's his best role, he does have a great voice

[@iRenz0]

John Malkovich will be playing John Malkovich

[@tairichardson4630]

More than likely 😂

[@davidchism6081]

Marvin Boggs.

[@deborahjanes3706]

Playing or 'being'? 😊

[@krpyton7368]

John makovich maybe playing as red ghost

[@p00lboy]

he will take over stan lees role of willy lumpkin the mailman

[@Marvelousgamer7697]

Perfect casting! His voice for Galactus is going to be LEGENDARY!

[@SleepyyScarr]

Factsss💯

[@anshulkumaria6650]

John Malkovich as a sassy and wise-ass robot butler / assistant ? Sign me up for that.

[@clintbrew]

If only Alan rickman was still alive he would have been perfect for H.E.R.B.I.E but I can hear John as the robot butler

[@babyjohnnyfrostrobertson5473]

I was thinking that!

[@gohabs8918]

Probably playing Galactus before his universe was destroyed when he was known as Galan. They look identical

[@austindaniels4827]

i don’t think he’s gonna be herbie

[@Agenda2029]

John Malkovich is C3PO?

[@oluwabunmiadedotun3807]

He’s voice is hard asf 🔥😬 can’t wait

[@marcusyates3044]

Ralph Ineson: "I hunger!"

[@dangerfly]

Hunger makes zero sense. Earth is a tiny speck of dust compared to the Sun's mass. He wouldn't even be able to see it. "I'll just eat this zero calorie pea instead of the giant ball of energy..." Comics are lame.

[@Spider-Man4266]

@@dangerflyThe reason that Galactus goes to Earth in the first place is because Earth is rich with cosmic energy and when Sliver Surfer found Earth he immediately altered Galactus to its location because he also knew that it was rich with cosmic energy.

[@simonhart2186]

UK-er here. It’s Ralph In-Er-Son. He voices soooooooo many adverts here.

[@tylerdhoore624]

i hardly know er son

[@iamanowl26]

FINCHYYYYYYY

[@plkrtn]

Galactus, brought to you by the Dacia Sandero

[@neilmeadowcroft7569]

I like his work on Salvage Hunters

[@BullScrapPracEff]

Lmao, it seems like people would understand from your use of 'adverts.'

[@alexanderdumas-]

He seems kinda small to play Galactus, he’s going to need to weight lift and gain several galaxies of muscle

[@TheThird1977]

They're obviously going to use LotR-style forced-perspective and have Finchy stand right next to the camera and have everyone else REALLY FAR AWAY at all times Galactus is on screen.

[@meathandsmans]

Probably like 90 percent of him will be cgi, so it doesn't matter

Ralph Ineson was absolutely incredible as Cid in Final Fantasy 16, he will be an amazing Galactus

[@bigmannugget6979]

Ralph Ineson as Galactus is Perfect.

[@tiago9977]

9:07 Idk why, but when I look at John Malkovich I see him as the Puppet Master lol

[@TitularHeroine]

I thought that as well. He'd be perfect

[@nathansmith1277]

You beat me to it. I was thinking the same thing.

[@MichaelSmith-dk1lc]

he's been fancast as literally every f4 villain

[@toddself5838]

"It's my HEAD Shwartz!"

[@CaptChrispy]

Definitely

[@JesusMartinez-ir1zi]

He was also in "Ready Player One". He was Wade's Mom's live in Boyfriend in the Trailer Park.

[@THELarvious]

Ralph's voice work for Lorath in Diablo was always crazy good. He has one of the most gravelly, stoically powerful voices in the industry. An absolute perfect choice!

[@radbuffman3487]

I flipped my lid when i found out his character was Lorath (in a good way)

[@d4rksh4dow4]

Reed with ultimate nullifier:"Galactus, i've come to bargain"😂

[@liamneaverth7185]

Perfect casting for Galactus!

[@PassiveAgressive319]

Ralph is a staple of British drama and has an amazing deep Yorkshire accent. He was born for this. So incredibly pleased for him

[@arch1ve]

Oh i really hope he does a full yorkshire accent

[@AndyCroft]

The first being in the universe has a Yorkshire accent. The Lancastrian in me feels we won’t hear the end of this….

[@I-AM-HIM_517]

We have been waiting for 20 years for this

[@thecrawlingchaos7622]

he also voices Lorath in the Diablo 4 game and his voice is absolutely perfect.

[@SiRKWiXALOT]

I’m sorry, I read it as Lorax and I was like WHAT

[@_Tree]

I like him as Galactus! Can't wait for this movie. I hope that Galactus stays beyond this movie

[@tiago9977]

Ralph Ineson is an interesting casting for Galactus. I only really know him from Hurricane Heist tbh, but he was great in that.

[@seane4780]

Its all in the voice.

[@EpicMuttonChops]

yes! someone else who knows him from hurricane heist!

[@SectionATE617]

Ok so i didnt recognize him until you said he was in general in the creator!! Makes perfect sense now, his voice is AHHHHHHMAZING!!!!!

[@epelinaivalu8683]

His voice sounds so deep and gravelly. I can see why Marvel wanted to hire him for the role of Galactus. I didn't even know he played the general in The Creator.

[@jayashton85]

javier bardem would’ve been a dope galactus cus his voice and accent would’ve added a deep, mysterious, and menacing tone, but i’m okay with ralph too. 👍😃👍

[@trenchant.t8261]

Wanted Antonio Banderas but this works too nice !

[@AirDave15]

Paul Walter Houser?? No way lol this cast just keeps getting better and better

[@pjny21]

Malkovich is Herbie. I know it. You know it. We know it.

[@DJHolte]

Yeah, at this point in his life, I can't see that Malkovich would be down for wearing a ton of prosthetics and makeup -- but a chance to do voice acting for a project like this would be right up his alley.

[@r_dubs90]

First time I saw him was in the witch. Completely haunting voice !

[@Rosie_The_Ronin]

I personally know Ralph Ineson as Cid from Final Fantasy XVI.

[@thefinalfighter2578]

Great character with the hottest voice 🥵

[@Killingglorie]

Ralph Ineson is a very unique choice, never did i think of a Yorkshire Galactus lol!

[@golden_gloo]

Only just started watching the UK office in the last week and this Galactus is definitely giving off throwing a kettle over a pub energy.

[@yb6038]

Could not be a more perfect choice for galactus

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

Awesome casting Ralp inseson voice is well known in britain great actor a ton of voice work experience, and what a voice.

[@sineaterdred1]

I loved the Green Knight. I think he'll be a great Galactus. 🖖😎👍

[@HACKTACULAR.]

Damn I’m loving the cast so far!

[@giovannisagardia7555]

Ralph is an incredible actor. He'll be perfect for Galactus. From the Witch to The hbo's mini series Chernobyl, He has such range its mind blowing

[@gonzacollao]

Excellent choice for Galactus. He was amazing as The Green Knight.

[@Redlite0_0]

I wanted Lakeith stanfield to play Gambit in X men but him as Silver Surfer would be AMAZING. He has that Stoic demeanor you’d expect from Norin Rad

[@RedoFrieson]

Yessir 👍👍👍👍

[@DatBoiGloomy]

Ive so exited for the futute of marvel recently. It wasnt great at one point but now its looking alot better. Deadpool, Captain America, Daredevil, FF… so many cool projects coming up

[@ramblingrandomthings]

Ralph Ineson is such a perfect casting choice I applaud them for that

[@BlakHeart666]

Hopefully we get a proper galactus this time around

[@JoJo-ir8wo]

Still early for theories but I think galactus will succeed in destroying their earth but I think by the end of the movie galactus along with the fantastic 4 will be put on battle world

[@TrenchCoatGang]

PERFECT 👍

[@user-pl3hw2nw7t]

I'm starting to get really excited!

[@eliechaya9690]

Love from Belgium 🇧🇪 ❤

[@VVoude]

Lorath from Diablo 4 was Galactus?? IM SO HAPPY! Ralph has perfect villain voice.

[@LongDongJohnson0705]

Good start

[@abir95571]

I'm sensing this recipe will work ... looking forward to it

[@sourkoyote]

John Malcovich literally has the most monotone robotic voice out of everybody you just showed. To the point where they made skits to make fun of it on SNL.

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

I hope this version of the 60s (I'm assuming mid to late 60s) has the same culture and stuff. It should be super fun.

[@kevinmcdonald6979]

Yessir!!!!

[@MrSlantwise]

Dad from The Witch! Great actor!

[@Myobih]

What a cast, so excited 😎

[@MJW98101]

Ralph also played Lorath in Diablo 4!!!!! His character was voice acted so well, he held the game together

[@tempvsfrangit3854]

Mr Malkovich has the off-the-wall-ness to portray Annihilus (re: Humma Kavula in HhGttG).

[@delbertcutsinger5646]

Cant wait for this one...

[@b.c.animation4518]

From the pictures I thought it was going to be Chris O'Dowd=))

[@AuriMeansWind]

I’m sure others have brought this up but Ralph Ineson was also Cid in the most recent Numbered Final Fantasy game and he was INCREDIBLE.

[@DavnoNek]

Okay so when you said hes been everywhere and that he should be recognizable to most people, i didn’t recognize at all in all his projects he’s been in, until you played the clip that reveals his famous voice, the first thing that came to mind was president stone from astro boy, but i dont think its the same voice actor, but holyyy that voice is so similar to president stone

[@reconsoldier135]

Perfect voice for Galactus

[@VespaTTV]

Ahhh you should have mentioned more of his prominent voice acting roles, they're still important and matter too!

[@loslakers530]

That voice terrifyingling awesome!

[@retrobrandon]

Also Cid from Final Fantasy XVI! That performance is incredible!

[@greenspider1621]

also a great taste of Ralph Ineson's voice is Lorath from Diablo 4

[@IronDad-ml3wq]

Malkovitch as Nathaniel Richards, calling it now

[@supdawg2559]

Im pumped.

[@Smiley_Smoker]

Please break down Tales of the Empire 🙏

[@davidtulip1343]

This is a great choice, his voice will boom Galactus

[@johnamos7082]

He also played one of the teachers in Waterloo Road 😂 he’s been everywhere

[@gerardmalone1202]

What a casting. What a voice.

[@TheDevilElvisShow]

Solid casting in my opinion. I am looking forward to seeing who's up next. It's a good thing no one has over reacted about the other casting choices...

[@amitysluzara2022]

This casting is perfect! I'm so excited to see Galactus

[@louisberry4403]

I wanted Liam Neeson As Galactus but Ralph Is A Solid pick. Hope to get Michael Fassbender As Dr Doom And Lakeith Steinfeld As Silver Surfer.

[@radebenzima1711]

Haven’t watched Newrockstars in such a long while

[@jpetersgoyanks]

I hope Malkovich is an Elder of the Universe along with the Grandmaster & the Collector.

[@jasonkrisher3134]

Am I the only one who wanted Christopher Walken do the voice of the planet eater?

[@ChronicleComicArt]

The only director who could pull this off is Joe Johnston (Rocketeer & Cap First Avenger). He pulls off a sincere love of retro nostalgia without pandering.

[@user-kk5sr8jd4b]

So is the incredibles going to be added to the fantastic 4 rewatch.

[@delibird1664]

I'm so excited. I wish this movie was coming this summer. I know time goes by fast, but 2025 seems far away lol. I'm also waiting for Pokemon Legends Z-A next year too so I'm waiting for two things to come out.

[@robdilauro4344]

He was also the voice of Asmodeus in The Pope's Exorcist

[@tendeant]

Ineson voiced Cid on FFXVI. Very fitting voice for a galactus

[@noble1825]

First movie that comes to mind for Ralph for me is First Knight. Great movie!

[@TCG237]

Perfect voice

[@marcmarciel2337]

His voice work was amazing in FF16

[@blahblah-ez6cr]

If they give Galatics a Celestials type introdution will be cool. He'll be just giving orders with menacing voice.

[@SyFoxKing24]

I can’t wait till i get to hear Joseph Quinn say “flame on!”

[@mechanicalhands]

If LaKeith Stanfield is Norrin Radd, that’s great. He’s a great performer. And Ralph as galactus? Chefs kiss

[@juansnowgaming]

3:21 he also voices Cid in final fantasy xvi

[@erickhart8046]

He was the narrator for the diablo games too i believe

[@deadheadtq]

Ralph Ineson’s voice is so recognisable. Lorath!

[@ZappaBlues]

Any chance Paste Pot Pete will make it in this movie???

[@randomflagg7331]

I kept asking myself if that was this dudes real voice in "the first Omen," his voice is chilling. perfect choice. I mean PER-FECT! Now, just give him something to work with. uh.... wait, a beacon is set off to summon Galactus? sounds familiar. where have I seen in the MCU about a beacon being set off I wonder.

[@THELIFEOFVIEWS1]

He was also in game of thrones as an iron born who was second in command to Theon

[@jpetersgoyanks]

Great actor, great choice. Love it! The Green Knight is amazing and he is a huge reason why.

[@Darth_Jason]

I’m going to need a visual homage to the shadow (or “giant space cloud”) crossing Saturn in FF: ROTSS. Please, thanks and LET’S FF’n GO!!!

[@vandy2019]

He's also the voice of Cid in Final Fantasy 16!

[@kimberlyjeanne9456]

He also had a bit part in Peaky Blinders. That voice is iconic

[@reptilusreptosis6275]

Galactus in the 2000's Ultimates universe was technically a machine world that dispatched drones to worlds to pillage them for resources, so that might have been why the misconception of Galactus as a robot, came from

[@jons4917]

Wow, Galactus's major claim to fame is he used his tie to throw a kettle over a pub! :D

[@oskarlipinski9037]

Ralph Ineson played also in the newest Omen (2024).

[@CowleyStudentJ]

John Malkovich as The Watcher, maybe?
