Vanessa Kirby, who plays Sue Storm, discusses the deep character work for Marvel's 'The Fantastic Four.' She explains that the film starts after the team gets their powers, focusing on the psychological aftermath of the 'horrifying' accident and their pre-existing relationships.
Transcript
00:00Personally, I really wanted to make a psychological sense
00:02of where exactly they were, where we were meeting them.
00:05Matt Shackman always said, you know, this is an origin story.
00:08We've chosen not to go down the route of just making a movie
00:11about how they got their powers, but after.
00:13And so we had to know the before,
00:15and we also had to know exactly what happened in that accident.
00:17So I think we explored that deeply about how individually horrifying it was,
00:23but also collective experience, and that was really meaningful.
00:26Also how our relationship had been was really critical
00:29and how in love they were, because it wasn't you meeting them
00:31as they were getting to know each other and falling in love.
00:33It was, you know, 10 years on from their meeting.
00:36And so, yeah, that historic relationships is always really important.
00:39But specific things, I think it was also, the other thing is,
00:42how do we believe that these four people went to space
00:45as if they were in the 60s?
00:46You know, they were astronauts, scientists,
00:49like how did they become astronauts?
00:50It wasn't just, oh, some passenger went along and happened to,
00:54you know what I mean?
00:55We had to be really specific about those,
00:57what the qualities of why someone would study that kind of work
01:00and then change from these people.
