Jessica Alba Would “Jump at the Chance” to Join the MCU
Marvel Studios is getting ready to relaunch the Fantastic Four with a star-studded cast that includes Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm/the Human Torch) and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben Grimm/Thing), and for a generation of fans the definitive Fantastic Four will always be the Tim Kim Story films from the early 2000s.
That iteration of the Fantastic Four was comprised of Ioan Gruffudd (Reed Richards), Jessica Alba (Susan Storm), Chris Evans (Johnny Storm), and Michael Chiklis (Ben Grimm). While the films were largely dismissed by critics, both 2005’s Fantastic Four and its 2007 sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer were box office successes.

With Deadpool & Wolverine set to bridge the gap between the Fox Marvel movie and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), many fans have speculated that we could see the original Fantastic Four pop up in the third Deadpool installment before giving way to the new iteration of the team.
Jessica Alba Would Join the MCU
In a recent interview with IGN, Jessica Alba was asked about reprising her iconic role in the MCU.

While it sounds like Alba would be happy to return, Marvel has not reached out to the actress.
“I loved those movies, and [it] also changed my life, that series,” Alba said.
“No one has talked to me about [a return], but I would jump at the chance… I loved that character, and I felt like she was so unique in the Marvel universe at the time. There weren’t kind of female superheroes like her.”

Where Alba Could Pop Up?
While it doesn’t sound like Alba will appear in Deadpool & Wolverine, there could be more opportunities on the horizon.

With the Marvel multiverse set to come together for Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars, perhaps Alba will get a chance to play Sue Storm again after all.
