In #1 of The Fantastic Four: First Steps comic (via @spider_fan77,) which serves as a canon tie-in to the film, the first issue of the prequel reveals a sH๏τ of Hauser who is dressed exactly like Marvel’s Mole Man, confirming he is bringing the villain to life in the MCU. Check it out below:

The Fantastic Four: First Steps #1 was written by Matt Fraction, with art by Mark Buckingham, as it is now available for purchase in local comic shops or digitally. The comic launch is also properly timed, as The Fantastic Four: First Steps opens in theaters in just a couple of weeks.

What Paul Walter Hauser’s MCU Role Confirmation Means For The Fantastic Four: First Steps

With Hauser’s role in The Fantastic Four: First Steps cast finally confirmed, it showcases how much Marvel Studios is tapping into the team’s larger comic book mythology compared to the previous film iterations. It is also confirming that the MCU reboot of Marvel’s First Family is going for more comic book accuracy, as this will be Mole Man’s first proper live-action depiction.

What remains to be seen, however, is how significant Mole Man will be to The Fantastic Four: First Steps story, given that Galactus is the main villain of the Phase 6 installment. But seeing that The Fantastic Four: First Steps is dealing with multiple villains from the team’s rogues’ gallery is incredibly exciting.

With Hauser being an incredibly talented actor, it will be fun to see how he brings Mole Man to life in The Fantastic Four: First Steps and in the MCU as a whole. Whether or not there are more surprise Fantastic Four enemies in store remains to be seen.

Time will also tell if The Fantastic Four: First Steps is the only time fans will see Mole Man in the MCU. With only a few more weeks left before the film releases, the world will soon get to experience Hauser’s Mole Man for themselves in The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
