Ralph Ineson plays Galactus in Fantastic Four: First Steps, premiering soon. His shooting experience involved an enormous costume without air conditioning. A dedicated crew helped keep him cool during filming. The character of Galactus will be represented using CGI as well as practical effects. Ineson found great joy in depicting the character, emphasizing the unique challenges of shooting in a large suit and on a miniature set. Early reviews suggest that this version of the Fantastic Four heroes is the best seen on screen to date.
It became quite a production. I had a pit team like a Formula 1 car. So I'd have about six or eight people around me all the time, keeping me cool in between takes.
Since Galactus is a giant cosmic entity, the character will be portrayed partially, but not entirely, through CGI in First Steps, but Ineson was still in a full body suit while filming.
Despite the ordeal, Ineson says it was 'great fun' to play Galactus. His scenes were shot practically on a miniature set, so he could play the giant villain with less CGI.
Veteran actor Ralph Ineson, who garnered attention for his distinctive voice and rich performances as Cid in Final Fantasy XVI and Lorath in Diablo IV, is playing Galactus in the film.
