Bruce Willis being pursued to play Fantastic Four's The Thing, Sylvester Stallone's supervillain in The Expendables 2
Lured, perhaps, by the hormone-stirring scent of grapefruit and vetiver, everybody wants a piece of Bruce Willis right now—chief among them Fox, who is currently pursuing Willis to play the role of The Thing/Ben Grimm in its Fantastic Four “reboot.” (Yes, it’s already time for a Fantastic Four reboot. The days, they just flitter by.) ComicBookMovie.com reports that the studio is planning to turn The Thing into a suitably enormous CGI beast a la The Hulk, which means Willis would mostly be responsible for voiceover work—as opposed to being forced to spend hours in the makeup chair encased in orange foam like Michael Chiklis—a move that definitely makes it more likely that he’d say yes.
