Ebon Moss-Bachrach could be feeling the Heat 2 around the corner

Ebon Moss-Bachrach played the ever-lovin’ blue-eyed Thing in Fantastic Four: First Steps and survived the pressure-cooker environments of both The Bear and Andor (er, maybe not Andor), so the 49-year-old actor is no stranger to feeling the heat around the corner. (Human Torch jokes! We got ’em.) That’s handy: Per The Wrap, Moss-Bachrach is in final discussions to play the criminal consultant/magnificent beard-havin’ Kelso in Michael Mann’s increasingly stacked sequel, Heat 2. Moss-Bachrach reportedly won the role over Guy Pearce. Oh, and you remember Kelso: He was played by Tom Noonan. So, y’know. Pressure’s on.
