Now that we know a Fantastic Four feature is officially in development at Marvel Studios, the internet is abuzz with fan castings and potential villain choices. When it comes to the latter, one popular choice that continues to pop up isn't Dr. Doom or Annihilus, no. Believe it or not, a shocking amount of Fantastic Four fans are hopeful Mole Man will make his live-action debut in the First Family's first feature from Marvel Studios.

The supervillain — real name Harvey Rupert Elder — is as old as the team itself. Created by legendary comic creators Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Mole Man first appeared in The Fantastic Four #1, one of the most iconic funny books ever created. Though the character was initially supposed to debut in Josh Trank's Fant4astic, the studio switched plans at the last moment and instead had Tim Blake Nelson play Dr. Harvey Allen, a character original to film.

Suffice to say, Fantastic Four fans are hoping Mole Man can finally show up in live-action this time around. Keep scrolling to see what they are saying!

Neverwhere

Know where Marvel hasn’t explored yet? Underground. What lurks below and who are the people forgotten who suffer the most from the consequences of big battles? Having Mole Man as the villain in Fantastic Four could shine a light on that plus be like Marvel’s Neverwhere.

Always Sunny

Fantastic Four movie's not hard to cast, just use the It's Always Sunny cast with Devito as Mole Man.

Jack Black

So the Internet wants @jackblack in the MCU?

OK, I'll bite

How about him just turning up in every film like Stan used to?

No?

OK

Mole Man. With the Fantastic Four on the way, you can't start with Doctor Doom. He needs Thanos level build-up. Have Mole Man as first antagonist. pic.twitter.com/AnTw1kVJEf
