Spoilers for The Fantastic Four: First Steps below.
Move over, Tom Holland. There’s a new MCU blabbermouth in town. Paul Walter Hauser says he told “70 or 80 random people” about his role in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Hauser plays Mole Man in the film, something that is not readily apparent in the promotional material for the film. But it was apparent to anyone who happened to ask PWH when he was feeling puckish. Speaking to GQ, Hauser said he’s not afraid of no Marvel gag order. “For the most part I was zip-lipped, and everybody understands at this point. They all know if you do Star Wars, or Marvel, you can’t talk about it,” he said. “But if I’m being honest—and I pride myself on my honesty nowadays—I probably told 70 or 80 random people, be it family members or fans. I’m not gonna lie and say I told literally no one. I told several dozen people.”
However, those several dozen people did keep their traps shut. “But at the same time, they weren’t blabbering it out, or giving it to news outlets. They were respectful, and excited, and what-have-you,” Hasuer said. “But if a little kid comes up to me in a wheelchair with a comic book, and they’re like, ‘Are you Mole Man?’ I would say something like, ‘I don’t know man, I hear there is a mole…’ And wink at them, just to get them excited.” Also, Paul Walter Hauser is in everything, so it’s probably a good guess to assume he’s in any movie coming out in 2025.
