“I’ve been thinking a lot doing Avengers and stuff about how someone that’s been through, in the space of basically a week, someone who has given birth and has died and come back to life… how a death experience like that would change you.
I’ve been listening to a lot of people that have had those kinds of experiences and what they learn, and therefore how different they are after they come back from that.”
What Vanessa Kirby’s New Avengers: Doomsday Comments Mean
Vanessa Kirby’s newAvengers: Doomsdayupdate is exciting. While there should be many events happening in rapid succession in the next Avengers movie, it is interesting to see that the actress isbringing even more depth to Sue Storm. The character was easily one of the standouts inThe Fantastic Four: First Steps, with Kirby being the best live-action Sue.
Given howthe Fantastic Four are set to play a major role in the next two Avengers movies, Kirby’s new Sue Storm comments track. It would be within reason for Marvel to continue to flesh out these characters as humans beyond their superhero antics, which was a huge part of whyThe Fantastic Four: First Stepssucceeded.
Sue’s death after being the team’s biggest player against Galactus was undoubtedly the MCU movie’s most shocking moment. Like the actress mentioned, Sue gave birth, died, and was resurrected in rapid succession. That surely changes a person. Sincethe Fantastic Four movie had a four-year time jump in its post-credits scene,Avengers: Doomsdaywill explore the events' long-term effects.
Our Take On Vanessa Kirby’s New Avengers: Doomsday Comments
WhileThe Fantastic Four: First Stepsmade sure every member of the team got their time to shine, Vanessa Kirby’s Sue Storm was likely the film’s most developed hero. To see thatSue’s death and return to life will not be glossed over, which past superhero movies have done, is exciting. It can make the character richer.
With a strong performer likeKirby, who excels in the quieter, introspective moments, Sue should now be one to watch inAvengers: Doomsday. Having died and fought to prevent that fate for her world, Sue will likely use that as motivation to prevent incursions from destroying the multiverse inAvengers: Doomsday. Perhaps Doctor Doom could manipulate her through that.
