Galactus is played in Fantastic Four: First Steps by British actor Ralph Ineson. The star has come a long way since playing David Brent's obnoxious friend Chris Finch in The Office (UK), with acclaimed turns in Game of Thrones, Chernobyl and Robert Eggers' The Witch bringing him to Hollywood's attention.

"I'm sorry she didn't get a chance to see the finished movie," director Matt Shakman tells EW of the dedication to his late mother, Inez Shakman.

First Steps brings one of the comics' most powerful creations to the big screen. No, we're not talking about Mole Man.
