Galactus is set to be the main villain in the Fantastic Four reboot, based on a new MCU report. Julia Garner has been cast as the Silver Surfer, leading to speculation about Galactus' role.
Galactus has recently been confirmed to make his MCU debut in 2025's Fantastic Four (played by actor Ralph Ineson), which comes at a time when many fans have wondered if the Devourer of Worlds could fill the role of the MCU's next overarching 'big bad', just as Thanos was in the Infinity Saga.
British actor Ralph Ineson (“The First Omen,” “The Witch”) is the latest addition to the cast of Marvel's “The Fantastic Four,” as the world-devouring cosmic villain Galactus.
Thanos came close to killing Galactus during the Infinity Gauntlet miniseries. Super-charged with the six Infinity Stones, Thanos easily trounced Galactus, imprisoning him alongside other cosmic beings, including the In-Betweener and two Celestials.
The Fantastic Four, meet your villain. Ralph Ineson, the British actor whose three-decade career ranges from the Harry Potter movies to recent horror prequel The First Omen, has landed the plum part of Galactus, the antagonist in Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four.
Marvel's new Galactus actor has the perfect response to his casting: "World devouring cosmic villain is it?" The news is out: Galactus is joining the MCU and will be played by British actor Ralph Ineson. Reacting to the news on Twitter, The First Omen star shared his reaction, and it's pretty perfect.
Indeed, by his own admission, he is destined to one day give back to the universe infinitely more than he has ever taken from it. Galactus was recently killed by Thor. He was reborn when his corpse, which had been reanimated by the Destroyer, devoured energy from the M'kraan Crystal.
Odin stands a good chance at defeating a moderately-fed Galactus. Odin has been stated to be equal to a moderately-fed Galactus. Though Galan did withstand a powerful headbutt from Odin. The Devourer had just consumed one planet before that.
Kang is stronger then Galactus! Kang is a threat for the entire multiverse (so also What If...?, Raimi and Webb trilogies, Fox X-Men Universe), has millions of Variants + the entire TVA can travel through the multiverse and through time!
Galactus, Marvel's Devourer of Worlds, is basically a god, but even he may not be able to defeat Imperiex, DC's Destroyer of Galaxies. Galactus is easily one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe, but DC's equivalent, Imperiex, puts that power to shame.
What is the connection between Galactus and the Eternals? While Galactus does seem to share some visual qualities with the Celestials—the gods of the Eternals—there is no known direct link between them at this time aside from their shared status as godlike cosmic entities.
The Fantastic Four, Avengers, and Dr. Strange defeated the exhausted Galactus, but as the world devourer lay dying, Reed organized efforts to save him. Galactus nonetheless needed to feed, but instead accepted the Human Torch Frankie Raye's offer to become his new herald, transforming her into Nova.
Galactus would win. Dormammu may be a god within the Dark Dimension but he's a fairly weak one. Doctor Strange has been able to defeat him there. Galactus is on a whole different level of power.
Wiz: Unicron was an insanely terrifying threat, but Galactus had the power, experience, and arsenal to ultimately annihilate him. Boomstick: If you thought Galactus was going down in this fight, you are "Unic-wrong". Wiz: The winner is Galactus.
Highfather's power is more than enough to defeat Galactus. The Power Cosmic and the Source are roughly equivalent, so Highfather could match Galactus's might. He'd do his best to defeat Galactus quickly by tackling the titan with the full power of the Source.
Manhattan likely wouldn't hold a candle to Galactus. The biggest argument in favor of Manhattan in this fight is that he took out Pandora, a cosmic entity in DC Comics, so he could theoretically do the same with Galactus. However, Galactus can wipe out multiple star systems if he is hungry enough.
Galactus may have immense power, but he needs to constantly feed on planetary-levels of energy to sustain it. Goku, on the other hand, often reaches his most powerful form when he's at the very end of his rope. So while Galactus would get weaker as the fight went on, Goku would get stronger, giving him the edge.
How Hercules Bested Galactus - With The Universe's Strongest Drink. While traversing through space, Hercules came face to face with the planet devouring Galactus - and defeated him in the strangest way possible. Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds, is a force as old as the universe itself.
One of the coolest moments in Marvel's Fantastic Four cartoon from the 1990s was when Ghost Rider shows up and basically takes down Galactus right away using his Penance Stare, or, as how fans often describe it, essentially "one punches" him...
However, Ultron's control over the Infinity Stones and the power he exhibited during his battle with The Watcher puts him on an entirely different level that could take out Galactus and his heralds.
During a final confrontation near Chandilar, the throneworld of the Shi'ar, the Silver Surfer turns Galactus' siphoning machines against him. A starving Galactus dies and assumes the form of a star.
The Devourer of Worlds is making his way onto the big screen, proving that The Fantastic Four will face a formidable threat. Ralph Ineson, a prolific English actor known for his roles both in comedy and dramas, is set to bring the larger-than-life villain into the MCU.
Even though there are threats more powerful than Galactus and the Celestials in Marvel Comics, Galactus has never feared anything as much as he's feared Tiamut.
