Is it clobberin’ time for Bruce Willis?

Numerous sources around the net (including Comic Book Movie) are saying that Fox wants Bruce Willis to the voice behind the ever-lovin’ blue-eyed Thing in the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot. With the Thing being completely CGI this time, I can totally hear Willis as Grimm. He has good comedic timing, as well as his bad-ass roots, so he’s covered what the Thing is all about.

I’ve also heard rumors of Paul Rudd as the new Reed Richards, but I think that’s a bit of a stretch (pun intended). Though with the movie approaching, expect more casting announcements in the months ahead.

So readers, what are your thoughts of Willis stepping into the role?

I think if we've learned anything from X-Men: First Class (not to mention Daredevil, Elektra, the first two FF flicks, Spider-Man 3, Catwoman etc.), it's that it's never a good idea to stake your hopes on comic-based film news until you've seen some script and/or footage.

That said, I do like the sound of this on the surface.

Of course, Demi would make a pretty convincing Thing too, nowadays.
