Galactus actor Ralph Ineson reveals the impressive practical costume he wore for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, but the wholesome story behind his homemade version might be even better
It's been no secret for some time that Ralph Ineson wore a full, practical Galactus costume to film his scenes in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and now, the actor himself has revealed a behind-the-scenes look from the blockbuster film showing exactly what the costume he wore on set looks like.
Here's the post:
Ineson's incredibly detailed MCU costume perfectly captures the essence of the comic book version (aside from his admittedly adorable Yoda socks). But that's not all. Included in the image is Ineson's own daughter who is wearing a Galactus helmet herself - one that she made by hand as a gift for Ineson when he got the part.
For what it's worth, Ineson's Galactus is even more impressive in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, delivering what may be the most comic accurate portrayal of a character in the MCU, an especially great feat considering his funky Silver Age design.
Indeed, the film captured Marvel's First Family just about as closely as may be possible in a film. And with its focus on the FF as a family, it's especially endearing that Ralph Ineson's daughter was so involved in her dad's time as Galactus. I'd be incredibly proud and excited too.
What's interesting is that, in comics, Galactus does indeed have a daughter, Galacta, who has mostly been seen in alt-reality stories. She's recently gotten some attention thanks to her role as the announcer in the smash-hit video game Marvel Rivals.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps is now in theaters, kicking off Marvel Phase 6. For more, check out our guides to upcoming Marvel movies and shows and how to watch the Marvel movies in order.

Everyone Is Making The Same Joke About The 31-Year-Old Baby, And I'm Sorry But It's A Good One
An Ohio couple welcomed their baby boy, Thaddeus, last week! Little Thaddeus isn't your typical newborn, though. He's 31 years old. Thaddeus was born from an embryo that had been frozen for 31 years, making him the longest-frozen embryo to ever result in a successful birth. A tweet from Pop Crave gorgeously visualizing the momentous occasion is going viral: PopCrave/Igor Kovalchuk via Alamy/Twitter: @PopCrave The replies are somewhat killing me. These jokes write themselves. "That baby could've been playing tony hawks pro skater 2 and listening to killswitch engage but now it has to play fortnite and listen to carti," one person said. Another person pleaded: "If life begins at conception, let this baby DRIVE and VOTE." And this person said, as a matter of fact: "She should be at the club." But one joke is more popular than the rest. It's this: "The first kid to have the RIGHT to claim he was born in the wrong generation." Because this thing is so absurd, here are some of the funniest tweets about this 31-year-old baby: "Good luck explaining that gap on ur resume bitch." "The concept of starting life at 31." "No the oldest baby ever is still this one." "Avatar: The Last Millennial." "God I'd be so pissed to find out I could've been a chic 90s baby and now I'm just a quirky headline in humanity's apathetic end times." "Imagine being born 31 years old." "The Birth of the Final Millennial." "Poor kid missed out on all the good shit." "That baby is going to have a weird craving for some Fruitopia." "This poor kid could've been born during one of the best decades in history and instead he's born into the era of Cocomelon, TikTok, and AI slop." And lastly: "Baby freezer burnt as hell I'm sure."

Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson's loved ones aren't spilling on their relationship, but they are supportive
People in entertainmentFacebookTweetLink Follow 'Naked Gun' costars Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson are coy when asked if they are romantically involved, but we do know how some of their friends and family feel about their closeness. Bravo executive and talk show host Andy Cohen - who was a good friend of Neeson's late wife, actress Natasha Richardson - was among the first people to provide insight, saying during a recent episode of his SiriusXM show that he and others who were close to Richards were 'very much stanning whatever this is' between Neeson and Anderson. Others appear to also be showing support. Richardson died in a skiing accident in 2009. She was 45. Over the weekend her sister, actress Joely Richardson, commented with seven hearts from her verified Instagram account on a carousel of photos of Anderson and Neeson, which Anderson posted on her verified Instagram account. Anderson and Neeson appeared on Sunday's episode of 'Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen' and Cohen let it be known that he would not be asking about the nature of their relationship. But the host did reiterate that Neeson's friends are 'very much stanning this relationship' and referenced the actor's adult son, Daniel Neeson, who was in the studio audience. 'Right, Danny?,' Cohen said to the younger Neeson, who smiled and appeared to agree. Liam Neeson reached out and held Anderson's hand after Cohen made the comment. Speculation about their relationship swirled as the pair began promoting their new film, now in theaters, with onlookers noting their chemistry on and off screen. Neeson first fanned the flames when he told People magazine in an interview last year that he is 'madly in love with' Anderson, going on to compliment her work ethic.

SPLINTER CELL Series Creator Derek Kolstad Explains Why Sam Fisher Is 'Not the Best' — GeekTyrant
Netflix's upcoming animated series Splinter Cell: Deathwatch is bringing back stealth icon Sam Fisher, but not exactly the way longtime fans might expect. Series creator Derek Kolstad, the writer behind John Wick and Nobody , recently opened up about his approach to the character, and he doesn't see Sam Fisher as ultimate ghost operative. Kolstad told Den of Geek: 'One of the things that I like about Sam Fisher, John Wick, and Hutch Mansell [from Nobody] is that, yes, they're pretty badass at what they do but, more importantly, they're not the best. They get beat up.' That an interesting outlook considering Fisher's reputation as one of gaming's most elite covert agents, but Kolstad seems intent on making him more grounded and vulnerable. This means that Deathwatch might lean toward a grittier, hands-on style similar to Splinter Cell: Conviction , rather than the purely shadow-driven approach from the original trilogy. In the early games, Fisher was a master of infiltration, relying on high-tech gadgets and his iconic night vision goggles to ghost through missions without leaving a trace. Kolstad went on to explain: 'You look at the games, and he's incredibly adept and comfortable at tech, but sometimes a bullet or a blade or the ripping out of some cord is your best line of defense.' That philosophy hints at a Fisher who isn't invincible, and whose fights might be a little more brutal and desperate this time around. But Kolstad believes the heart of the character remains the same. 'I always loved the world of Splinter Cell. I'm a huge fan of army-of-one [stories] if you do it right. And yet, even though he's had hard decisions to make, it's just refreshing that Sam Fisher's a hero. 'He has moments of empathy and having to do this thing when both decisions are wrong, but one is a little less wrong at the cost of his soul and his own personal life, but for the benefit of the rest of us.' Splinter Cell: Deathwatch will feature Liev Schreiber as the voice of Sam Fisher, stepping into the role long held by Michael Ironside. The series made its first appearance at the Annecy Festival, where director Guillaume Dousse revealed some of the visual and tonal inspirations for the show, citing Ghost in the Shell , Ozark , and even elements of Mission: Impossible . Producer Hugo Revon added: 'It was interesting to have this aging character, not totally like the Tom Cruise version but more realistic, and more weathered by life.' The series is set to hit Netflix in late 2025, joining the platform's growing roster of video game adaptations like Castlevania and the upcoming Devil May Cry series. Meanwhile, fans are still waiting on that elusive Splinter Cell remake, which Ubisoft teased years ago but hasn't delivered any meaningful updates on. So, how do you feel about a Sam Fisher who isn't the best at what he does?
