Ioan Gruffudd delighted to see Chris Evans reprising his 'Fantastic Four' role in 'Deadpool & Wolverine'

Ioan Gruffudd is sharing his thoughts on his Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer co-star Chris Evans reprising the role of Johnny Storm in Deadpool & Wolverine.

"I absolutely loved working with him. I just remember laughing with Chris every single day on set, almost like giddy teenagers," he expressed in an interview with Vulture. "It was a true delight to see Chris reprising Johnny, and that’s such an iconic sequence in that film. I was laughing out loud and just overjoyed by it, and it’s a beautiful homage to what Chris did as Johnny."

While he hasn't had the chance to reprise his role as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, he has been supportive of the new group of actors taking on the beloved Marvel roles in Fantastic Four: First Steps: Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn. 

On Instagram, he wrote, "Marvel’s first family is alive and well and in safe hands. A superb homage to the original comics from the sixties. Acting, production & costume design, score and visual effects are out of this world!"
