How Will Sue Storm Evolve After 'Fantastic Four'? Vanessa Kirby Gives Hints

So, here’s the thing — Sue Storm in Fantastic Four has been through a lot. We’re talking giving birth, dying, and coming back to life all in one whirlwind week. And yet, Vanessa Kirby hints this is just the beginning. Sue isn’t just learning to control her powers — she’s figuring out how to take care of herself, set boundaries, and face her impulses head-on.

A Journey of Self-Discovery

According to Vanessa, Sue’s next chapter in Fantastic Four is all about self-discovery and growth.

"It will be the hardest question for the people to ask at the end of the movie," Kirby said. "The thing is, she’s at the beginning of her journey of taking care of herself truly. Because the behaviour is very destructive, but completely understandable given the circumstances."

Metaphor for Real-Life Challenges

What really struck me is how Vanessa frames Sue’s struggles almost as a metaphor. Even though most of us won’t experience anything remotely close to what Sue has gone through, the choices she faces — learning to say no, confronting impulses, being alone — are relatable on a human level.

Kirby explained that after such an extreme week of life-altering events, Sue is just starting to reckon with the emotional and moral consequences of her actions, and that’s the Sue Storm she’s most excited to explore next.

Why This Matters for Fantastic Four Fans

This evolution of Sue Storm adds a deeper emotional layer to Fantastic Four, showing that even superheroes deal with trauma, destructive impulses, and the struggle to grow.

It’s a storyline that blends action, personal stakes, and character development, making the upcoming films in the Fantastic Four franchise much more compelling.
