It’s great to see actors get their due. Ebon Moss-Bachrach is one such actor who is finally reaping the benefits of his hard work. Having been in the industry for so long, Bachrach has since been seen in a few films albeit away from the central spotlight. More recently, he was cast as Ben Grimm aka The Thing in Marvel’s upcoming Fantastic Four.
The casting news was well-received by the fandom, keeping their hopes and prayers intact for the studio to give the family a proper welcome into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
What will happen to the restaurant if Ebon Moss-Bachrach goes to space?
Two of the most iconic roles in Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s filmography are in The Bear and Fantastic Four which are running concurrently. Somehow, the idea spread around the internet that the two stories take place in the same world, sending fans down a wormhole that posits Bachrach’s cousin character from The Bear is being sent to space.
What followed is a hilarious debate on social media as fans are worried about what would happen to the restaurant while some suggest that it too move to space. In the Fantastic Four narrative, Grimm is an astronaut and former USAF test pilot.
This hilarious conjunction of the actor’s two roles has become a talked about topic on X with many fans chiming in with their take on the joke. The Hulu series The Bear depicts Bachrach as Michael’s best friend who manages the restaurant that Carmen comes to take over.
