Peter Kramer/NBC(NEW YORK) — When Kate Mara went to went to Comic-Con earlier this year with her Fantastic Four co-stars, it was her first time so the actress didn’t know what to expect. Mara, who was at the San Diego convention to promote the latest Marvel film, said Tuesday that she got a welcome she didn’t anticipate.
“We spen[t] a whole day there, sort of working and doing press, and you don’t really get to meet the fans. So the next morning, Jamie Bell and I decided, ‘Well, we want the experience of Comic-Con. So let’s just go out, let’s walk to get a coffee amongst all of the fans,'” she explained on Tuesday’s Live with Kelly and Michael.
“And we were like, ‘Well, maybe this is a bad idea. We’ll get mobbed and it’ll be crazy,’ and not one person…not one person noticed us,” she said, laughing.
Mara, who took the snub in stride, explained more about her character Sue Storm in the latest adaptation of the classic Marvel tale.
“When your first meet Sue in our film, she’s pretty shy and sort of keeps herself hidden from people. She’s very focused on her work and intelligent. And then this big accident happens and she becomes the Invisible Woman,” she explained.
Fantastic Four, also starring Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan, opens Friday.
