Less than two days after debuting the Deadpool & Wolverine trailer and setting the web buzzing, Marvel Studios unleashed a particular Valentine’s Day deal with for followers with the official announcement of the Fantastic Four movie cast.
Suiting up as Marvel’s First Family is Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and and Ebon Moss-Bachrach asBen Grimm/The Thing). If we’re being trustworthy, rumors of the casting have been circulating for months now, most particularly Pascal, so it’s not an entire shocker. Though it’s finally good for Marvel to return out and formally announce it with a pleasant picture of the cast no much less.
Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, followers have been foaming on the mouth for the Fantastic Four to look within the MCU for years which was finally made potential because of Disney’s acquisition of Fox.
Hard to imagine it’s been greater than three years since Kevin Feige first introduced a Fantastic Four movie within the works throughout Disney’s Investor Day presentation. Much has actually modified within the intervening, significantly the state of the MCU. Spider-Man: Homecoming director Jon Watts was initially slated to helm the movie however now Matt Shakman taking up directing duties. Shakman isn’t any stranger to Marvel having directed the acclaimed WandaVision sequence.
It goes with out saying the Marvel Cinematic Universe is in a little bit of a tough form proper now because of an emphasis on amount over high quality and is in dire want of returning to its former glory. With any luck, the tide will flip makes the Marvel Jesus a.ok.a the aforementioned Deadpool & Wolverine movie. Given the lower than stellar reception the FF’s final cinematic outing, the bar is ready fairly low. I’m simply hoping this model of The Thing truly wears pants!
Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four arrives in theaters July 25, 2025.
