Marvel Studios has found its Fantastic Four movie. Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Joseph Quinn will play the protagonists in the film. The Fabulous Four feature.
Pascal was previously reported to play Reed Richard/Mr. Great, while many others have been rumored in recent months. Kirby will play Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, while Joseph Quinn will play her brother Johnny Storm/The Human Torch and Moss-Bachrach will play Ben Grimm/The Thing.
The casting ends years of speculation about who might play on the team. The film has a new release date of July 25, 2025 and hails from WandaVision Director Matt Shakman. Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer penned a draft of the screenplay with Avatar: Water Road Writer Josh Friedman is working on the latest version.
Marvel announced the news early Wednesday in a Valentine’s Day Instagram message to fans. At the same time, Disney revealed the new release date and title change (formerly known asThe Fabulous Four).
The film’s release being postponed from early May to July is not surprising given that the cast has not been finalized yet. But Marvel won’t be giving up the May weekend date, which is considered the start of the summer box office season. The Fantastic Four The histories were essentially swapped with the anti-hero center Lightning, which now opens in theaters on May 5. The other two Marvel films for 2025, Captain America: Brave New World (February 14) and code (November 7) They stay where they were.
The Fantastic Four It was among the most anticipated Marvel films, perhaps because its team was never done justice on the big screen. Roger Corman produced a low-rent version in 1994 that was never released, while Fox and director Tim Story released a pair of films in 2005 and 2007 that received mixed reviews and starred Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, future MCU actor Chris Evans, and Michael. Chiklis. In 2015, Fox attempted to revive the series under director Josh Trank, but the results were disastrous. A few years after that, Disney acquired Fox, opening the door for the Fantastic Four to enter the MCU.
The Fantastic Four are a cornerstone of the Marvel mythos, with writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby introducing the team in 1961. The Fantastic Four #1, the comic that will launch the Marvel Universe.
The superteam’s selection has been closely watched – and speculated – as broadcasts spread across the Internet. John Krasinski will play a version of Reed Richards in May 2022 Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Which was killed quickly.
