Marvel Cinematic Universe has officially unveiled the star-studded lineup for its highly anticipated film, “The Fantastic Four.”
Pedro Pascal, known for his roles in “The Mandalorian” and “Narcos,” takes on the iconic role of Reed Richards, also known as Mr. Fantastic. Joining him is Vanessa Kirby, acclaimed for her performances in “The Crown” and “Pieces of a Woman,” portraying Sue Storm, aka the Invisible Woman. Joseph Quinn, recognized for his work in “Stranger Things,” steps into the role of Johnny Storm, the Human Torch. Lastly, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, known for his Emmy-winning role in “The Bear,” embodies Ben Grimm, famously known as the Thing.
In a surprising move, Disney has reshuffled its release schedule, pushing back “The Fantastic Four” to July 25, 2025, while moving up “Thunderbolts” to May 2, 2025. These films are part of a packed Marvel lineup, including “Captain America: Brave New World” and “Blade” in 2025, followed by “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty” in 2026.
As is customary with Marvel, plot details are being kept under wraps. However, fans can expect the classic origin story of the Fantastic Four, a group of astronauts transformed into superheroes after exposure to cosmic rays in space. Reed gains elasticity, Sue gains invisibility and force field manipulation, Johnny gains the power of fire and flight, and Ben transforms into a rock-like creature with immense strength.
Expanding the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Meet the New Fantastic Four Cast!
Directed by Matt Shakman (“WandaVision”) and written by Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan, and Ian Springer, filming for “Fantastic Four” is slated to commence by summer.
The casting choices have generated immense buzz, particularly Kirby’s enthusiasm for the role of Sue Storm, which she expressed previously. This marks the first time the Fantastic Four will be integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, following Disney‘s acquisition of 21st Century Fox.
The inclusion of the Fantastic Four serves as a pivotal moment for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, providing a new cornerstone following the exits of characters like Steve Rogers and Tony Stark. While the central villain for the film remains unconfirmed, fans eagerly await the epic showdown that awaits Marvel’s newest superhero team.
