After months of speculation, Marvel Studios has finally confirmed the cast of its upcoming Fantastic Four movie. A piece of Valentine’s Day-themed artwork released on Marvel Studios’ social media accounts confirmed Pedro Pascal as Reed Richard/Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Susan Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing. The artwork by Wesley Burt and the new logo affect a style reminiscent of the 1960s, the decade when the Fantastic Four first appeared and formed the cornerstone of the Marvel Universe. One could speculate this suggests the film will be a period piece set in the ’60s or at least include some scenes from that time, though no plot details for the film have been officially revealed as of yet.
Matt Shakman is directing the movie, which is now slated for release in theaters on July 25, 2025. Shakman has stated that the reboot will differ significantly from previous efforts to bring Marvel’s first family to the big screen, “It’s different in so many ways. I wish I could be specific,” Shakman said. “I wish I could say more. But we are doing things very differently from a story standpoint, from an approach to the filmmaking standpoint, that really fits the material. I wish I could say more. I would love to, but I can’t. But I think it’s going to be unlike anything you’ve seen before, and certainly unlike anything at Marvel that you’ve seen before.”
