Fantastic Four: Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Queen, Ebon Moss-Bachlak confirmed for reboot

Marvel Studios surprised fans on Valentine’s Day by announcing the cast of “Fantastic Four.” The producers confirmed that the film is being rebooted and announced the cast. Marvel Studios revealed on Instagram on Wednesday that Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Queen and Ebon Moss-Bachrach will star in the film. They also shared a cute piece of art showing off the cast and the roles they will play in the film.

The poster revealed that Pedro Pascal has been cast as Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic. Meanwhile, Vanessa Kirby will explore the role of Sue Storm, aka The Invisible Woman. Joseph Queen will play Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachlach will play Ben Grimm, aka The Thing. Marvel shared the news with the caption: “Happy Valentine’s Day from Marvel’s First Family! Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Joseph Queen are Fantastic Four.”

They also confirmed that Fantastic Four will be released on July 25, 2025.

Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe shared their reactions to the casting on various social media platforms. “I think the cast, the costumes and the ’60s angle were perfect for the #FantasticFour. But the biggest key was director Matt Shakman. ‘WandaVison’ was a huge success and has the best chemistry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and elite emotional stories. This is exactly what Marvel’s First Family needs,” one post on X read. “Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby as Reed Richards and Sue Storm? I’m in. #FantasticFour,” added another.

“Ritchie is the perfect choice for Ben Grimm! And Eddie from Stranger Things as Johnny Storm? Let’s go!” The third article has been read. “OMG finally!!! Let’s go!!! A solid cast,” read a fourth comment.

Fantastic Four now confirms that Marvel Studios will have a busy 2025. They will release “Charlie’s Angels” on May 2, 2025, and “Fantastic Four” in the summer of the same year. Meanwhile, Marvel has only released “Deadpool” and “Wolverine” this year. The film starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman will be released on July 26.
