Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who is set to play Ben Grimm, also known as the Thing, in the upcoming film, recently shared that the cast members have started a group chat initiated by Pedro Pascal.
Moss-Bachrach mentioned that the group chat includes Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, and Joseph Quinn, who are also part of the Marvel Studios project. Despite not being able to distinguish between the numbers representing Kirby and Quinn in the chat, Moss-Bachrach confirmed that everyone in the group has actively participated by sharing images, stickers, and GIFs.
Marvel announced the main cast of The Fantastic Four on Valentine’s Day, revealing the actors as their respective heroes and setting the film's release date for July 25, 2025. The cast includes Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards (Mister Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm (Invisible Woman), Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm (the Thing), and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm (the Human Torch).
