Marvel's forthcoming Fantastic Four film has revealed its official title. During Marvel Studios' highly anticipated panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday, the movie's title was announced as Fantastic Four: First Steps. The film is set to hit theaters on July 25, 2025, and will be directed by Matt Shakman, known for his work on WandaVision.
The cast of the new Fantastic Four movie includes Pedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as the Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing. John Malkovich and Paul Walter Hauser are also set to appear in the film.
Michael Giacchino, the Oscar-winning composer for his work on Up, has been announced as the composer for Fantastic Four: First Steps. The screenplay for the movie has been written by Eric Pearson, Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan, and Ian Springer, with additional work by Peter Cameron from WandaVision.
The Fantastic Four team, which originated in Marvel Comics in 1961, is making its debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe following Disney's acquisition of Fox. The film marks a new take on the classic superhero group, with high expectations from fans and critics alike.
This latest adaptation of the Fantastic Four comes after previous attempts to bring the team to the big screen. The 2005 film directed by Tim Story and the 2015 reboot by Josh Trank both faced mixed reviews and varying degrees of box office success.
With a talented cast, an acclaimed composer, and a seasoned director at the helm, Fantastic Four: First Steps is poised to bring a fresh perspective to the beloved superhero team when it hits theaters in 2025.
