Her portrayal of Sue Storm is sure to be captivating.
Ebon Moss-Bachrach, recognized for his role in The Bear, will be stepping into the shoes (or rather, the rocky exterior) of Ben Grimm, also known as the Thing. Moss-Bachrach's unique talent and ability to embody complex characters make him an excellent choice for this role. Fans can expect a nuanced and memorable performance from him.
Lastly, Joseph Quinn, widely known for his role in Stranger Things, will be taking on the role of Johnny Storm, also known as the Human Torch.

However, this new cast promises to bring a fresh perspective and unique chemistry to these beloved characters.
With Marvel Studios now owning the rights to the Fantastic Four characters, they have the opportunity to incorporate the superhero team into their interconnected Marvel Cinematic Universe. This means that fans can anticipate exciting crossovers and collaborations with other beloved Avengers heroes in future films and television shows.
Directed by Matt Shakman, known for his work on the critically acclaimed series WandaVision, The Fantastic Four is set to usher in a new era for these beloved characters.
