Pedro Pascal recently shared the first cast photo of Marvel's upcoming superhero team, the Fantastic Four. The actor unveiled a behind-the-scenes image of the core cast, signaling the beginning of their journey with the caption 'our first mission.'
The main cast of Fantastic Four includes Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing. Additionally, Julia Garner will portray The Silver Surfer, while Paul Walter Hauser's role remains undisclosed.
Set to hit theaters on July 25, 2025, Fantastic Four is under the direction of Matt Shakman, known for his work on WandaVision. The script for the film is penned by Eric Pearson, Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan, and Ian Springer, with contributions from Peter Cameron of WandaVision.
Marvel's Fantastic Four is a pivotal property within the Marvel Universe. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1961, the team's debut in Fantastic Four No. 1 marked the inception of the interconnected Marvel Universe, which later expanded to include iconic heroes like Spider-Man and Daredevil.
Prior film adaptations of the Fantastic Four franchise include two features directed by Tim Story in the 2000s and a 2015 movie by Josh Trank, which faced significant challenges. Notably, a B-movie version produced by Roger Corman in the 1990s was never officially released.
