Pedro Pascal to headline Fantastic 4 movie

After months of speculation, Disney has finally unveiled the cast of its upcoming Fantastic Four movie, with The Last of Us Emmy nominee Pedro Pascal confirmed to star as the group’s stretchy leader Reed Richards, a.k.a. Mr. Fantastic.

Also confirmed are Mission: Impossible star Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Stranger Things knockout Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and The Bear's Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/the Thing.

Marvel shared the news with an appropriately retro Valentine's Day image, nodding to the group's 1960s origin.

The art also features a first look at H.E.R.B.I.E., the Fantastic Four's longtime robot companion from the comics.

Marvel’s new Fantastic Four movie was previously set to hit theaters on May 2, 2025, but now it has been bumped to July 25, 2025, swapping dates with Marvel's Thunderbolts.
