As a Valentine’s Day gift to fans, Marvel has finally announced its cast members for The Fantastic Four. In a social media post on Wednesday, Marvel Studios unveiled the star-studded cast in a Valentine’s card. As part of its cast announcement, the release date for the film was swapped with anti-hero-centric Thunderbolts, which is now set to premiere next year on May 2. Here’s what we know so far:
Marvel unveils Fantastic Four cast members
The superhero quartet, created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby for Marvel Studios, will be portrayed by: Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards (aka Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm (aka the Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm (aka the Human Torch) and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm (aka the Thing), the studio revealed in the social media post.
Marvel’s The Fantastic Four release date
Shortly after the cast announcement by Marvel Studios, Disney unveiled the release date for Fantastic Four. The Pedro Pascal-starrer action film is scheduled to be released on July 25, 2025. Previously, the film was slated for a May release. However, its premiere date has now been swapped with Thunderbolts.
What is The Fantastic Four about?
While most of the details about the film are currently kept under wraps. Last year, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige described Fantastic Four as “a big pillar for MCU,” per Entertainment Weekly.
“Fantastic Four is the foundation for everything that came after in the comics. There’s certainly been versions of it [on screen], but never inhabiting the storytelling of the MCU. And that’s something that is really exciting for us,” Feige told the outlet.
“People will start to hear more about that soon. We plan on that being a big pillar of the MCU going forward, just the way they’ve been in the comics for 50 or 60 years,” Feige added.
