After a whirlwind of speculation and whispers in dark corners of the internet, the curtain has finally been lifted. Drumroll, please… The new Fantastic Four have been announced, and it’s like Christmas came early (or very late, depending on how you look at it).
Meet Your New Fantastic Four
- Pedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic
- Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm
- Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm
- Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing
That’s right, folks! The dashing Pedro Pascal, known for his roles in “The Mandalorian” and “Game of Thrones,” is set to stretch into the role of Mr. Fantastic. Meanwhile, the elegant Vanessa Kirby, stealing scenes – and hearts – in “The Crown,” will illuminate the screen as Sue Storm.
Bringing the heat as Johnny Storm is Joseph Quinn, whose performance in “Stranger Things” had everyone buzzing. And let’s not forget Ebon Moss-Bachrach, whose transformative role as The Thing promises to rock our world, literally.
All jokes aside, this cast looks like it’s set to dazzle us on screen, bringing a fresh take on Marvel’s first family. The movie is slated for release on July 25, 2025, giving us just enough time to emotionally prepare ourselves.

Marvel fans have been tossing and turning in their beds, their dreams filled with casting possibilities for the Fantastic Four reboot. And now that the cat’s (or should I say, the Fantastic Four’s?) out of the bag, the reactions are, as expected, all over the spectrum.
Some are over the moon with the choices, particularly lauding Vanessa Kirby’s casting as Sue Storm. Seriously, the internet is convinced she’s about to serve looks and powerful performances in equal measure. There are heart emojis and exclamation points as far as the Twitter feed can scroll, people!
However, not everyone’s cracking open the champagne. A few skeptical souls are clutching their 2005 DVDs like precious gems, unsure if the new cast can live up to the iconic roles. Most notably, some worry about Pedro Pascal filling the shoes—er, stretchy pants—of Mr. Fantastic. But if there’s one thing Pascal knows how to do, it’s charm his way into fans’ hearts, so let’s give it a moment, shall we?
