This just in-
the First Family of Marvel Comics has some new blood. “Fantastic Four” already has a pretty impressive cast, and the two new names are just as exciting.
John Malkovich (“Billions,” “The New Look“) is playing an undisclosed role in the film, while Ralph Ineson (“Game of Thrones,” “The VVitch“) will be the Devourer of Worlds himself- Galactus.
Pedro Pascal (“The Last of Us,” “The Mandalorian“) will star as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby (“The Crown,” “Mission: Impossible“) as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn (“Stranger Things“) as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (“The Bear“) as Ben Grimm/The Thing. We also know that Julia Garner (“Ozark,” “The Americans“) is playing The Silver Surfer. Paul Walter Hauser (“Blackbird“) was also recently added to the cast, but his role is also being kept underwraps.
Matt Shakman (“WandaVision“) directs from a script by Eric Pearson, Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan, and Ian Springer.
Marvel Studios’ “Fantastic Four” currently has a release date of July 25th, 2025. We’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.
Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
