We are really, truly, ridiculously excited to welcome the First Family of Marvel Comics into the MCU. Especially with this casting. Pedro Pascal (“The Last of Us“) plays Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby (“The Crown,” “Mission: Impossible“) is Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn (“Stranger Things,” “Gladiator II“) is Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (“The Bear“) is Ben Grimm/The Thing. Julia Garner (“Ozark,” “The Americans“) is playing Shalla Bal/The Silver Surfer. Paul Walter Hauser (“Blackbird“) was also added to the cast, but his role is also being kept underwraps. John Malkovich (“Billions,” “The New Look“) is playing an undisclosed role in the film, and Ralph Ineson (“Game of Thrones,” “The VVitch“) will be the Devourer of Worlds himself- Galactus.
Entertainment Weekly just unveiled their special “Fantastic Four: First Steps” cover with a short video and several new images.






If you are as excited as we are, you should absolutely read EW’s deep dive into the upcoming film.
“The Fantastic Four: First Steps” is set to hit theaters July 25th, 2025.
