Pedro Pascal will portray Reed Richards (aka Mr. Fantastic), while Vanessa Kirby plays the role of Sue Storm (aka the Invisible Woman). Sue’s brother Johnny Storm (aka The Human Torch) will be played by Stranger Things‘ Joseph Quinn while The Bear star Ebon Moss-Bachrach plays Ben Grimm (aka the Thing).
Matt Shakman, who helmed the acclaimed Marvel series WandaVision for Disney+ and Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters for Apple TV+, is set to helm the upcoming Fantastic Four film.
Speaking on how Fantastic Four will differ from previous Marvel films, Shakman said in October: “It’s different in so many ways. I wish I could be specific. I wish I could say more. But we are doing things very differently from a story standpoint, from an approach to the filmmaking standpoint, that really fits the material.”

He continued: “I wish I could say more. I would love to, but I can’t. But I think it’s going to be unlike anything you’ve seen before, and certainly unlike anything at Marvel that you’ve seen before.”
Pedro Pascal’s involvement in the film was first teased in November after reports from Deadline Hollywood suggested that the Game Of Thrones and The Last Of Us actor was in talks for the role of Reed Richards.
Marvel’s latest release was the Brie Larson-led film, The Marvels, which arrived in cinemas last year. The film scored a three-star review from NME, with James Mottram writing: “While DaCosta’s Candyman reboot was thrilling, this never musters the same level of engagement, despite a script that is chock full of good lines and a cast of willing participants. More meh than marvel, you might say.”
