Pedro Pascal has shared the first behind-the-scenes photo of the new “Fantastic Four” cast, marking the beginning of their journey as Marvel’s iconic superhero team. In the Instagram post, Pascal, who will play Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, is joined by Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm/Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm/Human Torch), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben Grimm/The Thing).
The cast also includes Julia Garner as the Silver Surfer, Ralph Ineson as Galactus, and Paul Walter Hauser in a yet undisclosed role. This upcoming Marvel Studios film, set in an alternate 1960s universe, is being directed by Matt Shakman and is scheduled to start filming immediately after Comic-Con at the end of July. The film’s release date is set for July 25, 2025.
Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige revealed that the film would feature a 1960s aesthetic, as hinted at by promotional artwork showing Johnny Storm in a vintage cityscape.
The “Fantastic Four” cast will make an appearance at Comic-Con and Feige noted that the film will start filming right after that engagement. The Fantastic Four is set to release on July 25, 2025.
Our director, Matt Shakman has already moved to London, and we start filming at the end of July. Funny story, we start shooting the Monday after Comic-Con. We start filming the day after on Fantastic Four.
I’m extremely excited because those characters are mainstays, are legendary pillars of the Marvel Universe that we’ve never gotten to play with or explore in any significant way apart from [Doctor Strange in the] Multiverse of Madness and a few fun teases before, in the way we’re doing that film. So, I’m extremely excited.
Kevin Fiege
