Fantastic Four MCU cast revealed, with Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm
Marvel Studios has finally revealed the cast of its new Fantastic Four movie.
The Last of Us’ Pedro Pascal will lead the cast as Reed Richards, aka the stretchy Mister Fantastic; Vanessa Kirby (Mission Impossible: Fallout) will be the forcefield-manifesting, light-warping Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman; Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things) stars as Johnny “Human Torch” Storm; and The Bear’s Ebon Moss-Bachrach will embody the Thing, aka Ben Grimm. There’s no word yet on who will oppose Marvel’s first family, but whoever the villain ends up being it’s sure to be one of the biggest threats in the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far.

The card has hallmarks of retro-future design, including an old almost Jetsons-like robot serving Ben his morning coffee — presumably the FF’s recurring helperbot, HERBIE (Humanoid Experimental Robot, B-type, Integrated Electronics).
Happy Valentine’s Day from Marvel’s First Family! Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn are The Fantastic Four.

Pascal previously worked in the DC Extended Universe, portraying villain Maxwell Lord in Wonder Woman 1984.
Fantastic Four, the fourth live-action attempt to bring Marvel’s first family to movie screens, will be directed by Matt Shakman, who previously helmed all nine episodes of Disney Plus’ WandaVision. From dramas (Game of Thrones, House, Mad Men) to comedy (You’re the Worst, Psych, Chil
