Summary
The rumored cast of Marvel’s Fantastic Four assembles in a new Marvel Cinematic Universe fan poster series. While official updates on Fantastic Four‘s cast have been scarce, the movie’s anticipated lineup should be revealed by the end of the year. That is due to Fantastic Four being set to go before cameras in Early 2024. Lately, the rumor mill surrounding the MCU movie has started making waves once again.
On Instagram, digital artist @bensolo_cup shared their representation of what the latest rumored Fantastic Four cast could look like as Marvel’s First Family and the villain Doctor Doom.
Pedro Pascal appears as Reed Richards, with his arms stretched out.
Vanessa Kirby is the Invisible Woman, Sue Storm.
Stranger Things‘ Joseph Quinn goes blonde as Johnny Storm in a fiery Human Torch fan poster.
The Bear‘s Ebon Moss-Bachrach looks unrecognizable as The Thing.
Mads Mikkelsen appears as Doctor Doom, a role he is one of the fan favorites for.
Pedro Pascal is the newest actor to be connected to Marvel’s Fantastic Four. Recently, multiple reports emerged around Pascal getting cast as Reed Richards in Fantastic Four. While the situation is still far from confirmed, as a contract has yet to be signed, Deadline confirmed that Pascal is in talks with Marvel to join Fantastic Four. Reportedly, the deal hinges on Pascal working out his busy schedule, which includes new seasons of The Mandalorian and The Last of Us, and more.
While Pascal is the only name to come out after the end of the Hollywood strikes for Marvel’s First Family, some actors have been rumored for the roles of Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm for some time. While Emma Stone was allegedly approached by Marvel for the role of Sue Storm, the actress was said to have asked for too much, with the Invisible Woman frontrunner now being The Crown‘s Vanessa Kirby. The Human Torch is rumored to be played by Stranger Things season 4 breakout star Joseph Quinn, while The Bear‘s Richie actor Ebon Moss-Bachrach is rumored to be attached as The Thing.
All three actors are rumored to have been approached by Marvel before the Hollywood strikes. Now, with the end of the strikes, Fantastic Four‘s casting process is bound to ramp up. Pascal’s possible casting was the first major step in that direction, with names like Javier Bardem and Mads Mikkelsen emerging as the rumored favorites for Galactus and Doctor Doom, respectively, though no Hollywood trade or Marvel Studios commented on the names. With filming set to begin at the start of 2024, Marvel fans should expect the Fantastic Four cast to be revealed before the end of the year.
