Marvel has announced the official casting for The Fantastic Four – and we are screaming.
The official Marvel Twitter accountposted a Valentine’s Day card with the caption, “Happy Valentine’s Day from Marvel’s First Family! Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn are The Fantastic Four.”
The card depicts all four actors in their respective roles, with Pascal as Reed Richards a.k.a Mr. Fantastic, Kirby as Susan ‘Sue’ Storm Richards a.k.a Invisible Woman, Moss-Bachrach as Benjamin ‘Ben’ Grimm a.k.a The Thing, and Quinn as Johnny Storm a.k.a The Human Torch. H.E.R.B.IE, a robot built by Reed himself, is also present in the pic. Sheesh! And if that wasn’t enough, the logo and illustration give weight to those rumors about the film’s 1960s setting. See for yourself below.
Previous casting rumors includedJodie Comer as Sue andJack Quaidas The Human Torch. Pascal was all but confirmed as Mr. Fantastic last year, but has kept tight-lipped on the casting (even sidestepping a question about it at a recent Q&A).
The upcoming film will introduce the Fantastic Four into the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the very first time as part ofMarvel Phase 6. WandaVision’s Matt Shakman is set to direct.
