The movie is set to hit theaters July 25, 2025.
Marvel Studios shared the news on X with the message, “Happy Valentine’s Day from Marvel’s First Family!” The post included a fun, retro-type graphic of the four stars as their characters for the first time.
Pascal’s involvement was leaked in November, but the rest of the cast was kept under wraps until now!
This is the Fantastic Four’s first foray into the MCU, as the film rights were previously owned by 20th Century Fox (which is now owned by Disney).
Previous iterations of the characters appeared in “Fantastic Four” and “Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer” in 2005 and 2007 starring Ioan Gruffudd (Reed Richards), Jessica Alba (Sue Storm), Chris Evans (Johnny Storm) and Michael Chiklis (Ben Grimm).
Miles Teller (Reed), Kate Mara (Sue), Michael B. Jordan (Johnny) and Jamie Bell (Ben) stepped into the roles in 2015 for a reboot called “Fantastic Four.”
