Pedro Pascal posted the first behind-the-scenes image of Marvel’s upcoming Fantastic Four film, writing “Our first mission” as a caption.
Fantastic Four sees Pascal as Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm (The Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm (The Human Torch), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm (The Thing).
The release date is planned for July 25, 2025, directed by Matt Shakman and scripted by Eric Pearson, Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan, and Ian Springer. On “The Official Marvel Podcast,” it has been revealed that the movie will be set in the 1960s in New York City.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Joseph Quinn admitted the importance of getting the story right and making the audience emotionally invested in the characters and their journeys. “Superhero movies are movies about people … if we’re invested in the people and the characters and the peril and the spectacle, then that’s why people go to the theaters to watch films. We’re not just in a penny; we’re in for a pound with this one. We’re going to go for it.”
