Marvel: Pedro Pascal Confirmed to Lead Fantastic 4! The entire composition of the team!

Marvel Studios waited until February 14th, Valentine’s Day, to announce the full Fantastic Four lineup! The MCU-branded version will be directed by Matt Shakman, director of the WandaVision episodes. Currently in pre-production, the feature film will hit theaters on July 23, 2025.

All good team!

Pedro Pascal, star of The Last of Us and The Mandalorian series, will play the leader of the Fantastic 4 team: Reed Richards. Vanessa Kirby will play the role of the invisible woman, Sue Storm. On the other hand, Joseph Quinn, who was revealed in Stranger Things Season 4, will play Johnny Storm, as well as The Human Torch. And finally, Ebon Mos-Bachrach, seen in Andor and the Bear, will be Ben Grimm (something).

La Maison des Idées announced the news by sharing vintage posters on social media, suggesting that the film will be set in the 50s or 60s. Anyway, the rumors of these 4 names being mentioned were very real. Adam Driver and Javier Bardem were also mentioned in the rumours.

Penn Badgley, Matt Smith, John David Washington and John Cho would all be in front of Marvel Studios big man Kevin Feige before he turned his attention to Pedro Pascal. While he waits for his Reed Richards costume, the actor will head to the Roman arenas in Gladiator 2.

The actor recently starred in the sequel to the classic alongside Russell Crowe. From now on, he will have to juggle his busy schedule, especially with The Last of Us Season 2. Will this MCU reboot make people forget Josh Trank’s Fantastic 4 industrial accident? Answered July 23, 2025.
