And from this moment on, the world will never again be the same!

Variety is reporting that Marvel Studios has officially announced the cast for The Fantastic Four, the upcoming 2025 film based on the Marvel Comics superteam. It's now confirmed that the film will star Pedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic/Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as The Invisible Woman/Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as The Human Torch/Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing/Ben Grimm.

Created in 1961 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the Fantastic Four first appeared in Fantastic Four (vol.1) #1 as a group who gained superpowers after exposure to cosmic rays during a scientific mission to outer space. Mister Fantastic, a scientific genius and the leader of the team, can stretch his body into incredible lengths and shapes. The Invisible Woman, Reed's girlfriend and later wife, can render herself invisible and project powerful invisible force fields and blasts. The Human Torch, Sue's younger brother, can generate flames, surround himself with them, and fly. The Thing, Reed's college roommate and skilled pilot for the mission, possesses tremendous superhuman strength, durability and endurance with monstrous, stone-like flesh.

Matt Shakman, best known for Marvel's WandaVision as well as episodes of Game of Thrones and The Boys, will direct The Fantastic Four from a screenplay by Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer. Filming is expected to begin in London by the summer. In addition, Marvel Studios posted the following artwork on X/Twitter, hinting at the FF's uniform designs and potentially a setting of, say, 1961?
