Pedro Pascal And A ‘Bear’ Cast Member Star In ‘Fantastic Four’
Love is in the air at Marvel. The comic book studio unveiled their long-awaited cast for the new Fantastic Four on Valentine’s Day (February 14). As Marvel casually made the announcement on social media, they shared a retro illustrated photo of the cast in their uniforms celebrating Valentine’s Day. As “Marvel’s First Family,” the Fantastic Four were the first characters created for Marvel Comics in 1961 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Also featured in the image is The Bear‘s Ebon Moss-Bachrach in a painting behind the Thing as an astronaut. He is fittingly going to play the character, whose real name is Ben Grimm. Moss-Bachrach recently won an Emmy for his supporting role in The Bear as hot-headed Richie. This isn’t the first time the actor has starred in a Marvel production. He played the role of David Lieberman in the first season of The Punisher. He also played Arvel Skeen in the Star Wars prequel series Andor in 2022.

Next to The Thing is Joseph Quinn, who will play Johnny Storm (aka the Human Torch). Quinn famously played Eddie Munson in the fourth season of Stranger Things. Sitting on a chair with her arms raised is Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm (aka the Invisible Woman). Kirby is no stranger to action movies, as she’s starred in the latest Mission: Impossible movies as The White Widow and Hobbs & Shaw. Finally, the fourth and final member of the new Fantastic Four is the zaddy of all zaddies himself: Pedro Pascal. The Last of Us star will play the role of Reed Richards (aka Mr. Fantastic).
The Fantastic Four will release in theaters on July 25, 2025. Thunderbolts originally had that release date but will now come out on May 2 of next year. Also set for release in 2025 are Captain America: Brave New World in February and Blade in November.
