All the Details on the Upcoming MCU ‘Fantastic Four’ Reboot

Marvel Comics introduced the Fantastic Four, their first superhero team, in 1961, created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Despite the success of other superhero teams in the MCU, the Fantastic Four had been conspicuously absent. The tide turned with the announcement of the 2025 film “Fantastic Four,” directed by Matt Shakman (“WandaVision”) and written by Josh Friedman (“Avatar: The Way of Water”) and Jeff Kaplan (“The Last of the Great Romantics”).

The Fantastic Four’s cinematic history has been challenging, including an unreleased 1994 adaptation and poorly received films in 2005 and 2007, as well as a troubled 2015 reboot. With the upcoming “Fantastic Four” under Shakman entering production in 2024, here’s an overview of the film’s details, production dates, and the rumored cast.

Plot Overview: While specific plot details are scarce due to Marvel’s secrecy, the film will reintroduce the crime-fighting team: Dr. Reed Richards (Mister Fantastic), Sue Storm (Invisible Woman), Johnny Storm (Human Torch), and Ben Grimm (The Thing). Unlike other superhero teams, they are a family, and the film will not retell their origin story.

Kevin Feige emphasized bringing something new to the familiar characters. The film will not revisit the team’s beginnings but explore uncharted territory, similar to how Spider-Man was introduced in the MCU.

Jon Watts, initially attached to direct, stepped away in 2022, with Matt Shakman taking over the role later.

Cast Rumors: The casting for “Fantastic Four” has become a major topic of speculation. Pedro Pascal is in negotiations for the role of Reed Richards. Vanessa Kirby is rumored for Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn for Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach for Ben Grimm. Antonio Banderas is speculated to play the villainous Galactus.

While these casting choices are not confirmed by Marvel, the internet is abuzz with speculation. Fans anticipate the introduction of Doctor Doom, with Mads Mikkelsen rumored for the role. Other potential adversaries include Mole Man, Terrax, and Annihilus.

As production progresses, more details about “Fantastic Four” are expected to emerge, and fans eagerly await the next chapter in Marvel’s cinematic universe.
