Pedro Pascal Shares First Look at Marvel's "The Fantastic Four" Cast

Pedro Pascal took to Instagram on Thursday to unveil a group photo of the core cast of Marvel Studios' highly anticipated film, "The Fantastic Four." The post, captioned "Our first mission together," features Pascal as Reed Richards, also known as Mister Fantastic, alongside Vanessa Kirby, who portrays Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman. The image also includes Ebon Moss-Bachrach, cast as Ben Grimm/the Thing, and Joseph Quinn, who plays Johnny Storm, the Human Torch. Director Matt Shakman joins the ensemble in the photo, signaling the beginning of their collaborative journey. The film is set to explore the dynamics of the iconic superhero team, which has a rich history in comic books, created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The characters have previously appeared in two notable film adaptations, one in 2005 and 2007, and another in 2015, each featuring different casts. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has revealed that this iteration of "The Fantastic Four" will be a period piece set in the 1960s, although he hinted that it may not align with the historical 1960s as we know them. Feige noted that keen observers have already pointed out discrepancies in the film's cityscape, suggesting a unique take on the familiar New York setting. As excitement builds for the film, fans are eager to see how this new version of "The Fantastic Four" will unfold, especially given the franchise's previous cinematic attempts and the legacy of its beloved characters.
