The Crown's Vanessa Kirby will be taking on the role of Sue Storm, while Joseph Quinn will play Johnny Storm – AKA the Human Torch. Quinn rose to fame in 2022 with his fan-favorite role as Eddie on season 4 of Stranger Things.

Rounding out the crew is another breakout TV star: Ebon Moss-Bachrach, fresh off his Emmy win for The Bear, who has landed the role of The Thing.

The cast announcement also confirmed that Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four will be hitting theaters on July 25, 2025.

The viral news comes at a crucial time for the superhero cinematic universe, which has been struggling with poorly-reviewed TV shows and films in its fifth phase.

The Fantastic Four – Marvel Comics' first superhero team – has had several tries on the big screen, including an early-2000s run that featured the eventual Captain America, Chris Evans, as well as a remake in 2015 led by Miles Teller and Kate Mara.
