Marvel Studios is quickly putting together a cast to lead their live-action Fantastic Four adaptation. Many fans have been anxious to see how the film turns out. After all, this is one of their most important acquisitions from Fox and one of the most popular superhero teams in Marvel Comics.
As such, it’s quite important that they figure out the perfect cast to lead this new branch of the MCU. Especially when considering the mixed-to-negative responses that previous adaptations have generated. Now, according to insider @deuxmoiworld on X, we may know the finalized cast for the Fantastic Four.
It was previously reported that The Mandalorian and The Last of Us actor Pedro Pascal received the role of Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic. Now, according to this insider, we know who we can possibly expect to see acting alongside him.
Here’s what was shared as reiterated by @CineGeekNews:
“The cast of ‘FANTASTIC FOUR’ has reportedly been finalized!”
The post continues:
“Vanessa Kirby and Pedro Pascal have finally signed on to the project, the other 2 are rumored to be played by Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn.”

With Pascal as Reed Richards and Kirby presumably playing Susan Storm, then it’s likely that Moss-Bachrach will play Benjamin Grimm with Quinn as Susan Storm’s brother, Johnny Storm. Together they make Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Thing, and the Human Torch, respectively.
Of course, this information should still be taken with a grain of salt. At the time of this writing, Marvel Studios has yet to officially confirm the film’s cast themselves. Though this would certainly be an interesting cast to see lead the project.
The film is currently scheduled to hit theaters next year on May 2, 2025. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding the MCU’s live-action Fantastic Four movie as we have them.
Hopefully we’ll have more concrete details soon regarding this alleged cast and whether or not these will be the finalized actors to portray the beloved superhero team.
