Marvel's Fantastic Four Cast Unites In New Photo

As a long-time comic book fan and follower of the Fantastic Four, I couldn’t contain my excitement when Pedro Pascal shared the first photo of the main cast together for Marvel’s upcoming adaptation. The anticipation is palpable as we gear up for principal photography to begin this week.


Over the Comic Con weekend in San Diego, the cast of Fantastic Four is working overseas. Star Pedro Pascal, set to portray Reed Richards in the MCU’s long-anticipated introduction of Marvel’s original family, shared two images on social media last night, offering fans their initial glimpse of the principal actors united (alongside director Matt Shakman preparing). Labeling the photo as “our first mission,” Pascal unveiled a picture featuring himself alongside co-stars Vanessa Kirby (as Sue Storm), Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben Grimm).

As a film enthusiast with years of experience following the industry, I’m thrilled to share that principal photography is about to start on yet another highly-anticipated movie this week. Based on insider information and Pascal’s recent social media update, we can expect its release on July 25, 2025 – an intriguing timing, just two weeks after James Gunn’s Superman graces the silver screens. This dynamic scheduling indicates a strong competitive strategy from producers, aiming to maximize audience engagement and box office revenue. The anticipation is palpable!

As a long-time comic book enthusiast and avid fan of Marvel Comics, I must admit that this behind-the-scenes photograph is a breath of fresh air. Having grown up reading the adventures of the Fantastic Four, I’ve seen countless stylized and retro-futuristic representations of my beloved superhero team. But this image feels different.

The initial backdrop for “Fantastic Four” comics, where the story began, significantly influenced their early plots. Reed Richards and his team were portrayed as famous scientists in these stories. If “Fantastic Four” chooses to be a period piece, some fans may ponder if Johnny has any connection to the Torch from the Golden Age, who made a brief appearance in “Captain America: The First Avenger.” In the original comics, however, the two characters are not related.

As an avid Marvel fan, I’m thrilled to share that the Fantastic Four is rumored to make an appearance at the Marvel Studios panel in San Diego this coming Saturday. Although production hasn’t started yet, the concept artists have been putting in long hours to bring this iconic superhero team to life on the big screen. With such a massive and recognizable brand under its belt, it’s clear that Marvel sees Fantastic Four and any upcoming X-Men projects as crucial to the studio’s future triumphs. However, given the history of disappointing adaptations for these franchises, there’s undeniable pressure to get it right this time around.

I’ve been following the buzz around the latest Deadpool and Wolverine photos circulating online, which apparently feature Michael Chiklis as The Thing. But let me clear things up from my gamer perspective – I wasn’t there, and I don’t have insider info on that set. However, I do know who’s taking over the role in Shakman’s upcoming movie. Exciting times ahead! With preview screenings tonight and the official release hitting theaters tomorrow.
