The cast for the Fantastic Four has been confirmed: How much does Marvel Studios love its characters? Let’s count: four, that’s the number. As a special Valentine’s Day treat, the studio has finally revealed who will play the Fantastic Four – after lots of rumors and guessing, we now know the official cast. According to reports, Pedro Pascal will play Reed Richards, also known as Mr. Fantastic, with Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, or the Invisible Woman. Joining them is Joseph Quinn from Stranger Things 4 as Johnny Storm, or the Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing, or Ben Grimm. Let’s celebrate!
Marvel also shared a cool picture showing the four characters in their famous blue outfits – and they confirmed the movie’s title will be The Fantastic Four.

What’s really interesting is the old-fashioned style in the picture – could this mean the movie will be set in the 1960s like the original comics? It sure looks like it. Will H.E.R.B.I.E. the robot be in the movie? And will Sue Storm share her Valentine’s Day chocolates? We’ll have to wait and see. If you look closely at the picture, you’ll see a drawing of Ben Grimm as a human, getting ready for the space trip that turns them into superheroes. Matt Shakman, who directed WandaVision, will be in charge of this movie.
