Release date, cast, plot and more about “Fantastic Four”

It took a long time, but the Fantastic Four The film is shaping up to be a pretty amazing movie. Earlier this year, it was announced that the team was fully cast, led by Reed Richards, and fans were immediately excited to see what was to come in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Before the San Diego Comic-Con we knew The Fantastic Four: First Steps was incredibly limited. Now we have a setting, a date and an idea of ​​what the film will bring us. Classic Fantastic Four vibe? I'm happy with that!

So let’s see what we know about Marvel Studios’ new movie!

What do we know about the plot so far?

Right now, we don't know anything beyond the 1960s setting. We only have director Matt Shakman talking about how different this interpretation of the team is. “It's different in so many ways,” Shakman said Collider. “I wish I could be more specific. I wish I could say more. But we do things very differently from a story standpoint, from a filmmaking standpoint, which Really fits the material.”

He continued, “I think it's going to be unlike anything you've seen before, and certainly unlike anything you've seen from Marvel before.” I saw the footage at SDCC and it looks absolutely incredible. And that's what they shot, so we got a “feel” for the film!

So we may not know much, but we at least know that Shakman has some plans for us – and after that his work on WandaVisionI trust him!

Who are our Fantastic Four?

This is a very fun way to announce the cast! Especially since fans have been eagerly awaiting who will be playing some of our favorite roles.

The cast includes Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm!

How long do we have to wait?

With the announcement of the cast came the news that we still have one a little The wait is upon us. The film is set to hit theaters on July 25, 2025. So, since it's still a year and a half until we see the Fantastic Four in action, we can at least speculate on the energy with which they will all fulfill their respective roles!
