As one Marvel Studios blockbuster storms into theaters this weekend, filming has now commenced on the Marvel Cinematic Universe's future as it's being reported that cameras are now rolling on The Fantastic Four, which opens in theaters exactly one year from today!

To mark the occasion, star Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic) shared the first full cast photo of Marvel's First Family, featuring himself alongside Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm/Invisible Woman), Ebon Ross-Bachrach (Ben Grimm/Thing), and Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm/Human Torch).

While plot details remain scarce, the film will be a period piece set during the 1960s. It's also been heavily hinted that it will be in a different timeline, presumably meaning that the events of the film will not take place in the Sacred Timeline of Earth-616.

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige recently revealed, "It is a period film, and there was another piece of art we released with Johnny Storm flying in the air making a 4 symbol. There was a cityscape in that image. There were a lot of smart people who noticed that that cityscape didn’t look exactly like the New York that we know or the New York that existed in the 60s in our world. Those are smart observations, I’ll say...

Matt Shakman (WandaVision; Game of ThronesIt's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) is helming the upcoming feature, with a screenplay from Josh Friedman, Cameron Squires, Eric Pearson, and Peter Cameron. Kevin Feige is onboard as the producer, alongside Grant Curtis, Nick Pepin, and Jamie Christopher.

In addition to the titular foursome, the film will also star Julia Garner (Shalla-Bal/Silver Surfer), Ralph Ineson (Galactus), Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne, and an undisclosed actor voicing H.E.R.B.I.E.

Even though filming has just gotten underway, the film's four leading stars are all expected to make an apperance during Marvel Studios' Hall H presentation on Saturday night. As for what they'll reveal, well, that's anyone's guess at the moment, but we'd imagine whatever it is, it'll be of the epic variety. 

The presentation is expected to be heavily focused on the films, so it's likely we'll get new looks at Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts, although we wouldn't rule out updates on Agatha All Along, Daredevil: Born Again, and other Disney+ titles, although all eyes will likely be on the end of the presentation as many are hopeful we'll get some clarity on the future Phase Six slate, namely on the status of Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars.  

The Fantastic Four hits theaters on July 25, 2025!

@dragon316 - The 'stache is everywhere. Come to think of it, Ethan Hawke would have been a great Reed.

5th times the charm

hopefully Incredibles 1 and 2 will no longer be the best fantastic four movies
FireandBlood

@dracula - Incredibles 1 will always be the best Fantastic Four movie, c’mon

@dracula - I was about to denounce Incredibles II given how thoroughly underwhelming it was... but then I remembered both attempts at the Fantastic Four and realized you were right on the money.

@FireandBlood - can't tell.if your being sarcastic or not but if not i 100% agree. That movie was perfect in everyway

@dracula - they never released the Roger Corman one so technically 4th times the charm.

@FireandBlood - my man! if the MCU F4 can be anything remotely close to The Incredibles, we'll be lucky and in good shape.

Incredibles 2 wasnt as great but still an amazing movie... imo

Hope it does well, I'd like to see more period piece MCU films ala First Avenger.
The1st
The1st - 7/25/2024, 5:13 PM
@ModHaterSLADE - Yeah, D+ doesn't seem to know when to actually do streaming at times I feel. Howling Commandos would be great for D+
ModHaterSLADE
ModHaterSLADE - 7/25/2024, 8:31 PM
@The1st - That feels like a no brainer given how crucial they were in First Avenger.
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 7/26/2024, 7:36 AM
@The1st - I would love a rebooted Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos show. [frick] that would be good. Just straight up adapt the comics stories.

Gary Friedich's "The" stories alone would make the single greatest season of television.
RockerTodd
RockerTodd - 7/26/2024, 11:05 AM
@The1st - That and a D+ Captain America and the Invaders show, set in the same continuity.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 7/25/2024, 2:53 PM
Sweet!!.

Also I feel like I can really buy Vanessa and Joseph as siblings since I think they have similar features…

If John Malkovich is playing their dad Franklin Storm then it would feel even more authentic imo!!.

John Malkovitch in the MCU? GTFO!

I know. I am just jazzed that another A Lister is going to be putting on a costume.

Apophis71 - 7/25/2024, 3:46 PM
@Goldboink - Still unclear who he is playing, seems most think Puppet Master and the film will also include his adopted daughter Alicia Masters as a love interest for Ben

@GeneralZod - That has nothing to do with what I said in meaning. LORD willing, hurts nothing and no one to cast a jewish actor (which are out there and accomplished), all by itself.

Marvel has some momentum again! Good to see. The weekend box office and comic con this weekend is going to do wonders...

Feige right now!

Not Reed and not Johnny. On the fence about Vanessa Kirby, although she is a heullvan actress.
HermanM

@GeneralZod - not Ben either. Ben is a jock. This guy is a nerd.
GeneralZod
GeneralZod - 7/25/2024, 3:21 PM
@HermanM - Yeah, i would have preferred a Robert Mitchum-type tough guy, but he is in the ballpark.
SuperiorHeckler
SuperiorHeckler - 7/25/2024, 3:44 PM
@HermanM - Assuming he is the CGI Thing for 70% of his film-time, I don't think his "human persona" becomes terribly relevant. 🤨
HermanM
HermanM - 7/25/2024, 5:15 PM
@SuperiorHeckler - wrong. Part of The tragedy of The Thing is that he was once a dashing hunk before the cosmic accident. No live action version has really captured that yet outside of the 1994 film.

@GeneralZod - She's heullvan? I thought she was white.
