THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Cast Shares Video Message At D23 As The Team's Costumes Are Revealed

Marvel Studios brought a message from the cast of The Fantastic Four: First Steps to D23 and it features a first look at the costumes which will be worn by Marvel's First Family in the upcoming reboot.

Only Joseph Quinn's Johnny Storm is suited up, but we get a great look at how the design has evolved since the concept art teaser dropped. It's a cool design, and while we'd imagine this is just one of at least a couple of costumes the team wears, it's hard to find fault with the 1960s-inspired aesthetic (especially with that iconic logo front and centre).

As best we can tell, Pedro Pascal is also in costume; however, he's in clothing that's appropriate for The Fantastic Four: First Steps' setting rather than a superhero uniform. 

Back to Quinn, though, and it seems he's wearing a blonde wig as Johnny to bring the hotheaded superhero more in line with his comic book counterpart.

"He's an inherently funny man," the actor recently said of The Thing actor Ebon Moss-Bachrach. "We will have a period of rehearsals, which will be an opportunity for us all to work on the specific dynamics between the four and beyond."

"I'm very excited at the prospect of working with Ebon. I think he's amazing, and will definitely bring something very unique to his role; the dynamic is the thing that is the most important aspect of these four characters," he continued. "I couldn't think of another three actors that could being as much vigor and life to these other characters, and I'll do my best to do the same."

Check out this new look at The Fantastic Four: First Steps cast below.

Marvel Studios has announced that Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm/Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm/Human Torch), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben Grimm/The Thing) will lead The Fantastic Four: First Steps cast.

We'll also see Ralph Ineson as Galactus, Julia Garner as Shalla-Bal/Silver Surfer, and Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, and Natasha Lyonne in mystery roles. The story sees Galactus and Silver Surfer target Earth for destruction. 

Director Matt Shakman worked with both Avatar: The Way of Water co-writer Josh Friedman and WandaVision's Cam Squires on The Fantastic Four: First Steps' screenplay, with Eric Pearson (Black Widow) recently coming on board for a final polish.

The movie is set to be released in theaters on July 25, 2025.

Pedro looks nothing like Reed but I hope his acting can sell it.

I know we shouldn’t judge people by looks but come on 😭 these are comic book characters.
Johnny is supposed to be this blonde hunky bimbo with a big heart. And hot head.


I’m sure Joseph Quinn is a nice and cool guy and he’s a good actor, but that dye job is awful and he doesn’t look the part at all.

Same with Pedro. But oh well 😞

@TwatSheSaid -

I agree with you, all miscast except for Vanessa Kirby.

But judging from the leaked teaser , Pedro is not convincing me with his acting at all.

Looks like he’s doing an imitation of someone else I just can’t put my finger on whom.

@MisterDoctor217 - deleted wrong message but yes Vanessa is the only good cast member everyone else rings hollow

Also Pedro is looking more like Walt Disney than Reed Richards to be honest.

Holy hell that costume is trash. Just when I started to have hope. Hopefully it's not the official one.

Pedro just needs to shave but he's going to do a great job with the personality of Reed.

Ebon Moss Baruch is the worst casting of the bunch and has the personality of a wet blanket and even looks out of place with the cast here.

@HermanM - I'll bet the Kent farm Ebon Moss proves you wrong.... And the property next door.

Superman or fantastic four who has the better suit? Both aren't the greatest. For me I would say Superman looks a little better than this

Ugh, they hired the wrong actor from Stranger Things to play Johnny.

@RitoRevolto - I don't see any from that show as Johnny tbh, still hopes Joseph proves me wrong

Dacre Montgomery would have been miles better tbh
Even tho I do think there are better options

@RitoRevolto - he's good actor though I think he will play the part well. Dyed hair was a good move & Suit looks really good. This will be a hit!

Too much white on the suit! Come on the F4 should be one of the easiest costumes to adapt.

Maybe that suit will grow on me. But it was nice to get a message from the cast as they've started shooting.

Johnny looks pretty terrible, Reed is a complete miscast and they’re gonna have a female Silver Surfer.

Lots of time for this to turn out well, but initial impressions are rough.

@MuadDib - I really dig the retro suit with the white. If we can get rid of his damned moustache he would look solid as Reed and Ebon Moss will kill it as Ben I have zero doubts. He's arguably the best actor in the Bear.

@McMurdo - I actually have no issue with the actor for Thing, I think he could work out well. I also like the retro vibe, but hope the costumes look better than they do in the pictures in the article above. As for Pedro, the stache definitely has to go. I think he’s a decent actor, and he may be able to pull it off, but I’m not sold yet. Sue looks like Sue and the actor for Johnny has some skills, liked his work in the new Quiet Place movie. There’s a lot riding on this movie, and unfortunately I don’t have full faith in Disney lately. Only time will tell

To me this looks like crap.

I also don't need the 60s setting (1963 if it's comic book accurate) for more than 45 minutes.
If this would have been in the 616 universe with Howard Stark, Peggy Carter, Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne, i could stomach an entire movie, but in an alternate universe i don't need it.
I want them to interact with mcu characters and i am not sure i will accept alternate F4 from another reality.

It’s decent , maybe it’ll grow on me more…

It certainly does fit the retro aesthetic though so that’s good!!
