A new photo has been shared from the set of The Fantastic Four: First Steps featuring a who's who of Marvel Comics talent.
That includes C.B. Cebulski, David Bogart, Tom Brevoort, Alan Davis, Heather Davis, Chip Zdarsky, Dan Slott, Mark Bagley, Matt Fraction, Ryan North, Sara Pichelli, Tom DeFalco, a mix of writers, artists, and editors who have all contributed to the Fantastic Four mythos.
However, the biggest talking point is a new look at Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards and Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm in 1960s-style garb. In the background, we see a couple of blue spacesuits featuring the iconic "4" logo.
Are those what Marvel's First Family wore when they travelled into outer space and acquired their fantastic powers? Whatever the case may be, the design is awesome, especially as the "4" has also been incorporated into the helmets.
"It's quite surreal. I'm loving [Sue]. I love her so much," Kirby previously said of her MCU role. "I love her in the comics, I’m honoured to play her. I love Ebon, Joe, and Pedro. We're having a great time."
Talking about working with Pascal as her on-screen husband, the Mission: Impossible star added, "He's everything. I love him. We're having such a good time. I can't say enough amazing stuff about him."
Something tells us that these two sharing the screen is going to result in absolute magic; Pascal and Kirby are two phenomenal performers and a lot of work must have gone into finding the perfect Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman for the MCU.
Take a closer look at The Fantastic Four: First Steps' Reed and Sue below.
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) later coming on board for a final polish.
The movie is set to be released in theaters on July 25, 2025.
