It seems The Fantastic Four: First Steps has taken a break from filming, with star Vanessa Kirby attending the Toronto International Film Festival to promote her new film, Ron Howard's Eden, which also stars Ana de Armas and Sydney Sweeney.

The Mission: Impossible actress - who will play Sue Storm/Invisible Woman in the Marvel Studios reboot - was asked for an update on production on the red carpet of the Eden world premiere, and while she didn't share anything particularly exciting, it sounds like things are going very well and "Marvel's First Family" are all getting on as well as one would hope.

“We love each other so much. I’ve been away from them for two days and I miss them," said Kirby. "We’re having such great time together. I’m really hopeful for the movie and Matt Shakman is amazing and Pedro [Pascal] is heavenly.”

Though quite a few set photos and videos have leaked, Marvel has done a great job of keeping the main cast members away from the cameras, and we've yet to see any of the heroes suited-up (though we did get a glimpse of a stand-in wearing a practical Thing suit). Maybe some more revealing shots will find their way online when shooting resumes.

Check out Kirby's interview below along with some photos and a new FFFS fan-poster.

Pedro Pascal (Game of Thrones, The Last of Us), will play Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic, Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things, A Quiet Place Day One), will "flame on" as Johnny Storm, aka The Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Punisher, The Bear), will play Ben Grimm, aka the Thing. 

Julia Garner will debut as the Shala-Bal version of the Silver Surfer, while Galactus has also been confirmed as the main villain, and will be played by Ralph Ineson (The Witch, Game of Thrones). Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, and Natasha Lyonne have also been cast in undisclosed roles.

Kevin Feige recently confirmed that the movie will take place in an alternate universe, but we know that Marvel's First Family will appear in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, so we wouldn't be surprised if they find their way into the main MCU timeline by the end of this movie.

Matt Shakman directs The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which is set to hit theaters on July 25, 2025.

No doubt the four of them especially are having a blast. Like the original Avengers or the Guardians of the Galaxy, getting to have that special close-knit group is special and unique to them, even in the ever massive MCU. Plus they're the Fantastic Four... enough said.

I honestly can’t make my mind up on whether this is going to sink or swim. Some of the casting is good some it terrible. Pedro is certainly no Reed Richards for example, whilst I think Vanessa will make a great Sue Storm. Female Surfer, not for me really especially after the last attempt was so good, I’d rather have had Laurence Fishburne voice him again. Galactus, not sure about this although with the Celestials being introduced in the Eternals there is a great opportunity to tie some of that together. If it were me I’d certainly take that option and use a few characters from the movie to reinforce its part in the MCU. I’d also like to see a connection to Agatha Harkness in there somewhere too, maybe towards the end as a potential nanny?

@Spike101 - yeah I love Kathryn Hahn and I'd love to see Agatha develop to the point where she can be the F4s nanny in the second or third movie.

@Spike101 - thank you for being honest about not being able to make your mind up.

@Spike101 - Everything that is NOT Pedro or Surfer Girl seems spot [frick]ing on and potentially brilliant.

Doing dumb shit like Pedro and Surfer Girl is jumping in the pool with one hand tied behind your back - even if everything else goes perfectly, you're treading water at best and it didn't have to be that way.

@Spike101 - Pedro must have the stache in the contract now lol.

Spike101 - 9/9/2024, 2:16 AM
@Batmangina - agreed. I just don’t understand why they make these choices when setting up a movie, especially considering they are first and foremost a business out to make a profit.

Imagine having the opportunity to ask a celebrity something meaningful, and interesting but then spitting out... can you describe the fantastic four in three emojis?!

It kills me how brain dead some of these journalists and interviewers are... You went to school, got an education, built up debt, then get your opportunity infront of a camera to ask someone famous a thoughtful question and spit out this drivel? Where the hell has all the integrity gone lol. I try not to feel to sorry for celebs, but these press tours must suck the soul out of a person. No wonder they usually seem like they could give two shits about whatever they're being asked.

Ugh... 😅

@RedFury - 100% agreed. Most of them aren't actually looking for interesting responses, they just want quick headline grabs and "content" that drives traffic. It's embarrassing.

@RedFury - And who “speaks” emoji? Out loud?

Like, what was the expected answer? “Oh, the movie is definitely Smiley With Rosy Cheeks And Smirking. Sunset Across Framed City Skyline…” Nobody is going to be able to give the image description of emojis off the top of their head in the middle of an event. And can you recall the Entire emoji keyboard?

That being said. I had to be around some 8th graders recently, and they do “speak in meme” to eachother.

One says an actual independent thought. Another responds “surprised pikachu dot jpeg.” The next one literally describes a meme; like VoiceOver controls with Image Description. No cap, on god, frfr.

@RedFury - Reporters (for the entertainment industry) ask some of the most ignorant, stupid and embarrassing questions I've heard any reporters ask.

Apophis71 - 9/8/2024, 9:33 AM
@MarkCassidy - Even with those looking for interesting responses the actors are likely asked the same questions dozens of times which is likely to wear them down a lot too.

@MG0019 - I know right... At least the kids have the excuse of their prefrontal cortex not being developed yet lol. The interviewer on the other hand...
RedFury
RedFury - 9/8/2024, 9:40 AM
@MarkCassidy - it has to be even more infuriating to see for someone like you honestly. Just knowing you'd ask an actual question given the chance must make you want to toss your phone lol.
RedFury
RedFury - 9/8/2024, 9:42 AM
@LSHF - and the fact that they probably get asked these dumb ass questions 20 times in a row by every interviewer makes me wonder how they keep a smile on their face all night.

LSHF - 9/8/2024, 10:00 AM
@RedFury - I imagine it must seem like they have to keep acting off camera while they are talking with the press.

@RedFury - why only three emojis? Why not FOUR?

@Apophis71 - No sympathy here, they're well compensated for the minimal effort that's required.

@MG0019 - Fun fact: about 5 or so years ago someone developed an entire programming language using emojis: https://www.emojicode.org.

Now, just to be clear, I vaguely remember hen it came out back then and the first time I actually knew what it was called, much less what it looked like was just now looking up that link for this post. So I've never even attempted, or even thought about attempting, to write a program in that language. I have a PhD in Comp. Sci. and I'm pretty sure that if I even tried to do anything with that Mickey Mouse Chuck E. Cheese Looney Tunes programming language the university would be at my door within 15-20 minutes t demand I give back my diploma. It would be like writing your dissertation in wing-dings. In fact, I should go delete my browser history and then go throw my laptop in the pool just to be on the safe side 😉.

Plus after they do some shooting for the FF movie, when they go out to eat, Pedro can whip out his AARP card and get them a discount!

I see this movie as the most uninteressant cbm of 25.

Cap 4 will make more dough, as will T-Bolts*.
I don't know about Superman.
