After a long wait, Marvel has officially confirmed the casting of its four fantastic superheroes: there are some familiar faces.
Just after the announcement of a new Fantastic 4 film under the supervision of Marvel to officially join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a question began to circle: who would play the four heroes?
After long months of more or less coherent rumors and other theories from the most dedicated fans, the superhero studio published its official announcement through a visual illustrating the team in costume.
To the great pleasure of their fans, four stars will play the four heroes according to the publication on Marvel’s official X account: Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us) will play Vanessa Kirby (The Crown), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Bear) or Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things).
Who is the main cast of the MCU’s Fantastic Four movie?
Officially, the cast of Fantastic 4 is therefore as follows: Pedro Pascal in the role of Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby in that of Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn will play Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach will be Ben Grimm.
The illustration, which adopts a retro artistic style, shows the famous quartet in what appears to be a living room, celebrating Valentine’s Day. The characters are designed to look like their new actors: Marvel’s film has never looked so real.
Fans were quick to comment on the post, with most reactions being very positive towards the announcement.
