“The Fantastic Four” is back! Or ‘are’ back!
Marvel has just confirmed an open secret in comic book land. We now have the names of the latest group of actors to tackle this mighty assignment.
Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon-Moss Bacharach, and have agreed to to the assignment.
They will play Reed Richards, Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ben Grimm/the Thing.
This quadrangle succeeds the casts of the four previous movies from 1994, 2005, 2007, and 2015.
Pascal, who’s blazing hot these days, actually takes the role from John Krasinski. The latter’s appearance as Reed Richards in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” was just a one off thing. Unless, of course, Krasinski turns up in a multiverse version of this new film.
And wow — Joseph Quinn’s run in “Stranger Things” has certainly ignited his career. He was just announced as part of the cast in a new thriller directed by novelist Bret Easton Ellis. And Ebon Moss Bacharach just won a Critics Choice Award and an Emmy Award for “The Bear.” Kirby went straight from “The Crown” to “Mission Impossible.” They’ll be an impressive group!
