The new “Fantastic Four” movie has officially started filming, with a stellar cast and some exciting plot details. The film is set to be released on July 25, 2025, and features Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing. Additionally, Julia Garner is cast as Shalla-Bal (Silver Surfer), Ralph Ineson as the villain Galactus, and John Malkovich in an undisclosed role.

The movie will be a period piece, likely starting in the 1960s, which ties into the era when the heroes were first introduced in the comics. This approach means it might not delve deeply into their origin story, similar to how Marvel handled Spider-Man in the MCU.
