Since 2019, there have been rumours swirling around about the cast for the film. This new movie will be the third Fantastic Four instalment on the big screen. The previous Fantastic Four films, released in 2015 and 2005, didn't do so well with critics.

Pedro Pascal stands out as the lead actor in The Fantastic Four. He's become widely recognised in recent years for his starring roles in popular shows like The Mandalorian and The Last of Us. Pascal has also appeared in Game of Thrones, starred in Narcos, and featured in films such as Kingsman: The Golden Circle and The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Notably, he's dipped into the superhero genre before, portraying the antagonist Maxwell Lord in Wonder Woman: 1984 for DC Comics.
After John Krasinski portrayed Reed Richards in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, fans have been curious if he will return as the character in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie. However we can now confirm that it was a one-time surprise and he will not be reprising the role.

Kirby shared the exciting announcement on her Instagram on 14 February. She wrote, "Happy Valentine’s Day everybody. From our family to yours. Very honoured to take on Sue Storm, Marvel’s OG lady since 1961. I hope to do her justice."
