Summary
- Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach have been confirmed as the main cast of Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four.

The cast of Marvel Studios' upcoming The Fantastic Four reboot has started to be revealed. Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige confirmed a reboot of Fox's Fantastic Four projects in the MCU back in 2019, shortly after Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox, though news on the project had been scarce for several years. Spider-Man: Homecoming's Jon Watts was originally attached to direct the project, though he was later replaced by WandaVision's Matt Shakman, with Josh Friedman and Cameron Squires penning the script. Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four is scheduled to release on July 25, 2025, in the MCU's Phase 6.
Following Feige's announcement of The Fantastic Four for the MCU's Phase 6, the rumor mill began to spin, suggesting actors who could have assumed the four titular roles of Marvel's First Family. To celebrate Valentine's Day, Marvel Studios finally confirmed the cast of The Fantastic Four by sharing an image of the team on X. Not only did this image confirm the leads of The Fantastic Four, but it also hinted at the film's 1960s setting and teased the introduction of HERBIE. The four stars of The Fantastic Four have now been confirmed, as has Galactus.
