One of the first superhero groups that come to mind when Marvel is mentioned, the new movie of the Fantastic Four, which will take place in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), will be released in May 2025. After the fiasco in 2015, fans were eagerly awaiting what this movie would be like.
Although it is a long time to release, information about the movie has already started to come. Now, some information about the cast, which is one of the most curious subjects, has emerged. Jeff Sneider, known for his leaks about the world of cinema, announced the names Marvel is considering for the characters.
Allegedly, the characters who will play the characters of Sue Storm (Invisible Woman) and Johnny Storm (Flameman) are almost certain.
Speaking on the Hot Mic podcast program, Sneider announced the names Marvel is considering for the characters Sue Storm and Johnny Storm, based on the information he obtained from sources close to the subject. Accordingly, Vanessa Kirby, whom we know from the Mission Impossible series, is the Invisible Woman, and Joseph Quinn, who is remembered for his character Eddie in the fourth season of Stranger Things, are also the biggest candidates for the Flame Man.
In fact, rumors that Jack Quaid, who plays Hughie in The Boys TV series, is being considered for Johnny Storm, has been raising a lot lately. However, Sneider stated that this is not true, Quinn is being considered instead of Quaid.
For Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic) and Ben Grimm (The Thing), there are no clear candidates yet.
Sneider also touched on the actors who will play Reed Richards and Ben Grimm, the other two members of the quartet. Accordingly, Matt Smith (Doctor Who and House of the Dragon) was among the names Marvel interviewed for the role of Richards. However, the sources stated that it is not expected to reach an agreement between the parties.
On the other hand, Adam Driver (Star Wars, Marriage Story) was reached as the first option months ago; however, the famous actor reportedly turned down the role due to his inability to connect with the first draft of the script. There is currently no specific name for the role of Reed Richards; but Sneider says Marvel is targeting big Hollywood stars.
Finally, it is not clear who the character of Ben Grimm will be. Rumors suggested that Ebon Moss-Bachrach, whom we saw in the recently popular series The Bear, was being considered for this role. However, Sneider says that Moss-Bachrach will be in the Fantastic Four; however, he stated that this character will not be Grimm.
The claims circulating for other characters are as follows:
Galactus, who is expected to be the main villain of the movie, is said to be considering a latin actor. On the other hand, even the name Ryan Gosling is mentioned for the Silver Surfer character, which is well known to Fantasy Four lovers. Sneider, on the other hand, states that there is a possibility that Ebon Moss-Bachrach may be the Silver Surfer. However, these are all claims and there is no certainty. We’ll have to wait and see how the roster will take shape.
The Fantastic Four movie, which will be released on May 2, 2025, will be directed by Matt Shakman. Filming will begin next year. According to the information received, Marvel President Kevin Feige, who undertook the production, is currently waiting for the script of the film from screenwriter Josh Friedman. However, it is unknown when the script will be delivered due to the ongoing writers’ strike in Hollywood. In other words, we may even see a delay in dates.
