6 Things I Want to See in The Fantastic Four by Marvel Studios
The Fantastic Four are finally coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe! They were announced years ago, and there have been casting rumors ever since. Welp, Marvel took the reins and revealed everything in a pretty awesome Valentine’s Day post last week. We’ve got actors, costumes and a whole 1960s vibe.
Personally, I was against the idea of setting the new Fantastic Four movie in the 1960s. I still think it’s more than possible to come up with some reason why the team can fit in the modern day MCU. But now that I see that artwork and its whole vibe, I am 100% on board with whatever Marvel has planned. I trust in Marvel Studios. I’m still a big fan of everything they’re putting out. I know they will do right by the Fantastic Four on the big screen now that they can. But I still have some ideas of my own!
Join me after the jump for what I’d like to see in Marvel’s The Fantastic Four! And feel free to share your own hopes, dreams and thoughts in the comments below.

Out of nowhere, Marvel Studios used Valentine’s Day to unveil not only the cast of the upcoming Fantastic Four movie, but also the whole vibe. It’s a retro, ’60s throwback feeling. I wasn’t on board with that idea in general, but after seeing the artwork and logo, I am fully in favor of everything this movie is now giving off.
I love the cast as well. The only person we had fully confirmed at this point was Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, and I’m fine with that man in any acting role he wants or gets. I’m sure he’ll be great! The others are Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm! I knew of all three being at the top of the rumors list, so they’re not a surprise. I love every one of those choices!
I just finished watching season 2 of The Bear last week, and Moss-Bachrach was amazing! If I had watched that season when it came out last year, it would have made my end-of-year list as favorite show of 2023. And then everybody loved Quinn in Stranger Things, so they’re both pretty inspired casting. I’m not as familiar with Kirby’s work, but I’ve obviously seen her in some things like Mission Impossible. So high hopes all around for this cast!
The movie is set to come to theaters on July 25, 2025, so next year. Good times. No idea on the plot yet or the villains. I’d be cool with anybody. I love everything about this first look, down to even the retro jumpsuit look of the costumes Reed and Sue are wearing.
