Pedro Pascal has taken to social media following the official casting announcement for Marvel Studios’ Fantastic Four, celebrating his inclusion into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In a recent Instagram post, Pascal shared the same photo that Marvel Studios did when they announced the news. In a simple caption, Pascal shared a Valentine’s Day message from their “family” to everyone’s.
Pascal also ended the caption with the hashtag “All You Need is Love,” a reference not only to Valentine’s Day, but to the iconic 1967 song from The Beatles. The hashtag quickly had fans wondering if that was a hint for when the film would be set, but nothing is known about the story for Marvel Studios’ upcoming film just yet.
What do we know about The Fantastic Four?
As confirmed by Marvel Studios, Pedro Pascal will indeed play Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, while Vanessa Kirby will play Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman. Stranger Things’ Joseph Quinn has the role of Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and The Bear’s Ebon Moss-Bachrach has the part of Ben Grimm/The Thing.
Fantastic Four will be directed by Matt Shakman (WandaVision) from a screenplay by Josh Friedman, who was brought in to re-write the script originally written by Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer. As a project in Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Fantastic Four is scheduled to be released on July 25, 2025.
The Fantastic Four comic debuted in 1961. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, it was the first superhero team title produced by Marvel Comics and popularized famous characters like Reed Richards, Sue Storm and Doctor Doom.
