The fantastic Four it won’t just feature four members of Marvel’s first family, but five. O Chippu can exclusively confirm that Franklin Richards, Reed’s son (Pedro Pascal) and Sue (Vanessa Kirby) will appear in the reboot currently scheduled for 2025. We can also confirm good news about Galactus’ presence in the film.
The rumor that Franklin would be in the film has been circulating on the internet for some time, and Chippu confirms that the boy will indeed appear, at least initially, as a baby in arms, with a pacifier and everything.
That Galactus will be the film’s villain has been speculated for months, including through reports that actors like Antonio Banderas It is Javier Bardem had been contacted for the role, with no agreement signed at the moment. What we can say, however, is that unlike the last time we saw Galactus in theaters, the world devourer will have a look faithful to the Marvel comics in The Fantastic Four.
This means his main colors will be purple and blue, that he will have his celestial armor and that he will be overwhelming in his size. No faceless cosmic cloud around here.
The Fantastic Four uniforms are where there will be a slightly bigger change. As the concept art released alongside the casting announcement suggests, the film is set in another universe that has a retro-futuristic aesthetic. The blue used by the group in their costumes is more similar to the light blue in that artwork rather than the darker blue seen in previous films.
The cast of the reboot Fantastic Four count with Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm (Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm (Human Torch) and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm (The Thing).
Julia Garner (Ozark) will play Shalla Bal, a female version of the Silver Surfer, and the film also has Paul Walter Hauser (Black Bird) and John Malkovich (Being John Malkovich) in the cast.
Behind the scenes, the production has already gone through some rough patches. Jon Wattsdirector of the trilogy Spider man in Tom Holland, was responsible, but left the film. Now, Matt Shakmandirector of WandaVision, is in charge, with young screenwriters on the rise Jeff Kaplan It is Ian Springer writing the first version of the story, and Josh Friedman (Avatar: The Way of Water) rewrite.
The Fantastic Four are the cornerstone of the Marvel universe as we know it. The group’s first comic book was published in 1961, as the publisher’s response to the Justice League, which was successful at its rival DC Comics. The screenwriter’s greatest insight Stan Lee and the artist Jack Kirbyhowever, was to create a group of vulnerable heroes, with problems that bring them closer to the readers.
The original lineup of the Fantastic Four is made up of Reed Richards, Ben Grimm and brothers Sue Storm and Johnny Storm. The four gain powers after an unauthorized trip into space, in which the ship they are on is hit by a series of cosmic rays for which it was not prepared.
With this, the vessel returns to planet Earth and the four, in addition to surviving the accident, gain super powers. Reed is able to stretch his body, Ben gains super strength and rocky skin, while Sue is able to turn invisible and create force fields. Finally Johnny is able to produce flames with his own body. The four become Mr. Fantastic, the Thing, the Invisible Woman, and the Human Torch.
