The Fantastic Four is heading into production this week, and the film just got a new title.
During the San Diego Comic-Con 2024 Marvel panels, the cast of the newly minted The Fantastic Four: First Steps shocked fans by appearing. Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach all showed up and hyped the upcoming film, with Sue Storm herself singing the praises of the production.
“We laughed so much. It’s so beautiful to be at work,” says Kirby. “It’s amazing reading the comics from the ’60s all the way up.”
While no footage was posted online at the time of reporting, plenty of juicy details have been revealed. The retro-future 60s styling was confirmed and teased with a vintage sizzle reel. Fans in attendance also got a fun little tease of The Fantasti-Car.
