Fantastic 4 Casting Officially Reveals Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, And Many More
This is great news if you are a fan of the actors and Marvel films. Marvel officially announced on Twitter the cast of Fantastic 4. It confirmed that Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us, The Mandalorian), Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things, Game of Thrones), Vanessa Kirby (Mission Impossible: Fallout, Napoleon), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Bear, Andor) as the next Fantastic Four. The movie is set to debut in theaters on July 25th, 2025. Check out the post and more about the film below.
Matt Shakman (WandaVision, Game of Thrones) will be directing the film. The script was written by Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan, and Ian Springer. It will follow the original 1961 story of “Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, Susan Storm, and her brother, Johnny Storm, as they were forever changed during an experimental space flight that exposed them to cosmic rays, which gave them superhuman powers and abilities. In the aftermath of their incredible journey, the four pledged to stay together as a team.“
Fantastic Four was released in 2005 by 20th Century Fox and was received with mixed reviews. The film received 28% Critic and 45% Audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite this, the film went on to earn $333.5M at the global box office on a $100M budget. This would lead the film to get a sequel titled Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. This film also received mixed reviews earning 38% Critic and 51% Audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes. It went on to earn $301.9M at the global box office on a $130M budget. In 2015, a reboot titled Fantastic Four was released. This film received even worse reviews than the first two, earning 9% Critic and 18% Audience scores. It went on to earn $167.9M at the global box office on a $120M budget.
This seems to be some great casting decisions by Marvel and a huge leap as to where the next phase will take us. Are you excited about the casting news? Let us know in the comments below. Also, check out the trailer for the reboot below.

First Look: On Set of ‘Welcome to Derry’ & Interview with Andy Muschietti
Rising from the sewers, drag performer and horror movie enthusiast The Real Elvirus took her fans behind the scenes of the MAX series Welcome to Derry in an exclusive hot-set tour. The show is scheduled to release sometime in 2025, but a firm date has not been set.
Filming is taking place in Canada in Port Hope, a stand-in for the fictional New England town of Derry located within the Stephen King universe. The sleepy location has been transformed into a township from the 1960s.
Welcome to Derry is the prequel series to director Andrew Muschietti’s two-part adaptation of King’s It. The series is interesting in that it’s not only about It, but all the people who live in Derry — which includes some iconic characters from the King ouvre.
Elvirus, dressed as Pennywise, tours the hot set, careful not to reveal any spoilers, and speaks with Muschietti himself, who reveals exactly how to pronounce his name: Moose-Key-etti.
The comical drag queen was given an all-access pass to the location and uses that privilege to explore props, facades and interview crew members. It’s also revealed that a second season is already greenlit.
Take a look below and let us know what you think. And are you looking forward to the MAX series Welcome to Derry?

New Trailer For This Year’s Nauseating ‘In a Violent Nature’ Drops
We recently ran a story about how one audience member who watched In a Violent Nature became sick and puked. That tracks, especially if you read the reviews after its premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival where one critic from USA Today said it had “The gnarliest kills I’ve ever seen.”
What makes this slasher unique is that it’s mostly viewed from the killer’s perspective which may be a factor in why one audience member tossed their cookies during a recent screening at Chicago Critics Film Fest.
Those of you with strong stomachs can watch the movie upon its limited release in theaters on May 31. Those who want to be closer to their own john can wait until it releases on Shudder sometime after.
For now, take a look at the newest trailer below:
