Is the cast of The Fantastic Four: First Steps actually Marvel’s first family? Vanessa Kirby reveals an update on their band along with her hopes for the film.
While the internet was skeptical at first, the cast of The Fantastic Four: First Steps has become one of the most beloved in Marvel’s history. And the film’s not even out yet! It seems that love is extending to the cast themselves, with Vanessa Kirby revealing that she already misses her co-stars after only being gone a handful of days to make an appearance at the world premiere for her film Eden.
“We love each other so much. I miss them!” Kirby explained on the red carpet. “I’ve been away for two days and I miss them. We’re having such great time. I’m really hopeful for the movie. Matt [Shakman] is amazing and Pedro [Pascal] is heavenly.”
The chemistry of the cast was one of the things fans were worried about the most for The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Hearing that Vanessa Kirby has such a good relationship with her co-stars isn’t just heartwarming, but serves as a sign that the MCU’s upcoming reboot is on the right track when it comes to adapting some of Marvel’s most beloved characters that have never gotten the shot that they truly deserved.
Vanessa Kirby’s Role In The Fantastic Four Reboot
Even though Pedro Pascal is potentially the most billable man in Hollywood right now, reports suggest that The Fantastic Four: First Steps will put its central focus on Vanessa Kirby’s Sue Storm. While not much is known about the reboot, the title and leaks of a new team member support that idea that her character will be taking the forefront of MCU’s first crack at a reboot for Marvel’s first super team.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps also isn’t a one-and-done commitment. The film’s cast is already confirmed to return in the MCU for the next two Avengers films. It’s also more likely than not that Marvel is already brewing up ideas for a sequel in the event that the film does well. Though with so few details on this film available, it’s unclear if Vanessa Kirby would continue in the leading role or if the torch would be passed to another member of the team.
The Fantastic Four opens on July 25, 2025. Stay tuned for all the latest news regarding the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more content!
