Fans of the MCU had plenty to celebrate when Marvel Studios officially announced who would be joining Robert Downey Jr. in the cast of Avengers: Doomsday. Most notably, Chris Hemsworth will return as Thor along with several actors who starred in either Avengers: Infinity War and/or Avengers: Endgame, including Paul Rudd, Sebastian Stan, and Tom Hiddleston. However, many people’s Spider-Senses undoubtedly tingled over the absence of several prominent Marvel Cinematic Universe contributors who were not included in the casting news. For instance, one YouTuber was quick to point out in the announcement video’s comments that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man didn’t make the cut. @0Sniix wrote:

"Where is Tom Holland' we all say in unison."

Obviously, Holland’s absence in Doomsday is easily explainable, and he will likely join up with the others in 2027’s follow-up, Avengers: Secret Wars. MCU fans know that Peter Parker (Holland) had...

The Fantastic Four: First Steps trailer is reportedly set to release sooner rather than later after principal photography was officially completed during the back half of 2024. However, Disney might have just pulled the plug on the exciting news. McU's upcoming reboot of Marvel's First Family is set to hit theaters in July 2025, so fans are anxiously awaiting the first official look at the film. And while some lucky convention attendees have already seen footage, an official trailer could make its way online at some point next month.

It was reported during the past weekend by trailer insider CrypticHDQuality that Marvel Studios was planning on debuting the first trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps during the NFL Super Bowl, which takes place on Feb. 9, 2025. Due to the fact that Disney likes to market their big tentpole projects at the annual sporting event, the aforementioned report was nothing shocking for fans of the franchise.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is currently filming at Durdle Door in Dorset, England, and Joseph Quinn's Johnny Storm/Human Torch has been spotted in full costume.

Based on what little we see here, Johnny walks down the beach alone before moodily standing on the coast while watching the tide come in. It's hard to say where this is meant to be doubling for, though the Torch may have found his way to the UK. The iconic tourist location may also be doubling for an alien planet.

If we're lucky, the rest of Marvel's First Family will also be spotted suited up in the coming weeks. The only other member of the team spotted since shooting started is The Thing who, at the time, was being brought to life with a practical costume.

Many movies and TV shows have been shot at Durdle Door; among them are Doctor Who...

It seems The Fantastic Four: First Steps has taken a break from filming, with star Vanessa Kirby attending the Toronto International Film Festival to promote her new film, Ron Howard's Eden, which also stars Ana de Armas and Sydney Sweeney.

The Mission: Impossible actress - who will play Sue Storm/Invisible Woman in the Marvel Studios reboot - was asked for an update on production on the red carpet of the Eden world premiere, and while she didn't share anything particularly exciting, it sounds like things are going very well and "Marvel's First Family" are all getting on as well as one would hope.

“We love each other so much. I’ve been away from them for two days and I miss them," said Kirby. "We’re having such great time together. I’m really hopeful for the movie and Matt Shakman is amazing and Pedro [Pascal] is heavenly.

The Fantastic Four cast has been confirmed. The Fantastic Four's Galactus has been confirmed. And now, thanks to the McU's mastermind, Kevin Feige himself, The Fantastic Four's shooting start date and setting have finally been confirmed too. In an interview for Marvel's new podcast, handily named The Official Marvel Podcast, Feige revealed that production on director Matt Shakman's (WandaVision) cinematic reboot for Marvel's First Family is set to get underway in July. And what's more, following several heavily 60s inspired teaser posters, Feige has also confirmed that The Fantastic Four will be taking viewers back to the (sadly presumably not web-) swingin' sixties.

When asked whether The Fantastic Four might be a period piece, Feige enthusiastically responded "Yes, yes, very much so — it's a period piece!" Continuing however, the president of Marvel Studios further teased that whilst Shakman's movie will be set in the 60s, that doesn't...

After years of rumors and fan speculation, Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four finally has a confirmed cast, but there are more actors and characters set to appear alongside Marvel's "First Family." 

Set to release on July 25, 2025, as a Phase 6 film, WandaVision's Matt Shakman will direct the Marvel Studios reboot and the McU's version of Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing.

The Fantastic Four's absence in the Infinity Saga can be explained by their being "snapped" during the epic battle against Thanos, according to comic lore. The team's exploration of the multiverse post-Secret Wars and their temporary hiatus from Earth-616 could also explain their absence during the Infinity Saga. The Fantastic Four's history of disappearing for extended periods provides an easy way for the MCU to explain where they were during the events of the Infinity War.

The cast of the MCU’s Fantastic Four film was recently revealed to great enthusiasm across Hollywood and fandom alike, with the team’s official entrance into Marvel’s sprawling live-action universe arriving in theaters just over a year from now on July 25, 2025. And despite them being a cornerstone of Marvel Comics as its “First Family,” The Fantastic Four weren’t seen at all in the Infinity Saga — a problem that can...

Get ready superfans! After years of waiting, some of Marvel's most influential characters will be getting another crack at the spotlight with the Marvel Cinematic Universe's The Fantastic Four. There have been more than a few film adaptations over the years, such as the 1994 Roger Corman creation, the 2005 film, and its 2007 sequel, and the totally beloved by all and definitely not universally maligned Fant4stic. Each adaptation has some high points, but fans have been anxiously awaiting a superior, comic-accurate adaptation of Marvel's so-called "First Family".

Years after an MCU reboot of the Fantastic Four was announced, fans still have questions about the cast, the story, and its release.

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige first confirmed plans for Fantastic Four in 2019; but ever since, the project has been in a near-constant state of flux due to delays, director swaps, rewrites, and more. 

Nevertheless, Marvel's "First Family" remains McU-bound; and with the film expected to debut next year, here is everything to know about the long-awaited project.

Pedro Pascal is set to lead Marvel’s Fantastic Four – and there’s a strong ensemble cast should these rumours prove to be accurate.

Marvel Studios sits in the eye of a rumour whirlwind at the moment, following months of internal turbulence that we covered here.

Externally, while the strikes have been disruptive, they’ve also given the studio the opportunity to reconfigure some of its upcoming projects. The general consensus following the release of The Marvels is that the company is in some sort of terminal decline, but it has yet to play the strongest cards in its hand. Those being movies based on iconic and beloved properties X-Men and Fantastic Four.

As far as the latter goes, casting rumours have emerged via reporter Jeff Sneider, who offers a few details on who will be playing Marvel’s ‘First Family’ – and even a little inside news on how the process worked.

"Game of Thrones," "The Mandalorian," the DC Universe, "The Last of Us," and now Marvel: Pedro Pascal continues to establish himself as one of the preeminent franchise actors of the 21st century. After much speculation, wondering, fan-casting, and impatience, word has come out -- and /Film's sources can confirm -- that Pascal will be starring as Reed Richards, also known as Mr. Fantastic, in the upcoming "Fantastic Four" reboot set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The news was initially reported by Daniel Rpk, but according to sources close to the project who spoke with /Film, Pascal has officially signed on the dotted line. Although Daniel Rpk's report says Pascal is in talks, /Film's source says the deal is done and should be announced soon. We have reached out to Disney for comment. 

We still don't know who will be playing the rest of Marvel's so-called "First Family" -- Sue Storm...

A tripped out girl walks around school carrying an ominous jar. What’s inside of it is anybody’s guess, but inevitably we find out. And so begins the twisted fun in writer/director Bishal Dutta’s (Triads) dynamic new horror film, It Lives Inside. The producers of Get Out — Sean McKittrick and Raymond Mansfield — are attached to this SXSW audience winner, which will keep you on the edge of your seat.

The plot revolves around Sam (Megan Suri of Missing), an Indian-American teenager desperately trying to fit in at school. She’s also struggling with her cultural identity, and during a fight with her former gal pal, she unwittingly releases a mythological demonic entity that grows stronger by feeding on her deep loneliness. Suddenly, Sam must come to terms with her heritage and defeat the beast — or perish.

It has been a while since we last saw Marvel's First Family, the Fantastic Four, on the big screen. We had the critically-maligned 2015 reboot, and before that, we had the divisive early 2000s duology. Even further before that, if you can believe it, we had Roger Corman's unreleased attempt. Kevin Feige and Matt Shakman are hoping to finally make a great movie that the team deserves, even if it'll take a little bit for them to be reintroduced into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Feige didn't say much about the upcoming MCU slate. After all, why would he? The franchise has relied on speculation and pulling together threads of loose information for years, so why stop now? Regardless, he kept relatively mum about what Shakman, along with co-writers Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer have in store for fans. However, he did make a...

Marvel's "First Family" has had a rocky road to the big screen. Although the characters of Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm have delighted Marvel comic book fans for generations, the "Fantastic Four" has never received the cinematic adaptation that they deserve. Unfortunately, these great characters have never been properly utilized. The "Fantastic Four" comics show what it's like to balance superhero responsibilities with familial duties.

Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch, and the Thing were brought to life in 1994's "The Fantastic Four," a low-budget film that never received a theatrical release. It wasn't until 2005 that they made it to the big screen when Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, and Michael Chiklis were cast in Tim Story's "Fantastic Four." While the cast has strong chemistry, the film did not strike the right tone. 2007's "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" at...

What’s science got to do with birthdays? You’ll have to watch the show to find out!

In this article, we’ll discuss the highlights of season two and share all the latest news about the Disney plus series.

“Are you here for an affair, sir?”

It’s one of the great lines in The Graduate, a movie that’s nothing but great lines, written by a New Yorker a year older than Mrs. Robinson. Buck Henry, the man who penned the screenplay, plays the officious, condescending hotel clerk, tormenting Dustin Hoffman with a routine question about whether he’s there to attend a wedding reception. It’s a great single-scene breakout role for Buck Henry — he wouldn’t have been comfortable playing one of the participants in the affair.

Buck Henry, screenwriter for The Graduate and co-creator of Get Smart, has died at the age of 89. Henry died of a heart attack at a hospital in Los Angeles, California, on Wednesday, the Washington Post reports.

Born Henry Zuckerman in 1930 in New York City, the noted screenwriter was also a regular host in the early days of Saturday Night Live during its first five seasons: He often appeared as the foil to John Belushi’s Samurai Futaba in that series of classic sketches — in one sketch, “Samurai Stockbroker,” Belushi’s...

Buck Henry, the actor-screenwriter-director who co-created “Get Smart,” co-wrote “The Graduate” and co-directed the hit 1978 Warren Beatty film “Heaven Can Wait,” died Wednesday night in Los Angeles. He was 89.

According to Deadline, which first reported the news, Henry died at Cedars-Sinai Health Center following a heart attack.

Born Henry Zuckerman in 1930 in New York City, Henry was the son of silent film star Ruth Taylor. He began his entertainment career in the early 1960s as a cast member on TV shows like the “The New Steve Allen Show” and “That Was the Week That Was.” Soon after, he co-created the spy thriller parody “Get Smart” with Mel Brooks, also co-writing several episodes.

Though his first film script was for the 1964 movie “The Troublemaker,” in which he also had a minor role, Henry made his name as a screenwriter with “The Graduate,...

Though Marvel Studios is staying tight-lipped on their plans for the Fantastic Four, a new video from Kevin Feige features a sly reference to Disney’s newly acquired superhero team.

In the clip revealed at least night’s Saturn Awards, Feige introduces an alternate post-credits scene from 2008’s Iron Man, in which Nick Fury alludes to both Spider-Man and the X-Men. But look in the background as Feige speaks, and you’ll notice a subtler nod to another former Fox property. Specifically, on the left of the screen, right above the model Infinity Gauntlet, is a poster displaying the cover to 1961’s The Fantastic Four #1, the comic book debut of Marvel’s First Family.

At the Saturn Awards, Kevin Feige revealed an alternate version of the post-credits scene from ‘Iron Man’ with Nick Fury mentioning “mutants” and “radioactive bug bites”. It will be included in the upcoming Infinity Saga boxset.

Fans are looking forward to seeing how Marvel Studios tackles the Fantastic Four now that they’ve got the rights back from Fox. However, the First Family themselves aren’t the only exciting characters who can finally join the McU. There are all their major foes, too, including Doctor Doom, Kang the Conqueror and Galactus. In fact, the Planet-Eater, in particular, could be a perfect fit for the role of franchise’s latest big threat.

And, according to our sources, Marvel may already be looking at actors to play him. We Got This Covered has been informed by a few industry insiders – the same ones who told us Ewan McGregor was returning as Obi-Wan and that Moon Knight was coming to the McU, long before those two things were made official – that The Walking Dead star David Morrisey is one of those on the wishlist to play Galactus. At this point,...

We know that the Fantastic Four are on their way into the McU in a few years’ time, with fans excited to see how Marvel Studios gets the characters right after Fox botched them several times. The same goes for the Four’s rogues gallery, who also need to be done justice in the franchise. Doctor Doom is an obvious one, but let’s not overlook Galactus, who was previously portrayed as a cloud in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

Well, We Got This Covered has heard that Marvel has already got plans for the World-Eater in the McU. This includes even drawing up a wishlist of actors they’re considering to play the role, and one of the names on said list is British star Mark Strong, last seen in the comic book sphere as Dr. Sivana in April’s Shazam!

From what we understand, Strong hasn’t been formally approached yet,...

The Fantastic Four are one of the cornerstones of the Marvel Universe, even dubbed as Marvel's "First Family". It's no surprise then that fans are so excited about the Fantastic Four finally joining the McU. While it is still several years away, seeing these iconic heroes join this ever-expanding universe is a thrill for comic book fans everywhere.

One of the key characters that will need to be cast perfectly in this new version of the team is Sue Storm aka Invisible Woman. Sue is usually seen as the one who is keeping the team together and is very much the heart of the Fantastic Four. The role will need an actor who can be that central figure. Here are some of the actors we want to see play Invisible Woman in the McU.

As fans look forward to what's next for the cinematic universe, many are wondering when we will begin to see some of those Fox characters integrated into the McU adventures. The Fantastic Four are of particular interest for fans as they are Marvel's "First Family" and have suffered some poorly received cinematic interpretations.

While it might still be a while before they appear, it's never too early to speculate on casting. One critical casting piece will be Reed Richards aka Mister Fantastic as the super stretchy hero severs as the genius leader of the group. It is an iconic comic book character to take one, but there are some actors who feel like the right fit. Here are some solid choices for who should play Mister Fantastic in the McU.

Marvel Studios now have the rights back to the X-Men, following the closure of the historic Disney-Fox deal, meaning that the Children of the Atom will invariably be folded into the McU in time. But one former filmmaker of the franchise thinks Marvel’s Kevin Feige should maybe consider holding off on rebooting Professor X and his team.

Matthew Vaughn, who co-wrote and directed X-Men: First Class back in 2011, was asked what he thinks the studio should do with the X-Men and the Fantastic Four during a chat on the ReelBlend Podcast. After explaining how he believes the First Family are the real big opportunity here, Vaughn revealed that he’d recommended giving the X-Men some “breathing room” because of how many movies Fox have released over the past few years.

“And the X-Men world, I imagine that might get put on ice for a little bit. I...

Last month, the Disney/Fox deal finally came into effect, giving Marvel Studios access to an overwhelming array of new comic book properties. And while a lot of fans are keen to see what Kevin Feige and his team does with the X-Men, a new piece from ComicBook.com makes a convincing case that we’re likely to see the Fantastic Four in the McU first.

For one thing, Fox’s take on the mutant saga still has a couple of movies left to go. First is Dark Phoenix, which is scheduled to hits theaters on June 7th of this year, before The New Mutants comes out on some unknowable date. After that, you can imagine that Marvel will want the franchise to cool off for a little while before they start recasting, whereas the Fantastic Four haven’t made their way to theaters since Josh Trank’s 2015 box office bomb.

In a decade of countless record-breaking hits in the genre, one superhero movie stands out for its total failure. 2015’s Fantastic Four was Fox’s third attempt to bring Marvel’s First Family to the screen and at first we thought they were onto something with director Josh Trank’s darker take on the team. However, the end result was an ugly, studio-mangled mess. Fans aren’t alone in hating it, though, as it seems Trank himself agrees.

In response to Captain Marvel‘s historic opening weekend, following speculation that it might flop, music video director Joseph Kahn argued that “no superhero movie fails.” Trank then saw an opportunity to prove him wrong. “Hold my beer,” the filmmaker succinctly tweeted, going viral in the process.

Hold my beer.

As the Disney/Fox deal edges ever closer to completion, fans continue to speculate on how Marvel Studios might make use of their newly acquired properties, and while the X-Men and Deadpool have dominated most such conversations, many of us have long assumed that the Fantastic Four will also be factoring into Kevin Feige’s vision for the future.

Sure enough, a source close to We Got This Covered has claimed that the studio does indeed have plans for a movie focused on Marvel’s First Family. Though details are a little vague, it’s said that the film will be based on the Ultimate Fantastic Four comic book series, will feature a team in their 20s or 30s, and will be a cosmic adventure that sees the gang exploring space and the unknown. On top of that, it’s reported that Doctor Doom will not be the villain, which...

Since they have been stepping out together on the awards circuit, they’ve been generating “most adorable couple in Hollywood” headlines (The Hollywood Reporter even got the exclusive “rare joint interview”), as well as #CoupleGoals hashtags and fashion approval. The most irritating thing about them is that there’s nothing irritating about them.

Kevin Hart will star in board game movie Monopoly, with Fantastic Four director Tim Story behind the camera.

Monopoly has just acquired the proverbial Marvin Gardens of a Hollywood movie treatment. While, Hasbro’s iconic board game, in which players aim to achieve financial domination one dice roll at a time, has been the focus of movie plans for quite some time, Lionsgate is finally moving forward with the project, having nabbed a headliner and director.

Kevin Hart is set to star in the Monopoly movie, and he’ll be directed by helmer with whom he has history in Tim Story, reports Deadline. Indeed, Story was the director of signature movies for the comedy superstar, Hart, such as the two Ride Along films and the two Think Like a Man films. Moreover, genre fans will know Story’s work from the previous film franchise iteration of Marvel...

Mostly fans are talking about the future of the X-Men when it comes to the possibilities of Marvel Studios gaining new heroes due to the Disney/Fox merger, but let’s not forget about the Fantastic Four. Marvel’s First Family are arguably more in need of a change of hands as Fox – sorry, guys – have never managed to pull off a great Ff movie after three attempts.

As we know well by now, Ant-Man and the Wasp director Peyton Reed is a massive fan of Reed Richard and friends, as he’s voiced his opinions on the potential for an Ant-Man/Fantastic Four crossover, the failed 2015 reboot and his own interest in making an McU outing for the gang.

While speaking to ComicBook.com, Reed was once again asked what he thought about the Fantastic Four becoming part of the franchise. Obviously, he’s excited, but he also proved...

While news of the Fox-Disney merger sent the internet into a flurry of speculation on how upcoming releases like Avengers 4 could bring such cherished properties as X-Men and Fantastic Four into the McU, it’s worth remembering that the deal hasn’t gone through quite yet, suggesting that it may still be some time before this arrangement starts impacting the movies in any considerable way.

That being said, these changes might be coming a little sooner than expected, with a new report mentioning that the deal could be closed by the end of 2018, or more likely, early 2019. This essentially means that Fox’s current toy box of Marvel heroes and villains will be Disney property before the next McU film – Captain Marvel, that is – has made its way to cinemas.

Though it was previously forecast that the deal wouldn’t go through until Spring or early Summer, this...

In the wake of the historic Fox-Disney merger, the internet has been abuzz with theories on how Marvel Studios could integrate their newly acquired properties into the ongoing McU. And while the characters from the more popular X-Men camp have mostly dominated the conversation, there’s no denying the fan interest in seeing the Fantastic Four get one more shot at a sustainable film series.

Take this recent Reddit post, which speculates on how the first McU flick from Marvel’s First Family could start as another period film, à la Captain Marvel and Captain America: The First Avenger, before the flow of time itself is brought into some strange new territory. The theory starts off sounding like a similar origin story to the one depicted in 2005’s Fantastic Four, albeit shifting the narrative back several decades.

“Okay so, it’s late ’50’s to mid ’60’s. Let’s say Howard Stark & S.

Deadpool 2 was packed with fan-pleasing easter eggs and cameos, with the most obvious being the first appearance of X-Men villain Juggernaut since 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand. It turns out that the Merc with a Mouth’s sequel could have also found room for the Fantastic Four as well though, if original director Tim Miller had stuck with the project and not been replaced by David Leitch.

Though we never got to see a Fantastic Four/Deadpool crossover, even on the extended Super Duper Cut home video release, these awesome pieces of concept art seen down below reveal how the characters might’ve appeared. Marvel artist Alexander Lozano shared the work on Instagram, along with some information about how Miller envisioned the heroes.

The recent box office success of The Boss firmly establishes Melissa McCarthy as the current queen of movie comedies (Amy Schumer could be a new contender after an impressive debut last Summer with Trainwreck), but let us think back about those other funny ladies of filmdom. So while we’re enjoying the female reboot/re-imagining of Ghostbusters and those Bad Moms, here’s a top ten list that will hopefully inspire lots of laughter and cause you to search out some classic comedies. It’s tough to narrow them down to ten, but we’ll do our best, beginning with… 10. Eve Arden The droll Ms. Arden represents the comic sidekicks who will attempt to puncture the pomposity of the leading ladies with a well-placed wisecrack (see also the great Thelma Ritter in Rear Window). Her career began in the early 1930’s with great bit roles in Stage Door and Dancing Lady.

Get this: Gilda's Club -- the cancer support group named for Gilda Radner, who once claimed that cancer is "an elite club I'd rather not belong to" -- is getting a new name. The reason? People born after 1989 don't know who Gilda Radner is. Uh, interesting: 20-year-olds seem to know who John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, and Dan Aykroyd are, but Gilda Radner, arguably the most original and explosive talent in SNL history, slides under the radar? This is unspeakable news in the worst way possible.

Quick, please memorize these six points and tell them to everybody you know who is born in the '90s. This is an important performer for many reasons. Save the advanced knowledge about her Toronto Godspell stint, Second City, Candy Slice, her Baba Wawa impersonation that used to infuriate Barbara Walters, First Family, The Woman In Red, and the failure of Haunted Honeymoon for semi-advanced children.

Bill Hader is, in my opinion, one of the funniest people working in entertainment today. Both his comedic tone and sense of timing make me laugh more than most anyone, or anything, in either film or television. I mean, if his SNL impersonation of John Malkovich doesn’t even remotely strike your fancy, there’s really nothing I can say.

While speaking to ThePlaylist, the actor/comedian revealed that he has two new films on the way, both of which could be departures for him.

The first of these is titled Henchman. The script is written by Owen Egerton and Chris Mass, with additional work by Hader and potential director Akiva Schaffer (The Lonely Island member, SNL director, Hot Rod). He described it with this quote:

“The film is about two guys who don’t realize it, but they’re two henchman for like the badguy in a ‘Bourne’ movie...
