The Fantastic Four, considered to be some of Marvel’s most iconic superheroes, are all set to return to the silver screen ….. but in 2025. Matt Shakman will be directing the upcoming superhero film, with the writing team consisting of Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer.
Part of the Marvel Universe, the Fantastic Four is a renowned superhero team of, you guessed it, four individuals who gained superpowers after being exposed to cosmic rays during a space mission. The team consists of Mr Fantastic aka Reed Richards who can stretch his body in any direction, and Invisible Woman aka Susan Storm who, as her name suggests, can become invisible and create force fields. The other two characters are the Human Torch aka Johnny Storm, who has the ability to generate and control fire, and the Thing aka Ben Grimm who possesses superhuman strength and has a rock-like appearance. Together, the four use their powers to protect the world from various threats in the universe.
Now that you are up to date on who the Fantastic Four are, let us take a closer look at the Fantastic Four 2025 reboot, including its plot details, cast and release date.
