Marvel has officially announced the cast of the next Fantastic Four. The first of the superhero characters created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby was about four superheroes, Reed Richards, Susan Storm, Ben Grimm, and Johnny Storm, and how they adapt to the superpowers they attain. Reed Richards, also known as Mr. Fantastic, will be played by Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby will play Sue Storm (aka the Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn will play Johnny Storm (aka the Human Torch), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach will be Ben Grimm (aka the Thing).
