Fantastic Four Casting News: Two New Faces Join the Ensemble

Fantastic Four continues to bulk up its stacked cast list, adding two new faces to the line-up, which already boasts performances from Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Paul Walter Hauser, Julia Garner, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.

The Hollywood Reporter broke the exclusive that Ralph Ineson will join the cast as the villainous Galactus, a role which was earlier reportedly eyeing Javier Bardem .

Galactus is known for chowing down on the life force of planets, and it appears he has now picked the wrong planet to make his meal.

Ineson is not the only new casting announcement, as Deadline revealed that John Malkovich has also been cast, but his role in the film remains a mystery.

Paul Walter Hauser was also recently cast in a secret role, which has fans speculating about where Hauser and Malkovich fit into the story following the iconic Marvel family.

Cameras are set to roll on the film in England this summer, with Matt Shakman directing the script from Eric Pearson, Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan, and Ian Springer, with Peter Cameron also credited.

President of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, will produce.

Fantastic Four is slated for release on July 25, 2025.
