Superheroes that audiences have yet to see in the Marvel Cinematic Universe will also join this new ensemble. Vanessa Kirby will join the crew as Sue Storm, while Ebon Moss-Bachrach joins as The Thing. Both actors make their Marvel debut in the upcoming film “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” which releases in theaters on July 25.
Lewis Pullman also joins the movie in the role of Bob Reynolds, or Sentry. He debuts as the character in the upcoming film “Thunderbolts*,” which releases on May 2.
Notably, Kelsey Grammer has also joined the film’s cast. He previously reprised his “X-Men” role of Beast in the post-credits scene of the 2023 film “The Marvels.”
It was announced at San Diego Comic Con in July 2024 that Robert Downey Jr. would make his return to the MCU in the upcoming Avengers film. Instead of playing Iron Man, however, Downey will play the villain Doctor Doom.
