Excitement is building for Marvel Studios' highly anticipated Fantastic Four movie, and recent rumors about the cast have fans buzzing. A remarkable fan art has surfaced, depicting Margot Robbie as Sue Storm, igniting speculation about her potential role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Scheduled for a 2025 release, the Fantastic Four movie marks the long-awaited return of Marvel's First Family to the silver screen. With Matt Shakman, known for his work on WandaVision, at the helm as the director, the film's casting choices have become a subject of intense speculation. While initial reports had MCU Spider-Man trilogy director Jon Watts attached, Shakman now holds the responsibility of assembling a stellar cast, and rumors are circulating regarding the frontrunners for key roles. Among the latest whispers, Robbie's name has emerged as a contender for the role of Sue Storm. Capturing the imaginations of fans, an astonishing fan art has brought this possibility to life.
The fan art, shared on Instagram by digital artist @venomhology, showcases Robbie's transformation into Sue Storm, also known as the Invisible Woman of the Fantastic Four.
In the artwork, Robbie's portrayal of Sue Storm is pitch-perfect, perfectly embodying the character's essence. However, there may be some challenges to overcome if she were to assume the role. Robbie has made a name for herself in the superhero genre through her portrayal of Harley Quinn in multiple DC movies. Her exceptional performance catapulted Harley Quinn to iconic status, and with her The Suicide Squad director, James Gunn, now steering the DC Universe, Robbie's return as Harley seems imminent. This potential commitment to DC could make her transition to Marvel Studios for the Fantastic Four project more complicated.
As the rumors surrounding the casting of Marvel's Fantastic Four continue to swirl, several actors have been linked to the project in the past year. Penn Badgley, Jodie Comer, Jason Segel, and Diego Luna are among the names that have surfaced as potential candidates for the lead roles. While the speculation has been rife, casting for the film is finally gaining momentum, accompanied by a fresh wave of Fantastic Four rumors.
According to recent reports, certain actors have allegedly received offers for roles in the MCU film. Margot Robbie is said to have been offered the role of Sue Storm, while Adam Driver is rumored to be in talks for Reed Richards. Although rumors suggest that Paul Mescal has passed on the opportunity to join the MCU as Johnny Storm, Robbie and Driver are reportedly solid contenders to spearhead Marvel's Fantastic Four. Should these rumors prove true, it would be a significant coup for the film, as both Robbie and Driver are highly regarded and acclaimed actors, adding a touch of gravitas to the superhero ensemble.
Fans eagerly anticipate an official announcement regarding the Fantastic Four cast. With filming slated to commence in January 2024, Marvel Studios will likely aim to finalize the cast selection this year. Given the team's significance to the future of the MCU, Marvel is expected to create a buzzworthy event around the cast reveal. Speculation points to the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con in July 2023 as a prime opportunity for Marvel to make this announcement, as the convention has traditionally been a platform for major Marvel revelations. If all goes according to plan, fans may get their first glimpse of the Fantastic Four's cast in just two short months.
