The Fantastic Four, a group of superheroes from Marvel’s comics, is getting a new movie, and the cast has just been revealed!

Pedro Pascal will be playing Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby will take on the role of the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn from “Stranger Things” will be the Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach will play the Thing.

So, who are the Fantastic Four? They’re a team of superheroes created by Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby for Marvel Comics. Their adventures began in a comic book that came out in November 1961. This team was Stan Lee’s first go at making a superhero group, and he wanted them to feel more like real people. The Fantastic Four are four astronauts who get superpowers after a space mission goes wrong.

This isn’t the first time the Fantastic Four have been in movies, but it will be the first time Disney is making a film about them.
