Marvel Studios Releases The Fantastic Four “4/4 Day” Poster and Casts Julia Garner as The Silver Surfer

 

It’s April 4, and for many fans of Marvel’s First Family that means a celebration of the Fantastic Four! To commemorate the occasion, Marvel Studios has released a new poster featuring Johnny Storm/ The Human Torch doing his signature “Flaming 4” sign while soaring through the skies! The character will be played by Joseph Quinn, while Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach join in as Reed Richards/ Mister Fantastic, Sue Storm/ Invisible Woman, and Ben Grimm/ The Thing.

Speaking of casting, The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Julia Garner has been cast as a female version of The Silver Surfer. A fan favorite and a herald of Galactus, the one comic readers know is male and the alter ego of Norrin Radd. However, Garner will play Shalla-Bal - who was Radd’s lover and will be the Surfer in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The Fantastic Four will be released in theaters on July 25, 2025 in the US.

Marvel Teaser: Fantastic Four #600 cover!

Marvel has finally given confirmation that Fantastic Four #600 is indeed happening by unveiling the cover to said issue, as illustrated by artist John Romita Jr.! That pretty much confirms that "Future Foundation" ends and FF reverts back to its original format... But Spider-Man is still present and in the cover! However, what is not definite is whether the Human Torch is indeed returning from the dead... But there's a sure fire chance that he is. This is the fourth tease we've gotten in the past few days, and apparently there's one more coming up as hinted by the original file name sent in for this teaser ""Four_Teaser4of5"! Look for more on the story by visiting the source post at Marvel.com and Newsarama!

"FOUR" comes on November 2011!

Marvel Teaser: "FOUR" Teaser #3

Marvel and Newsarama have released the third teaser to "FOUR", which ushers in another pivotal milestone in the history of the Fantastic Four, or better known currently as the "Future Foundation" with Spider-Man as a replacement member for the recently deceased Human Torch. However, the new teaser by above as drawn by Joe Quesada confirms or suggests that Johnny Storm will be back in full force this November, suggesting that FF will reformat once more back to Fantastic Four just in time for issue #600 that month. To dispel speculation, two other teasers were shown previously, one with just the "4" logo, and the other showing the current roster for the Future Foundation. Hopefully more answers will pop up as we march towards November. For more info on the story, visit the source posts at Marvel.com and Newsarama.

FOUR comes this November!

Following up on that Fantastic Four #1 50th Anniversary post, it looks like Marvel is bringing the band back together this November, and just in time for the team's 600th issue if they decide to put the original number scheme back in place.

As posted by the likes of Newsarama and Bleeding Cool, this teaser for "FOUR" hints that the Fantastic Four will be reformed/ reunited/ reassembled. After the Human Torch gave up his life in the pages of Fantastic Four #587, the team was reformatted into the FF or "Future Foundation", and saw the inclusion of Spider-Man as a member to honor the Torch's memory. Now, with November fast approaching, it looks like a resurrection is in place for Johnny Storm... or it could symbolize the return to basics and bring back the blue and black tights with the "4" firmly in place again. Personally, I hope the Torch returns, and they reintegrate the original members back as they were always meant to be... As Marvel's First Family!

FOUR, to be headed by the creative force of Jonathan Hickman, Steve Epting, Carmine Di Giandomenico, and Leinil Francis Yu, will be released on November 2011!
