The Fantastic Four: First Steps Marvel Movie Update and Cast Reveals

– The upcoming Marvel movie, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, will introduce the superhero quartet to the Marvel Cinematic Universe on a different Earth in the Marvel multiverse.
– Actress Natasha Lyonne’s role in the film has been kept a secret, but her recent comments suggest she may be voicing the character H.E.R.B.I.E., the team’s robot pal.
– Other actors whose roles in the film remain unknown include Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, and Sarah Niles, while there are rumors of a cameo appearance by Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom.

Three upcoming Marvel movies are scheduled for release in 2025, and the final one is titled “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.” This film will introduce the superhero quartet to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, taking place on a different Earth in the Marvel multiverse. While many of the actors in the cast have been revealed, there are still a few roles being kept secret, including Natasha Lyonne’s. However, Lyonne recently shared a new detail about her character, leading to speculation about her role.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Lyonne mentioned her involvement in both “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” and the upcoming Smurfs movie. She described the new Fantastic Four film as “interstellar-type stuff” and compared it to Smurfs, hinting that her role in the former could be a voiceover role. This suggests that she might be voicing H.E.R.B.I.E., the team’s robot companion.

Concept art released over a year ago confirmed that H.E.R.B.I.E. will appear in “First Steps.” Although the character was previously voiced by Frank Welker, there’s no reason why a woman like Lyonne couldn’t provide the voice this time. Her comedic sensibilities make her a great fit for dropping wisecracks as H.E.R.B.I.E. This is not an official confirmation, but it seems plausible given the information available.

Other actors, such as Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, and Sarah Niles, also have undisclosed roles in “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.” Fans have speculated that Hauser might be playing Mole Man, and there are rumors of Robert Downey Jr. making a cameo appearance as Doctor Doom. The main cast includes Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing, and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch.
