Part 4/8:
Already, troubled waters surround the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot. Reports indicate that production, initially slated to kick off around April with a full cast in place, has experienced delays. Film insiders suggest filming will now likely begin between July and September of this year, pushing back the original timeline and raising doubts about a May 2025 release.
The delay appears to stem from scheduling conflicts and creative re-evaluations. Notably, actor Pedro Pascal, rumored to be cast as Reed Richards, has reportedly stepped away from several projects—including Zack Krieger's horror film Weapons—to accommodate the Fantastic Four. Though an official announcement on the cast hasn’t been made, sources suggest Pascal is almost certainly set to take on Reed Richards.
