David Tennant Says He Had His ‘Eye On’ the Role of Reed Richards in ‘The Fantastic Four’ Before Pedro Pascal Was Cast: ‘They’ve Gone in a Different Direction’


David Tennant says he had his 'eye on' the role of Reed Richards in Marvel's 'Fantastic Four.'

Alongside Pascal as the titular shapeshifting hero, the film stars Vanessa Kirby as Susan Storm (Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm (Human Torch), Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm (The Thing), Julia Garner as Silver Surfer and Ralph Ineson as Galactus. After the debut of “The Fantastic Four,” comic book fans will have to wait until the release of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” on July 31, 2026, for another Marvel installment. The expanded break is due to the recent delay of the highly anticipated “Avengers: Doomsday.” The film, which features the largest team-up of MCU heroes to date, was originally set to release on May 1, 2026, but has been pushed back to Dec. 18, 2026.
