Marvel Revamps Fantastic Four Look, Keeps Cast for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Push
The changes are intended to reposition the team as key players in the December 2026 crossover.
Overview
- Entertainment outlets report Marvel and Disney are implementing a visual refresh for the Fantastic Four after Fantastic Four: First Steps underperformed with critics and at the box office.
- Updated costumes surfaced via official Avengers: Doomsday production wrap gifts, signaling a refined on-screen identity ahead of the team’s next appearance.
- Reported tweaks include a white jacket over Reed Richards’ blue suit, a complementary jacket design for Sue Storm, a darker blue look and updated hair for Johnny Storm, and no change for Ben Grimm.
- The studio is retaining the principal cast—Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach—while adjusting presentation rather than recasting.
- Marvel continues to frame the team as central to Avengers: Doomsday in December 2026 as part of a broader effort to reset and rebuild momentum across the MCU.
