In 2015, a new version of the story was made with actors like Michael B Jordan, Kate Mara, Miles Teller and Jamie Bell. Unfortunately, it wasn't liked by many people and was a failure at the box office.
During a conversation with James Corden earlier this year, Mila Kunis put an end to speculations that she had been approached to portray the character of Sue Storm in the latest superhero flick.
It is said that the gossip started after photographs emerged of her having a rendezvous with Shakman in Los Angeles.
She said that the internet claims that having lunch with a colleague from the same industry can lead to collaboration.
For a long time, admirers of the US TV show "The Office" believed that John Krasinski would be perfect for the role of Reed Richards, also known as Mr. Fantastic, while Emily Blunt was suggested to play Sue Storm.

In the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness movie that came out in 2021, Krasinski played the role of a counterpart of Mr Fantastic in a different universe within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Despite this, Krasinski's portrayal of Mr. Fantastic was not able to continue as the character was eliminated from the story. Marvel has since stated that Krasinski is not guaranteed to reprise the role within the main Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline.
Pascal, an actor with Chilean and American roots, is already facing a jam-packed schedule for the year 2024 after the recent end of the strike by Hollywood actors.
The individual who is 48 years old is playing a part in the Gladiator sequel directed by Ridley Scott, which features Paul Mescal portraying Lucius - the child of Lucilla, represented by Connie Nielsen in the 2000 film. The nature of their role has not been revealed.
Next year, it is anticipated that the television show The Last Of Us, which was a huge success on HBO and was adapted from the famous PlayStation video game series, will be filmed. Another expected project to be shot is Weapons, the sequel to Zach Cregger’s Barbarian.
The movie Fantastic Four has a release date of May 2nd, 2025.
