‘The Fantastic Four’ – Pedro Pascal Starring in Marvel Movie Releasing Summer 2025

Published

on

While we wait for “The Last of Us” Season 2, Pedro Pascal has finally been confirmed to star in Marvel’s The Fantastic Four, which will be coming to theaters July 25, 2025.

Also confirmed by Marvel this morning in a total surprise announcement for Valentine’s Day, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Joseph Quinn have joined Pascal.

Pedro Pascal will be playing Mr. Fantastic, while Vanessa Kirby is Sue Storm, Ebon Moss-Bachrach is Ben Grimm/The Thing, and Joseph Quinn is Johnny Storm.

Marvel has been trying to get The Fantastic Four right for many years now on the big screen, with their first attempt dating all the way back to the early ’90s. The story of the doomed Roger Corman production was spotlighted in documentary Doomed: The Untold Story of Roger Corman’s The Fantastic Four, though the movie itself never ended up being officially released.

The Marvel Comics characters later came to the big screen in 2005’s Fantastic Four, and they returned in 2007’s Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and 2015’s Fantastic Four.

In the upcoming Summer 2025 movie, The Fantastic Four finally joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in the wake of John Krasinski playing an alternate universe version of Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic in Sam Raimi’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Check out the first piece of teaser art for the new movie below.

Matt Shakman (“WandaVision”) is directing The Fantastic Four.

Writer in the horror community since 2008. Editor in Chief of Bloody Disgusting. Owns Eli Roth's prop corpse from Piranha 3D. Has four awesome cats. Still plays with toys.

The Birthday Murders: Viral Marketing Website Launches for ‘Longlegs’

Published

on

NEON has been absolutely slaying the marketing game for their horror output this year, and they’re kicking the Longlegs campaign into high gear with one more month until release.

A cryptic ad in The Seattle Times today (seen below) has led clever horror fans to discover TheBirthdayMurders.net, the brand new official viral marketing website for Longlegs.

The in-universe website details the victims of the serial killer known as Longlegs (Nicolas Cage), described as a “Satan-worshipping psycho” who has terrorized families throughout the Pacific Northwest for nearly three decades.

The website details, “A bloody trail of bodies here in the great state of Oregon attests to the depraved savagery of this one-of-a-kind serial killer. With over three dozen victims that we know of, LONGLEGS is one of the most prolific mass murderers ever to have graced the region, and his gruesome endeavors are the stuff of nightmares. At first, all of the killings appeared to be straightforward murder-suicides: the handiwork of average men who suddenly snapped and slaughtered their wives and children. But a series of eerie coded messages left at the crime scenes indicate that someone – or something – is influencing these horrific crimes. The cryptic letters are signed by someone calling himself LONGLEGS.”

“With thirty-eight kills to his name, LONGLEGS has torn apart the lives of eleven different families throughout the Beaver State. His victims were good people: honest fathers, decent mothers, innocent little children.”

The website is loaded with secrets, clues, and gruesome (faux) crime scene photos, and you might even find a mention of yours truly nestled in there. Poke around. Stay a while.

Longlegs arrives in theaters July 12.

The upcoming serial killer horror movie marks the return of director Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Gretel & Hansel). Nicolas Cage stars alongside Maika Monroe, with Monroe playing an FBI agent and Cage playing a serial killer.

In the film, “FBI Agent Lee Harker (Monroe) is a gifted new recruit assigned to the unsolved case of an elusive serial killer (Cage). As the case takes complex turns, unearthing evidence of the occult, Harker discovers a personal connection to the merciless killer and must race against time to stop him before he claims the lives of another innocent family.

The film is rated “R” for “Bloody violence, disturbing images and some language.”
