The news of Pedro Pascal allegedly being cast as Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic was already making the headlines for a long time now so Marvel decided to make it official.

A lot of fans went on to voice their support for this casting choice and mentioned Jack Quaid has been a great actor in every role that he has portrayed over the years.

A lot of fans went on to mention Jack Quaid would also have been a great cast for the role of Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch.

Since Herbie is just a robot, whoever is cast in the role would have to voice act anyway but Jack Quaid would definitely be a great choice for it nonetheless. Griffin Newman is another fan favorite for the role of Herbie but Marvel has not made any official comments about the casting of the role as of yet.
Fantastic Four is all set to release in theaters next year on July 25, 2025
