Natasha Lyonne, whose previous credits include Poker Face (pictured above) and Russian Doll, is set to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the upcoming Fantastic Four film.

Deadline broke the news that Lyonne is ready to join the already stellar cast, which includes Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/the Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/the Thing. We also found out recently that the Big Bad the superheroes will face is Galactus, who will be played by Ralph Ineson. John Malkovich and Julia Garner have also been confirmed as part of the cast, with Garner playing Shalla-Bal (Malkovich’s role is undisclosed).

While we don’t have details on who Lyonne will be playing, her portrayal in Poker Face as a woman on the run who can tell when anyone is lying as well as her role in Russian Doll (a show she also created) as a New York City resident who finds herself in in time travel conundrums, bodes well for whatever part she’ll tackle in the upcoming Marvel film.

We also don’t have any additional plot details about Fantastic Four, except that it takes place in the 1960s. Matt Shankman, the head writer on WandaVision, is in the director’s chair.

Fantastic Four is set to premiere in theaters on July 25, 2025. icon-paragraph-end
