The art shows Cavill with perfectly set gray hair wearing the Fantastic Four suit. Interestingly, John Krasinski, the actor who previously starred as Mister Fanatic will no longer continue with the role, as per CBR. As of late, there is no update on who will step into Mister Fantastic’s shoes. However, considering Cavill’s experience in the comic book role, the actor would be a good addition to the MCU, or so the fans say. The film will premiere worldwide on 14th February 2025.
