The cast of Marvel’s The Fantastic Four keeps expanding, as Deadline reports that Natasha Lyonne is the latest actress to join the ensemble. Filming is to begin in late July.
Details on her character remain under wraps, as well as the plot, but she joins a packed ensemble that recently added John Malkovich and Ralph Ineson as Galactus. The story will also feature Julia Garner as the Silver Surfer and Paul Walter Hauser. Marvel’s First Family will be played by Vanessa Kirby, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.

Marvel Studios is putting a lot of eggs in the Fantastic Four basket, as they hope it will be another home run for them in the midst of two years of struggling to gain the audience’s trust back. Deadpool & Wolverine, their only 2024 movie, is supposed to start making things right for Kevin Feige and his studio.
Lyonne was recently nominated for an Emmy for her work in Poker Face. She recently wrapped production on Taika Waititi’s Klara and the Sun.
