Image Source: Marvel The film opens with 1963 on Earth, where a world that was once perfect is now slowly dying due to incursions across the multiverse. Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal) has been trying to restructure his world for weeks, but theirs has just too many incursions. Reed begins to explain to his family what’s going on before studying time travel and quickly making a time machine with H.E.R.B.I.E. While Johnny (Joseph Quinn) goofs around with Ben (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) in the lab, Sue (Vanessa Kirby) then gets upset with Reed because she thinks he isn’t doing enough to save their reality until a loud signal goes off on the computer warning about the coming of Galactus. The Fab Four will then have a standoff with the planet eater for the first time before escaping their universe and time-traveling to Earth-616.
According to reports, Marvel is reportedly searching for an actress to portray H.E.R.B.I.E. in ‘The Fantastic Four’. Also, they are searching for an actor to play the Silver Surfer.
