Vanessa Kirby (Pieces of a Woman) will play Sue Storm, aka Invisible Woman, Reed’s girlfriend and the team’s heart who can turn invisible and create force fields.
Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Bear) will play Ben Grimm, aka The Thing, Reed’s best friend and the team’s muscle who transforms into a rock-like creature with super strength and durability.
Finally, Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things) will play Johnny Storm, aka The Human Torch, Sue’s brother and the team’s hothead who can fly and manipulate fire.
