Produced by Marvel Studios, it is intended to be the 37th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the second reboot of the Fantastic Four film series.
The film is directed by Matt Shakman and stars Pedro, Vanessa, Joseph and Ebon as the titular team.
In the film, the Fantastic Four must protect their 1960s-inspired retro-futuristic world from the planet-devouring cosmic being Galactus.
Vanessa first revealed she was pregnant with her first child last month as she showed off her bump at The Fantastic Four photocall in Mexico.
Last December it was reported she was engaged to her boyfriend Paul Rabil after two years together.
The beauty, who starred as Princess Margaret in Netflix 's The Crown, was allegedly set to head down the aisle with lacrosse player love, 39, after he popped the question, according to Page Six.
MailOnline contacted representatives of Paul and Vanessa for comment.
Vanessa and Paul first sparked dating rumours walking hand-in-hand through New York City in October 2022.

However, Vanessa and Paul didn't make their romance Instagram official until November 2023.
At the time, American Paul - who is the co-founder of the Premier Lacrosse League - shared a series of photographs of the couple including one of them embracing on a beach.
'From the very minute we first met in Des Moines, around the world and back, life is far better, more purposeful and more beautiful with you,' he wrote about the film star.
The couple have been spotted on several occasions together since 2022, but had kept quiet about their blossoming romance.
Paul previously dated Mexican actress Eiza Gonzalez and was married to fellow sportswoman Kelly Berger, from 2014 until 2017.
In April 2022, Vanessa was linked to Christopher Abbott after the pair were spotted enjoying a drink at a trendy bar in London's Soho.
The pair, who met when they played a married couple in 19th Century romantic drama The World To Come in 2020, were deep in conversation at Ducksoup.
An onlooker said the stars 'looked super comfortable in each other's company' as they drank wine and chatted for a couple of hours at an outside table.
Vanessa previously dated Callum Turner after they starred in 2014's Queen And Country.

Is Possession about a harrowing divorce or a woman with an octopus kink? Why not both?
Andrzej Żuławski's Possession is genuinely unhinged and utterly unforgettable. Żuławski called it 'a very true-to-life autobiographical story', which it is: when he made it in 1981, his own marriage had just collapsed, and as portraits of divorce go, Possession is a pretty spectacular one. But Żuławski also once described Possession as a film about a woman who 'fucks with an octopus', which it is too. A co-production between France and West Germany that was shot in West Berlin by a Polish director, Possession opens as Mark (Sam Neill), a spy, returns home and finds that his wife, Anna (Isabelle Adjani), wants a divorce. She's having an affair, she reveals, ostensibly with Heinrich (Heinz Bennent) – exactly the kind of lofty weirdo you'd hate your wife to dump you for. Mark reluctantly turns over custody of their young son, Bob, but soon discovers Bob is being left unattended for long periods by Anna, who is increasingly erratic and keeps disappearing. Mark hires a private investigator to find out who she is seeing – or what she is seeing. Something is not quite right about Possession from the start, and that's long before you get any tentacle sex. Even how it looks is a bit wrong: West Berlin is somehow both creepily clean and decaying, and haunted by an overwhelming sense of paranoia. (Anna and Mark's apartment looks out on to the Wall, which means we get shots of real patrolling soldiers.) Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning The dialogue is strange and stilted, reminiscent of David Lynch and David Cronenberg. Anna and Mark's frantic arguments often devolve to the point where nothing they say makes sense – though who hasn't felt like that during a fight with a loved one? Even time itself doesn't seem to work properly; Mark loses three weeks at one point, and it is never remarked on again. But Possession gets truly bizarre when the identity of Anna's real lover is finally revealed: a bloody, tentacled creature she's been hiding in a decrepit apartment. Alien designer HR Giger told Żuławski to hire special effects artist Carlo Rambaldi to make his frisky extraterrestrial. (For his next film, Rambaldi designed an equally grotesque alien: ET.) Sign up to Saved for Later Catch up on the fun stuff with Guardian Australia's culture and lifestyle rundown of pop culture, trends and tips after newsletter promotion Neill and Adjani are remarkable as an anguished couple at the end of their tether. They are completely fearless: they shout, throw furniture, harm themselves and each other. Neill has called it 'the most extreme film I have ever made in every respect … I think I only just escaped that film with my sanity barely intact.' In probably the film's most harrowing scene, Adjani screams and throws herself around a subway tunnel for what feels like hours. Much has been said about her reported breakdown after Possession – mostly by Żuławski, who spoke about her apparent suicide attempt like it was good promotional fodder. But for her part, Adjani has called Possession 'only the type of film you can do when you are young … It was quite an amazing film to do, but I got bruised, inside out.' Possession straddles many worlds: it won acclaim and Adjani best actress at Cannes, and was also banned in the UK for many years as a video nasty. It's not quite horror, but it is often horrifying, filled with dread and only occasionally bloody. The British film critic Mark Kermode has said that both times he programmed Possession at a festival, someone in the audience passed out. I don't believe anyone who claims they really know what Possession is about. That secret may have died with Żuławski. But it is an enjoyable puzzle to mull over. Are you watching something actually happen, or some kind of emotional truth instead? Is it deeply misogynistic, or actually a scathing portrait of male inadequacy? Perhaps it is both. Is it about how divorce reduces us to our worst, or a woman fucking an octopus? Perhaps it is both. Possession is available to stream on Prime Video in Australia, the UK and the US.

The Crown star shows off baby bump at movie premiere as she prepares to welcome first child with rumoured fiance
A FAN-FAVOURITE star of The Crown showed off her baby bump at the premiere of her new film. The A-list actress is currently preparing to welcome her first child with rumoured fiancé. 7 7 7 Vanessa Kirby, 36, shot to superstardom after playing the late Princess Margaret on the hit Netflix series, The Crown. She's about to make her Marvel debut in the new Fantastic Four movie in the role of Susan Storm. The Hollywood megastar showed off her growing bump in a sleek figure-hugging black dress in Berlin. She posed for the cameras as she promoted The Fantastic Four: First Steps alongside the likes of Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. Her sheer turtleneck ankle-length gown contained black velvet straps to cover her modest areas. As her long blonde locks were styled into thick waves, she coupled the long-sleeved ensemble with black sandal heels. Vanessa flaunted her enviable curves with slight slits to highlight her hips as she cradled her bump in front of an assembly of photographers. In terms of makeup, the global star opted for a smoky eyeshadow, a Cleopatra style liner on the top lid and a natural colour for her lips. She finished off the outfit with glamorous diamond-drop earrings and a thick ring. Vanessa first revealed that she was pregnant in May 2025 as she attended the CCXP event in Mexico. She has been in a relationship with former US professional lacrosse player - and rumoured fiancé - Raul Rabil, 39, since 2022. They first sparked dating rumours when they were photographed holding hands together in New York City. An insider has since told U.S. outlet Page Six that the duo have taken the next step with their relationship and are due to tie the knot. Since her streaming breakout, Vanessa has taken on a huge variety of roles which include starring in huge film franchises. These included high-profile parts in Fast And Furious and two of the Mission Impossible movies alongside the likes of Tom Cruise. She won acclaim after starring in Pieces of a Woman in 2021, which earned her nominations at the Golden Globes, BAFTAs, SAG Awards and the Critics Choice. Her first Oscar nomination came that year where she only narrowly lost out to Frances McDormand. Most recently, she impressed fans for her portrayal as Empress Joséphine in Ridley Scott's Napoleon. 7 7 7
