Vanessa Kirby is about to make her superhero debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Sue Storm — and it’s not just a one-time appearance as the Invisible Woman.
Kirby will take on the role in the upcoming The Fantastic Four: First Steps, set to release on July 25, 2025, as the first film of Phase Six of the MCU. Following The Fantastic Four, she will also appear in the ensemble cast of Avengers: Doomsday, hitting theaters on May 7, 2026.
Kirby will also star in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, alongside 
Tom Cruise, 
Hayley Atwell, and 
Ving Rhames, as well as in the crime thriller Night Always Comes, featuring 
Jennifer Jason Leigh, 
Zack Gottsagen, and 
Stephan James.
Back in 2023, before she was officially cast as Sue Storm, many fans were already rooting for her to take on the role. In an interview with Variety, Kirby shared that it would be an honor to play such a character. Fast forward two years, and fans got exactly what they hoped for — and so did Kirby.
