IMDB listings now indicate that Margot Robbie will not take on the role of the Invisible Woman in the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot.
Earlier rumors had suggested she was in talks to join the superhero ensemble, potentially stepping into the shoes of Susan Sue Storm-Richards. Another name that circulated for a leading part was Adam Driver, who was reportedly asked to portray Mr. Fantastic in the project.
Recent updates confirm that both Robbie and Driver have declined to participate after conversations with the studio, though no specific reasons were made public to fans or press.
Industry chatter in Hollywood suggests that the two actors perceived certain terms of the deal as non-negotiable, with sources close to the matter indicating that the offered packages did not align with their expectations or long-term plans for the franchise.
Meanwhile, the film is being directed by Matt Shakman, known for projects such as On the Edge and his work on television drama series. The production is slated for release in 2025, with Marvel Studios continuing to map out the ensemble and the story that will bring the Fantastic Four into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In related industry gossip, there had been prior discussions about leadership roles connected to major brands, including Mattel, which is associated with a notorious public disagreement on set involving Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig during the Barbie project. The dynamic highlighted the balancing act actors navigate when aligning creative vision with big studio projects and high-profile collaborations.
As fans watch for official confirmations, the roster for the Fantastic Four continues to evolve. The absence of Robbie and Driver shifts attention to which actors will eventually fill the iconic quartet, and how the next chapter in Marvel’s superhero saga will be introduced to audiences around the world. The studio remains focused on delivering a fresh take that resonates with both longtime fans and new viewers in North America and beyond, while addressing the balance between star appeal, character fidelity, and the narrative momentum that has defined Marvel’s recent Phase.
