It appears Kirby is attempting to keep any rumors close to the vest. Of course, the MCU likes to announce castings on their own time. While the Fantastic Four film has been announced for some time, Disney and Marvel Studios have yet to announce any casting news.

Vanessa Kirby, meanwhile, is promoting Ridley Scott's Napoleon. In the film, Kirby plays Empress Joséphine. The film tells the story of Napoleon's rise to power through the eyes of Joséphine. Joaquin Phoenix stars in the titular role.

Some of her other credits include roles in Everest, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, and The Son. In 2018, Kirby was introduced to the Mission: Impossible franchise. She has appeared in Fallout and Dead Reckoning Part One. Kirby will return in the upcoming eighth installment. Additionally, Kirby has starred in multiple seasons of The Crown. She played Princess Margaret.

Clearly, Kirby is no stranger to franchises. Perhaps she will soon join another one when the MCU Fantastic Four cast is announced.
