Vanessa Kirby is making headlines in 2025 for her performance as Sue Storm (Invisible Woman) in Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which premiered on July 25, 2025[4]. Notably, Kirby confirmed a major fan theory about the film’s first post-credit scene, adding to the ongoing excitement around her portrayal[5].

Kirby has expressed her enthusiasm about exploring the darker side of Sue Storm in potential future Marvel Cinematic Universe projects, stating she’s “dying” to dig into that narrative[1][3]. She spent several weeks filming crucial scenes for the new Fantastic Four movie and has discussed the intensity and challenge of filming the “birth” storyline for her character. Kirby also commented on working alongside Robert Downey Jr., who plays the villain Doom, and has hinted at a possible storyline where Sue breaks bad as Malice[3].

Her commitment to the Sue Storm role was so deep that she studied quantum physics to prepare for the character’s scientific background and unique powers[6]. Kirby playfully discussed the difference between portraying pregnancy for the role and experiencing it in real life, as she revealed in May 2025 that she is expecting her first child[4].

Beyond the Fantastic Four, 2025 is a busy year for Kirby:

  • She reprises her role as Alanna Mitsopolis (White Widow) in the eighth, and possibly final, Mission: Impossible film, set to release later this year[2][4].
  • She is starring and producing Night Always Comes, a Netflix adaptation of Willy Vlautin’s novel, with its premiere scheduled for August 15, 2025[4][6].
  • Future confirmed appearances include Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday (2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (2027) as Sue Storm[4].

Kirby continues to captivate audiences not only with her film and television work but also through high-profile appearances and interviews promoting her new projects. On social media, she has embraced her transition from dramatic period roles (notably Princess Margaret in The Crown) to blockbuster superhero films, documenting moments from her recent press tours and behind-the-scenes glances at her latest productions[8].
