Vanessa Kirby turned heads at the Marvel Studios Press Line during San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday, dazzling in a plunging black bodysuit paired with a striking red PVC skirt. The actress looked effortlessly chic, embracing a bold and confident style that perfectly complemented her stunning figure.
Kirby went braless beneath the figure-hugging bodysuit, accentuating her curves with the eye-catching midi skirt. She completed the look with sleek black heels, adding height and sophistication to her ensemble.
Kirby's radiant smile lit up the event as she posed for photos at the star-studded gathering, held at the Hilton Bayfront hotel. She was joined by her new co-star, Pedro Pascal, as they prepared for their on-stage appearance to meet with eager fans.
During the event, the duo, who are set to star in the highly anticipated "The Fantastic Four" film, reflected on their transition into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In an interview with PEOPLE, they revealed that they have not received any guidance from established Marvel actors on navigating the franchise, as they are considered the new kids on the block.
Kirby quipped, "We're the newbies. We're in the newbie process." Pascal added, "We fly back tonight and start the movie. First day [is] in 24 hours."
In the upcoming film, Pascal will portray Reed Richards, better known as Mister Fantastic, while Kirby takes on the role of Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman. "The Fantastic Four" is scheduled for release in July 2025 and will be directed by Matt Shakman.
The movie is expected to "center around Marvel's First Family," promising a fresh take on the iconic superhero group.
"The Fantastic Four" has seen previous big-screen adaptations, with the first one released in 2005 starring Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, and Michael Chiklis. Despite a successful box office run, grossing $154.6 million domestically and $333.5 million worldwide, the film faced mixed reception. Its sequel, released in 2007, saw a slight decline in box office revenue, earning $131.9 million domestically and $301.9 million globally.
However, the third installment in 2015 was met with scathing reviews and reports of production issues, resulting in a disappointing $56.1 million domestic and $167.8 million worldwide box office gross, despite a reported budget of $120 million.
With a fresh cast and crew, the upcoming "The Fantastic Four" film aims to revitalise the franchise and deliver a captivating experience for fans, and based on Kirby's stunning Comic-Con appearance, the film is off to an exciting start.
