The surprise news has fans buzzing with joy and curiosity, especially given its overlap with her on-screen role.
The British actress, made her first public appearance showing off her baby bump on the red carpet. Dressed in an elegant blue shimmery geometric gown that accentuated her baby bump, Kirby posed for photographers.
The announcement comes as an emotional surprise for many fans, especially as her character, Sue Storm aka Invisible Woman, is also pregnant in the upcoming superhero film.
Footage from Fantastic Four: First Steps screened earlier this year at CinemaCon confirmed Sue's pregnancy and the recent release of a Pop! Funko figure teased the arrival of baby Franklin Richards, a central figure in the Marvel Comics universe known for his world-altering mutant powers.
The coincidence between Kirby's personal life and her film role left fans feeling rather emotional as one posted, 'Seeing Vanessa Kirby play a pregnant woman in 'Pieces of a Woman,' which got her an Oscar nom, to now seeing her pregnant in real life (while promoting a movie where Sue Storm is pregnant too) feels like a surreal full circle.'
Others were a little confused but overjoyed nonetheless, saying, 'Is Vanessa Kirby really pregnant or is this just for her character? Either way, I'm so happy for her.' Another commented, 'Is she REALLY pregnant or just carrying Franklin to the red carpets?'
Kirby, previously earned acclaim for her raw portrayal of motherhood in 'Pieces of a Woman'. As for Fantastic Four: First Steps, the film is expected to delve into Sue Storm's journey not only as a superhero but as a mother — a plotline that may play a key role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's post-Avengers: Doomsday' and 'Avengers: Secret Wars' - with Franklin Richards potentially being a pivotal character.
Fantastic Four: First Steps is slated for release on 25 July 2025.

OnlyFans star Bonnie Blue's Instagram deleted after she reveals plans for her viral public stunt with 2,000 men
British OnlyFans sensation Bonnie Blue is back in the spotlight, only this time, it is not for her jaw-dropping goals but because her main TikTok and Instagram accounts have mysteriously vanished. And yes, it all happened just after she casually announced her plans to engage in an intimate marathon with 2,000 men. You read that right. Bonnie Blue's Instagram and TikTok have vanished! Bonnie, whose real name is Tia Billinger, made waves earlier this year by claiming she had been physically intimate with 1,057 men in just 12 hours. But now, the 26-year-old Nottinghamshire native said she wants to double down—literally. In a bold video shared on her now-gone @bonnie_blue_xox accounts, she revealed plans to top her previous record on 15th June, saying she would be tied up in a public glass box in London where people could 'either watch or get involved.' Bonnie Blue's confirmation If you just blinked, you missed it. As of June 2, her primary TikTok and Instagram handles, each boasting hundreds of thousands of followers—are completely gone. While the star herself has not confirmed if the takedown was voluntary or enforced, fans are speculating that platforms may have clapped back at her wildly NSFW stunt announcement. Bonnie's second Instagram account, @bonnieblue, and her backup TikTok still remain up, as does her X (formerly Twitter) page, so clearly, she is not going anywhere just yet. Before she became a headline-making adult creator reportedly raking in £750,000 a month, Bonnie worked in recruitment and was even married. But she ditched the desk job for the digital limelight, where she has become known for pushing boundaries, perhaps a little too far this time. Bonnie Blue's next challenge The 15th June event is still supposedly a go, although with her biggest platforms gone, Bonnie may have to find new ways to spread the word. Meanwhile, the internet is divided, some are calling her iconic, others are just stunned. OF model Bonnie Blue brags about her plans to sleep with 2,000 men in one day and be 'tied up in a glass box and open to the public.' Blue has told men to 'get involved or just walk around and watch' as she plans the shocking 2,000 man stunt. Whether you think it is performance art or PR chaos, one thing is for sure: Bonnie Blue knows how to get everyone talking. And now, she is got us all refreshing TikTok to see if she makes a comeback, or breaks the internet again.
