5 Vanessa Kirby performances you must watch before Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theatres
Vanessa Kirby is entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Sue Storm, aka Invisible Woman, in Fantastic Four: First Steps, but for fans who cannot wait till the film hits theatres, her past work is already a cinematic feast. From period dramas to explosive action blockbusters, the British actress has built an impressive resume over the last decade. Whether she is playing a rebellious royal or a cunning arms dealer, Kirby's performances are nothing short of captivating. Here are five roles that prove she has always had the power, even before joining the MCU. The Crown (2016–2017) Playing Queen Elizabeth II's younger sister in the first two seasons of Netflix's The Crown, Kirby gave us a version of Princess Margaret that was raw, rebellious and endlessly stylish. The role earned her an Emmy nomination and turned her into a global name. Even if you are not into monarchy drama, her emotional complexity will have you hooked. Pieces of a Woman (2020) Kirby gave one of the most gut-wrenching performances of her career as Martha, a grieving mother navigating unimaginable trauma. Her role in Pieces of a Woman earned her an Academy Award nomination and praise for portraying emotional pain with authenticity and restraint. It is a tough watch, but an essential one. The World to Come (2020) In this underrated indie gem, Kirby plays Tallie, a woman trapped in a toxic marriage who finds solace and love in an unexpected friendship with another farmer's wife. The chemistry, the heartbreak, the poetry of it all, The World to Come is a slow-burn masterpiece that lets Kirby's emotional range shine. Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018) Kirby joined the Mission: Impossible franchise in its sixth instalment as Alanna Mitsopolis, aka the White Widow, a seductive, calculating arms dealer. Paired against Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt, Kirby brought a sleek confidence and mystery to the role that made her unforgettable in a film packed with stunts and spectacle. Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning (2023) Her White Widow returned in Dead Reckoning with more screen time and an even more nuanced edge. Kirby added emotional stakes and charm to the high-octane chaos, proving she can hold her own in a franchise built on adrenaline. It is her best action performance yet, until Marvel, that is.

Congratulations are in order for who is pregnant with her first child! The mum-to-be announced her pregnancy while stepping out to promote her upcoming Marvel superhero film 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' at CCXP Mexico. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 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.
