Talk about a seriously lucrative side hustle, should they choose to take advantage of it. A new study from BestAUCasinoSites estimates the cast of Marvel’s The Fantastic Four reboot — Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn – could rake in nearly $20,000 per sponsored Instagram post. Part of the MCU’s Phase Six, the highly anticipated The Fantastic Four premieres in theaters on July 25, 2025.
Research conducted by Australian online casino guide analyzed the announced cast's Instagram profiles. That data, combined with potential earnings calculated by the influencer marketing tool Hype Auditor, reveals just how much each member could earn from sponsored brand content posts. Hype Auditor looks at followers, likes, and engagement rates to determine potential post earnings.
“The involvement of these new cast members in the reboot will boost their online presence and earning capabilities, and this can be reinforced due to all members gaining a considerable amount of new followers in just one day,” says Margaret Cooper from BestAUCasinoSites.
Pascal Is the Most Influential ‘The Fantastic Four’ Cast Member
Pedro Pascal, who plays Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic in The Fantastic Four, is the most influential cast member thanks to his popular roles on The Mandalorian and The Last of Us. The BestAUCasinoSites study shows that he could earn up to $19,000 per sponsored Instagram post. This is due to his follower count of over 8.5 million and dedicated online fan base, with his high engagement rate of 9.63%.
Pascal also appears in the 2024 movies Freaky Tales, Drive-Away Dolls, and Gladiator II. He will reprise his role as Din Djarin in the major motion picture Mandalorian spin-off The Mandalorian & Grogu, scheduled for release in theaters on May 22, 2026.
Joseph Quinn Could Cash in $13,500 per Post
Joseph Quinn, who plays Johnny Storm/The Human Torch in The Fantastic Four, could earn an estimated $13,500 per sponsored Instagram post. Similar to Pascal, Quinn has a large following of 6.4 million, which increased by approximately 17,960 following the announcement that he joined the cast of The Fantastic Four.
English actor Quinn is best known for his breakout role as Dungeons & Dragons fanatic Eddie Munson on the fourth season of Stranger Things. In 2024, he will appear in the horror prequel A Quiet Place: Day One and opposite his The Fantastic Four costar Pedro Pascal in Gladiator II.
Ebon Moss-Bachrach Gained Thousands of New Instagram Followers
Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who plays Ben Grimm/The Thing in The Fantastic Four, can earn an estimated $4,400 per Instagram post thanks to his follower count of 260,000. Moss-Bacharach has the lowest follower count compared to his fellow cast members but gained 30,484 followers and counting since the announcement, according to analysis from Social Blade. Although Moss-Bacharach has a substantially lower follower count than costar Vanessa Kirby, his huge engagement rate of 14.91 places him higher in the rankings.
Moss-Bachrach is best known for playing restaurant manager Richie Jerimovich on The Bear, for which he won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. Elsewhere in the MCU, Moss-Bachrach played David “Micro” Lieberman on the first season of The Punisher. He also had roles on Andro, Girls, and NOS4A2.
Vanessa Kirby Could Flex Invisible Instagram Influence
Vanessa Kirby, who plays Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman and the sister of Johnny Storm in The Fantastic Four, could earn up to $3,700 per sponsored Instagram post. Despite ranking last when compared to her Fantastic Four costars, Kirby experienced the highest increase in followers, gaining an additional 32,822 followers since the announcement of the movie.
English actress Kirby is best known for playing Princess Margaret on The Crown. The rising star received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for her performance as Martha Weiss in Pieces of a Woman. She also appeared in the Mission: Impossible film series, Hobbs & Shaw, Everest, and Napoleon.
Will This Version of ‘The Fantastic Four’ Succeed Where Past Attempts Have Failed?
The Marvel cinematic multiverse has seen several incarnations of The Fantastic Four on-screen. 2005’s Fantastic Four and 2007’s Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer starred Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, and Michael Chiklis as the superheroes. A poorly received 2015 reboot starring Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, and Jamie Bell failed on every level. In 2022, John Krasinski played a version of Reed Richards, who was quickly killed off in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Here’s hoping the cast of the new The Fantastic Four leaves the multiverse in the rearview mirror and sticks around in this universe for a hot minute or two, especially with Pedro Pascal and Joseph Quinn on board. If nothing else, the cast stands to make a decent amount of pocket change if they monetize their Instagram accounts.
