Marvel Studios dropped the first teaser for The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The film includes some A-List talent at the height of their powers. Chief among them Pedro Pascal (Narcos, The Mandalorian) as Dr. Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby (Mission Impossible) as Sue Storm aka The Invisible Woman, Evan Moss-Bacharach (The Bear) as Ben Grim aka Thing and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm aka The Human Torch.
Rather than retell an origin story, Marvel is taking a different approach. This time our heroes will be set back in time and must protect their 1960s-inspired retro-futuristic world from being devoured by the cosmic being Galactus and his soldier the Silver Surfer.
The look and feel of the trailer is awesome and reminiscent of the retro tone of Wonder Woman and Captain America: The First Avenger. In this case we even get a glimpse of Galactus, which already seems far better than amorphous cosmic hurricane like cloud depicted in 2007’s Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer.
The Fantastic 4: First Steps drops in theaters July 25, 2025. There are sure to be more trailers and tidbits as the film edges closer to its release, until check out the teaser here.
