Marvel Studios has officially unveiled a first look into the upcoming MCU adaption of The Fantastic Four. While there was a trailer showcased during Marvel's NYCC panel, it was not made public. Now everyone can get a first look at Marvel's First Family.
Have a look at the trailer below:
The official synopsis of the movie is as follows:
"Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios’ 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' introduces Marvel’s First Family—Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm/Human Torch and Ben Grimm/The Thing as they face their most daunting challenge yet."
The Fantastic Four in all their glory!
Look who showed up! It seems like Richards, the Storm siblings, and Grimm will be up against the big bad Galactus himself. This is sure to cause ripples across the MCU.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps cast includes Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian, Gladiator II) as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby (Mission Impossible: Fallout, Hobbs and Shaw) as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn (Gladiator II, A Quiet Place: Day One) as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Andor, The Bear) as Ben Grimm/The Thing. Joining them is Julia Garner (Ozark) as Silver Surfer, Ralph Ineson (The VVitch) as Galactus, and John Malkovic, Natasha Lyonne, and Paul Walter Hauser in yet unnamed roles.
Directed by Matt Shakman (It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Game of Thrones), The Fantastic Four: First Steps is scheduled to come out July 25, 2025.
It'll be interesting to see how the story ties into the upcoming event from Marvel Studios: Avengers Secret Wars.
