Marvel Studios Unveils First Trailer for 'The Fantastic Four; First Steps'

Marvel Studios has unveiled the first trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, marking the iconic superhero team’s long-awaited debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Directed by Matt Shakman, the film stars Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm (Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm (Human Torch), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm (The Thing). Set in a retro-futuristic 1960s, the movie follows the quartet as they defend Earth from the cosmic threat of Galactus, played by Ralph Ineson, and his herald, the Silver Surfer, portrayed by Julia Garner as Shalla-Bal.

The trailer offers a glimpse into the team’s dynamic, showcasing their powers and their lives in the Baxter Building, complete with their robot assistant, H.E.R.B.I.E. Notably, the film skips the traditional origin story, instead picking up after the team has already gained their powers from a spaceflight incident involving cosmic radiation. The footage highlights Johnny Storm’s fiery flight, Sue Storm’s force fields, and the looming threat of Galactus, who seeks to devour Earth.

While the trailer introduces key elements, several major characters, including Julia Garner’s Silver Surfer and John Malkovich’s mystery role, are notably absent. Additionally, Paul Walter Hauser’s rumored portrayal of Mole Man and Sarah Niles’ undisclosed character remain unseen. Speculation also surrounds Robert Downey Jr.’s rumored appearance as Doctor Doom, potentially in a mid- or post-credits scene.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is set to premiere in theaters on July 25, 2025, and will serve as a pivotal entry in the MCU, setting the stage for future team-up films. Fans can expect more reveals in subsequent trailers as the release date approaches.
