Marvel Studios unveils the first trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, promising a spectacular superhero film slated for 2025. The trailer showcases Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing, alongside the formidable villain, Galactus.
The visuals highlight the film's 1960s retro-futuristic aesthetic, beginning with a dinner scene at the Baxter Building. We get a clear look at Ben Grimm's transformation into The Thing, and a glimpse of H.E.R.B.I.E., both seemingly engrossed in culinary pursuits. Sue Storm's powers as Invisible Woman and Johnny Storm's fiery Human Torch form are also briefly displayed. Intriguingly, Reed Richards' elastic abilities as Mr. Fantastic are absent from the trailer.
A fleeting appearance by John Malkovich, rumored to be portraying Ivan Kragoff (Red Ghost), adds to the anticipation.
The trailer's launch event at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, featured cast members Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach interacting with enthusiastic fans.
Scheduled for release on July 25, 2025, the film boasts a star-studded cast including Ralph Ineson as Galactus, Julia Garner as Silver Surfer, Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne, and Sarah Niles. Matt Shakman directs, under the production of Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige.
