The Fantastic Four: First Steps Trailer Finally Brings Marvel's First Family Into the MCU, Teases Galactus' Arrival

by Sebastian Feb 28,2025

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.

Here's the official synopsis:

Set in a vibrant, 1960s-inspired retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Marvel's First Family – Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn), and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) – as they confront an unprecedented threat. Balancing their heroic duties with their familial bonds, they must defend Earth from the voracious space god Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). But Galactus's planet-devouring scheme takes a deeply personal turn.

Speculation swirls around Robert Downey Jr.'s potential return as Doctor Doom, either in a major role or a post-credits cameo. Feige has confirmed the Fantastic Four's appearances in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
