Marvel fans, brace yourselves — the First Family has officially entered the MCU in style. The trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, directed by Matt Shakman, just dropped, and it's bursting with retro-futuristic flair, high-stakes cosmic drama, and, yes… Galactus.
Set in a vibrant, 1960s-inspired alternate Earth, the film introduces us to a bold new take on the iconic foursome: Pedro Pascal as the brainy and elastic Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as the fierce and graceful Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn bringing the heat as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach rocking it (literally) as Ben Grimm/The Thing.
But this isn’t your average origin story. First Steps dives straight into the chaos as the team must balance their newfound superpowers and complex family dynamics while fending off a planet-devouring cosmic threat: Galactus, played by the menacing Ralph Ineson. By his side? The silver-slick and mysterious Silver Surfer, portrayed by Julia Garner, adding layers of intrigue (and interstellar sass) to the MCU's latest space saga.
The supporting cast is equally stacked with names like Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne, and Sarah Niles, promising plenty of texture, heart, and wit. The screenplay, crafted by a powerhouse writers’ room including Jeff Kaplan, Ian Springer, Josh Friedman, Cameron Squires, Eric Pearson, and Peter Cameron, weaves the family-first heart of the Fantastic Four into a cosmic epic that looks anything but grounded.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theaters July 25, 2025, and if the trailer is anything to go by, Marvel is going full throttle on style, soul, and scale. This isn’t just the beginning of a new team—it’s a bold new chapter for the entire MCU.
