Final Trailer For Marvel's THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Heralds The Arrival of Galactus
Marvel Studios has released the final trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps and this thing fires off lots of incredibly cool new footage that is sure to get fans excited about what’s coming.
One of the main things this trailer does is build up the treat of Galactus, and while it visually teases the massive villain, it still doesn’t offer a full look. But, The First Family sure has their work cut out for them! You also get to see The Thing sporting a beard.
“Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, 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.
“Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus' plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren't bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal.”
The movie is rooted in the old-fashioned optimism that inspired the comic that birthed the modern Marvel Universe in 1961. The director previously said:
“More than just the visual aesthetics, the ‘60s to me are all about optimism. It’s about looking to the stars and dreaming about traveling into space. It’s about how with the right heart and the right mind, you can do anything — which is what the Fantastic Four is all about.”
Directed by WandaVision’s Matt Shakman, the film boasts a high-profile cast led by Pedro Pascal (Reed), Vanessa Kirby (Sue), Joseph Quinn (Johnny), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben), with a supporting lineup that includes John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne, Paul Walter Hauser, and Sarah Niles in yet-to-be-revealed roles.
The script was originally written by Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer, it was revised by Cameron Squires and Avatar: The Way of Water co-writer Josh Friedman, with Eric Pearson (Thor: Ragnarok, Black Widow) giving it the final pass.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps in theaters on July 25, 2025.
