The Fantastic Four: First Steps Trailer Stars Pedro Pascal in a Retro MCU Adventure
The film is set to hit theatres on July 25, 2025.

The first trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps has been released, showcasing the MCU’s long-awaited introduction of Marvel’s “First Family.”
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).
The film features a retro-futuristic 1960s aesthetic, distinct from the actual 1960s, with a backdrop that emphasizes the space race.
The trailer introduces Galactus, portrayed by Ralph Ineson, as the primary antagonist, alongside a mysterious character played by John Malkovich.
Unlike previous adaptations, this film does not recount the origin story of the characters but begins after their transformation, allowing for a fresh narrative approach.
The official synopsis reveals that the team must defend Earth from Galactus and his herald, the Silver Surfer (played by Julia Garner).
The Fantastic Four: First Steps is directed by Matt Shakman, known for his work on WandaVision, and is set to hit theatres on July 25, 2025. The film is part of Phase Six of the MCU and aims to blend family dynamics with superhero action.
This new iteration of the Fantastic Four follows previous attempts that did not resonate well with audiences, marking a significant moment for Marvel as they integrate these iconic characters into their cinematic universe.
