Marvel Studios unveils the first trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, promising a major superhero spectacle for 2025. The trailer showcases Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing, alongside the formidable villain, Galactus.
The film's 1960s retro-futuristic aesthetic is highlighted by a scene set in the Baxter Building, followed by a potential New York showdown. We see Ben Grimm's transformation into The Thing, and both he and H.E.R.B.I.E. (the Humanoid Experimental Robot B-Type Integrated Electronics) are shown engaging in culinary activities. Sue Storm's Invisible Woman abilities and Johnny Storm's Human Torch powers are also briefly displayed, though Reed Richards' stretching powers remain unseen in this initial glimpse. A notable appearance is made by John Malkovich, rumored to be portraying Ivan Kragoff, also known as the Red Ghost.
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 stars Ralph Ineson as Galactus, Julia Garner as Silver Surfer, and also features Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne, and Sarah Niles. Matt Shakman directs, with Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige producing.
