Marvel‘s First Family is back in action in the new trailer for Marvel Studios’ “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.”
The four leads are Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic; Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, aka the Invisible Woman; Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch; and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm, aka the Thing. The cast also includes Ralph Ineson as the planet-devouring villain Galactus, Julia Garner as the Silver Surfer, Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne and John Malkovich.
“The Fantastic Four: First Steps” marks the official MCU introduction of the superhero team after Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox and its assets, which includes the X-Men. Don’t expect any other Marvel heroes to pop up in the movie (unless there are some multiverse hijinks) because “Fantastic Four” takes place in an alternate, retro-futuristic 1960s Manhattan, where it appears they’re the only heroes around as of now.
Two previous Fantastic Four teams came to theaters via 20th Century Fox before Disney acquired the company and worked toward bringing Marvel’s First Family to the MCU. In the 2000s, Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis played the heroes in two movies, then a disastrous 2015 reboot brought in Miles Teller, Kata Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell.
The Fantastic Four has been hinted at before in the MCU. In “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” John Krasinski briefly appeared as Mister Fantastic before getting violently killed off, and Chris Evans, now better known as the MCU’s Captain America, reprised his Human Torch in “Deadpool & Wolverine” before meeting a similar fate.
