Marvel Studios unveils the first trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, promising a spectacular superhero film slated for 2025. The trailer showcases Mr. Fantastic, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and The Thing, alongside the formidable villain, Galactus. The film's 1960s retro-futuristic aesthetic is prominently displayed, beginning with a dinner scene at the Baxter Building and hinting at a major New York showdown.
The trailer offers a compelling before-and-after glimpse of Ben Grimm's transformation into The Thing, alongside H.E.R.B.I.E., the team's robotic assistant, both seemingly engrossed in culinary activities. Sue Storm's Invisible Woman abilities and Johnny Storm's Human Torch powers are also briefly showcased, though Reed Richards' elastic Mr. Fantastic powers remain unseen. A notable appearance (or at least a hint) of John Malkovich, rumored to be portraying Ivan Kragoff (Red Ghost), adds to the anticipation.
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 boasts a star-studded cast including Ralph Ineson as Galactus, Julia Garner as Silver Surfer, Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne, and Sarah Niles. Matt Shakman directs, under the production of Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige.

Set in a vibrant, 1960s-inspired retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Marvel's First Family – Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn), and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) – as they confront their greatest challenge yet. Balancing their heroic duties with their familial bonds, they must defend Earth from the voracious space god Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus' planet-devouring scheme wasn't enough, things take a deeply personal turn.
Speculation abounds regarding Robert Downey Jr.'s potential return as Doctor Doom, either as a major or minor character, or even a post-credits tease. Feige has confirmed the Fantastic Four's appearances in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
