Marvel Studios<\/a> dropped its first real look at Matt Shakman\u2019s The Fantastic Four: First Steps<\/a><\/em> today, featuring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Marvel\u2019s \u201cFirst Family,\u201d the Fantastic Four. <\/p>\n

Featuring the team already suited up and with their powers, living as down-home celebrities in a Tomorrowland <\/em>\u201960s aesthetic, the teaser shows off Sue Storm\u2019s invisibility, Ben Grimm\u2019s rocky exterior, Johnny Storm\u2019s flames, and even a quick shot of Galactus \u2014 but notably not<\/em> Reed Richards\u2019 stretching.<\/p>\n

A lot is riding on the Fantastic Four this time, with the film positioned to kick off \u201cPhase Six\u201d of the Marvel Cinematic Universe \u2014 a new, Kang-less future<\/a> that ideally clears the way for a better version of Avengers: Secret Wars<\/em><\/a> and the rise of Doctor Doom<\/a> as the franchise\u2019s chief villain \u2014 and the wreckage of three previous attempts<\/a> at a hit FF movie franchise that were \u201cfine\u201d<\/a> at their best and disasters more often<\/a>. The last time Marvel Studios parted the curtain to give a look at FF<\/em>, it was at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, where the Hall H audience got an early look at the movie\u2019s versions of the Fantasticar and Galactus<\/a>, voiced by The Green Knight<\/a><\/em>\u2019s Ralph Ineson.<\/p>\n

The Fantastic Four<\/em> cast includes Pascal as Mr. Fantastic, Kirby as the Invisible Woman, Quinn as the Human Torch, and Moss-Bachrach as the Thing, with Julia Garner as the Silver Surfer, and John Malkovich and Natasha Lyonne in undisclosed roles.<\/p>\n

The Fantastic Four: First Steps<\/em> hits theaters on July 25th. <\/p>\n
