Marvel Studios drops the official trailer for “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” reintroducing Marvel’s First Family with an emotional origin story. This Marvel Studios project will take viewers on a journey with Marvel’s “First Family”. This movie arrives in theatres on July 25.
“The Fantastic Four: First Steps” marks an exciting new chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, reintroducing Marvel’s original superhero team with a grounded, emotional origin story. Marvel fans got the information that some of The Fantastic Four team would be part of “Avengers: Doomsday.”Directed by a visionary newcomer, Matt Shakman, the film focuses on the early days of Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm as they grapple with the mysterious cosmic event that changes their lives forever. This Marvel Cinematic Universe project intends to revitalize the MCU.
Reboot of Marvel Franchise
Unlike previous (less than thrilling) adaptations, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” emphasizes character development over spectacle. Reed’s obsession with discovery, Sue’s drive to protect her family, Johnny’s impulsive spirit, and Ben’s inner turmoil are all explored with refreshing depth. Their transformation isn’t just physical—it’s emotional and psychological, as each character faces the consequences of newfound powers.

The film promises to shine in its human moments. Movie rumors indicate that Reed and Ben’s friendship, tested by guilt and responsibility, feels authentic. Also, Sue emerges as the emotional anchor, guiding the team through their transformation, while Johnny’s fiery enthusiasm adds levity and heart.
Visually, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” adopts a more realistic tone, balancing moments of cosmic grandeur with personal intimacy. The special effects support the story without overshadowing it.
With strong performances, emotional storytelling, and a promise of larger adventures ahead, this Marvel Cinematic Universe project intends to reboot the franchise—and reminds audiences why the Fantastic Four have always been so fantastic.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps Trailer
The trailer opens with people celebrating The Fantastic Four. After that, we meet H.E.R.B.I.E. helping Ben Grimm (The Thing). Viewers learn that an important plot point of this movie revolves around Reed Richards and Sue Storm having a child together. Marvel fans should know that this plot point leads to many future Marvel multiversal consequences, including Kang the Conqueror. It should be interesting to see what direction Marvel takes with that since the main Kang plot lines are gone due to Jonathan Majors being fired.
After that wonderful announcement, viewers see the Silver Surfer telling them the planet is marked for death. This plot point facing Galactus is common for The Fantastic Four. Reed Richards is asked, “Are we safe?” He says that he does not know. Towards the end of the trailer, Reed Richards, Mr. Fantastic, says that we will protect you. The trailer concludes with a gigantic, ominous figure stomping through the city.
Marvel fans still need answers about which multiverse The Fantastic Four exists in. Also, how will they transition from that time period to a more present age for “Avengers: Doomsday?” These answers are left for Marvel fans to learn at a later date.
