The anticipation for Marvel's Fantastic Four: First Steps is reaching a fever pitch, and fans might not have to wait much longer for a glimpse of the action. Scheduled to hit theaters on July 25, 2025, alongside Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts, this film marks a significant entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase Six.
While many speculated that the first trailer would debut during the Super Bowl, an intriguing development has shifted expectations. A now-edited press release from ABC's Good Morning America suggested that the trailer could premiere on their show on February 4, 2025. The release initially stated that the show would feature "the debut of the 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' movie trailer," but this mention was subsequently removed.

Given that we're just months away from the film's premiere, a trailer is expected soon. Although a debut on Good Morning America might not have been as anticipated as a Super Bowl slot, it's a strategic move considering ABC is owned by Disney, the parent company of Marvel Studios.
The plot details for Fantastic Four: First Steps remain under wraps, but the cast has been revealed, sparking excitement. Pedro Pascal will portray Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby will take on the role of Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn is set to ignite screens as Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach will embody The Thing. Adding to the intrigue, Robert Downey Jr. has been confirmed to play Doctor Doom, raising questions about how Tony Stark transitions into this iconic villain.
As we approach the premiere of Fantastic Four, fans still have Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts to look forward to, rounding out Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Stay tuned for more updates as the excitement builds!
