Marvel Studios unveils the first trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, offering a captivating glimpse into one of 2025's most anticipated superhero films. The trailer showcases the iconic quartet – Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, 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. A potential New York battle sequence is also teased. We see Ben Grimm's transformation into The Thing, and both he and H.E.R.B.I.E. (the Humanoid Experimental Robot B-Type Integrated Electronics) are shown in a culinary context.
Sue Storm's Invisible Woman abilities and Johnny Storm's Human Torch powers are briefly showcased, while Reed Richards' elastic Mr. Fantastic powers are notably absent from this initial trailer. A fleeting appearance by John Malkovich, rumored to be playing Ivan Kragoff (the Red Ghost), adds to the intrigue.
The trailer's launch event took place at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, where stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach interacted with enthusiastic fans.
Scheduled for release on July 25, 2025, the film stars Ralph Ineson as Galactus and Julia Garner as Silver Surfer, alongside Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne, and Sarah Niles. Matt Shakman directs, with Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige producing.
