As expected, Marvel Studios debuted another teaser for The Fantastic Four: First Steps during game 4 of the NBA Western Conference Finals last night, even though it wasn't exactly the new look at the MCU reboot fans were hoping for.

The spot reuses and mixes around a lot of footage from the recent full trailer, but there are a couple of new shots in there.

In addition to a quick glimpse of Galactus' immense shadow looming over the city, we see Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby) watching H.E.R.B.I.E. the robot flying towards what appears to be the Fantasticar launch pad we saw in that first batch of set photos.

Prior to First Steps entering production, we heard that the Invisible Woman was going to be the main focus of the movie. We're sure the other members of the team won't be given short shrift, but the story revolving around Sue's pregnancy does likely mean that she will be at the forefront.

A recently-released character description for this latest big-screen on Sue Storm reads: "Sue possesses the superhuman ability to turn invisible, allowing her to sneak up on her enemies completely unnoticed. Sue can create force fields with her mind to attack villains and defend her team. When Sue isn't fighting alongside the Fantastic Four, she's saving the planet in other ways. As a founder of the Future Foundation, Sue works with charities and world leaders to uplift humanity and spread equality."

First Steps also stars Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us, Freaky Tales) as Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic,, Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things, A Quiet Place Day One) as Johnny Storm, aka The Human Torch, Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Punisher, The Bear) as Ben Grimm, aka the Thing, and Julia Garner (Wolf Man, Ozark) as the Silver Surfer.

Ralph Ineson will play Galactus, and Natasha Lyonne, Paul Walter Hauser and John Malkovich are also on board in undisclosed roles. 

Kevin Feige has confirmed that the movie will take place in an alternate universe, but we know that Marvel's First Family will appear in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, so we wouldn't be surprised if they find their way into the main MCU timeline by the end of this movie.

Spoilers follow.

We actually see the team arriving to the main 616 universe in Thunderbolts' post-credits scene.

"Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 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 face their most daunting challenge yet.

Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus’ plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren’t bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal."

Matt Shakman directs The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which is set to hit theaters on July 25, 2025.

Wake me when they finally show Reed actively using his powers to manipulate something. Are they STILL working on those shots?

@0bstreperous - honestly the FF works best in a 1960s or 70s setting, theyre just too quirky for a modern day interpretation, Marvel has the right idea here

Doesn't Galactus eat worlds? How can he be walking around on Earth? I remember the 80s Secret Wars and Galactus wasn't walking around on Battleworld. He seems like Pacific Rim/Godzilla territory here. The design looks good.

@JacobsLadder - He can alter his size to whatever he pleases. Even human if he desires.

@Irregular - Oh, ok. I didn't know that. I don't remember reading a lot of comics with Galactus back in the day.

"Doesn't Galactus eat worlds?"

Not with his mouth.

@JacobsLadder - he doesn't eat them like you eating a hamburger. "Eating worlds" means he has a machine that drains the power and life out of a planet with his machines to give him energy.

@IronMan616 - lol. I should have been more specific. Now that you mentioned it, seeing Galactus eat Earth like a cheeseburger is something I definitely would pay to see.

So the ship at the end of Thunderbolts* only had Franklin on it. The FF die on there plantet.

@HammerLegFoot -
Yea, let's kill off the FF after the first movie.
HammerLegFoot
HammerLegFoot - 5/27/2025, 12:38 PM
@Goldboink - I didnt say kill off.
McMurdo
McMurdo - 5/27/2025, 12:42 PM
@HammerLegFoot - how are you coming to that conclusion. Zero chance the FF aren't on that ship.
HammerLegFoot
HammerLegFoot - 5/27/2025, 12:58 PM
@McMurdo - Galactus is after the boy they put the boy on the ship to get him outta there as the world is being destroyed. They stay back to fight Galactus
McMurdo
McMurdo - 5/27/2025, 1:21 PM
@HammerLegFoot - okay I see now but then how do you suppose the FF get to 616? via Franklin?
HammerLegFoot
HammerLegFoot - 5/27/2025, 1:23 PM
@McMurdo - Thats where I'm having trouble with my theory. Does Franklin somehow bring them? OR something/someone else? But I guess we'll find out in a few weeks.
McMurdo
McMurdo - 5/27/2025, 1:28 PM
@HammerLegFoot - yeah. I hadnt realize sue was sending Franklin in that new clip but it's also possible they somehow end up getting on that ship before the planet blows.
HammerLegFoot
HammerLegFoot - 5/27/2025, 1:38 PM
@McMurdo - Thats true to. Cause there's also a clip of Sue looking down at something and she's crying and it looks like shes on a ship but not in uniform

Of course Invisible WOMAN is the most powerful member of the team. They also made a huge deal of this in the comics as societal changes came along. Then she got naughty with Namor.

You go girl.

Goldboink - 5/27/2025, 11:49 AM
@DocSpock -
She should be standign two feet behind Reed and to his left and speak only when spoken to.

@DocSpock - the closer this gets the worse it looks. The casting is way off here.

@Goldboink -

She should be making some sandwiches first.
Goldboink

That would be after taking care of her marital duties.

I am worried it will be good, but have mediocre box office because they have hurt the brand so much with the last 5 years of mostly lousy movies and D+ shows.
DocSpock
DocSpock - 5/27/2025, 12:05 PM
@Goldboink -

Squeak squeak. Yeah. Get me a beer Sue.
JacobsLadder
JacobsLadder - 5/27/2025, 12:14 PM
@DocSpock - it's not going to smash at the box office unless it's really [frick]ing good and positive word-of-mouth is abound. I'm guessing $600 million is the high water mark at this point.
