Marvel Studios unveils the first trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, promising a spectacular superhero cinematic experience slated for 2025.
The trailer showcases Mr. Fantastic, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and The Thing, alongside the formidable villain, Galactus. Opening with a dinner scene at the Baxter Building, the trailer highlights the film's stylish 1960s retro-futuristic aesthetic and hints at a thrilling New York showdown.
We witness Ben Grimm's transformation into The Thing, and a surprisingly culinary-focused scene featuring H.E.R.B.I.E., the Humanoid Experimental Robot B-Type Integrated Electronics.
Elsewhere, Sue Storm's Invisible Woman abilities and Johnny Storm's Human Torch powers are briefly displayed. However, Reed Richards' elastic Mr. Fantastic powers remain unseen in this initial trailer.
A notable appearance (however brief) is that of John Malkovich, rumored to be portraying Ivan Kragoff, also known as the Red Ghost.
The trailer premiered at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, with cast members Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach engaging with enthusiastic fans.
Scheduled for release on July 25, 2025, the MCU film also 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 head Kevin Feige producing.
