3. The Trailer: A Retro-Futuristic Marvel

 

Marvel Studios dropped the highly anticipated first trailer for Fantastic Four: First Steps in February 2025, giving fans a taste of what’s to come. The film's setting is a retro-futuristic 1960s-inspired world that embraces the optimism and space exploration ethos of the era, while also introducing a unique alternate Earth within the multiverse.

 

In the trailer, we see glimpses of the Fantastic Four in action, with Johnny Storm soaring through the skies, Sue Storm generating powerful force fields, and Ben Grimm showing off his massive strength. While Reed Richards’ signature stretchy abilities are notably absent, it’s clear that the film will focus on the familial dynamics of the team, which is a core aspect of their identity.

 

Additionally, the trailer teases the arrival of Galactus, with the giant cosmic villain looming over New York City, making his long-awaited MCU debut. However, there’s still no official look at Doctor Doom, although rumors suggest that he may appear in a post-credits scene.

 

 

 

4. Story Predictions: What’s in Store for the Fantastic Four?

The core conflict of Fantastic Four: First Steps will center around Galactus, the planet-devouring cosmic being, and his herald Silver Surfer. With the Fantastic Four’s world at stake, they must protect their alternate Earth from the looming destruction of this cosmic titan.

 

 

Additionally, there are strong hints that Doctor Doom, one of the team’s most iconic villains, will play a role, potentially setting up future MCU films. With the Fantastic Four confirmed to appear in Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, it’s safe to say that this film will have lasting consequences on the broader MCU timeline.

 

 

 

5. How Fantastic Four: First Steps Fits into the MCU

Fantastic Four: First Steps will be a key part of the MCU’s Multiverse Saga, with the film’s setting on an alternate Earth. This unique take will allow the Fantastic Four to exist within their own world while still being a part of the MCU. Their eventual introduction to the main MCU timeline may play a crucial role in the upcoming Avengers films.

 

 

Kevin Feige has hinted that the film will explore the Fantastic Four’s long-standing absence in the MCU, with the team possibly being pulled into the present-day timeline via a multiverse plot.

 

 

 

6. Final Thoughts: Why You Should Be Excited

 

The Fantastic Four reboot is one of the most anticipated MCU films of the next few years, and for good reason. With a star-studded cast, a fresh take on the characters, and a setting that taps into the optimism of the 1960s, First Steps promises to be a thrilling new chapter in the MCU. The introduction of Galactus and potential for Doctor Doom to make his mark only adds to the excitement.
