Marvel Studios has officially dropped the first trailer for Fantastic Four: First Steps, giving fans their long-awaited glimpse at the MCU’s first superhero family.
The trailer opens on an old television set, flickering before shifting to a shot of Vanessa Kirby’s Sue Storm, welcoming someone to the Baxter Building—the iconic headquarters of the Fantastic Four. Beside her stands Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic, dressed in a sleek, slim-fit coat.
A fresh, futuristic version of the Marvel Studios logo appears against a blue backdrop before the scene expands to showcase the towering Baxter Building.
The trailer then introduces Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm, aka The Thing, cracking a joke about H.E.R.B.I.E., the fan-favorite robotic assistant from the comics. We get our first look at Ben’s massive rocky form, licking his fingers, seemingly adjusting to his new existence. His blue and white turtleneck-style suit adds a retro yet fresh touch to the team’s classic aesthetic.
The tension builds as Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards is seen scribbling furiously on two massive blackboards, while Sue Storm demonstrates her invisibility in his arms. Meanwhile, Joseph Quinn’s Johnny Storm (Human Torch) ignites into flames, tearing through the sky.
The final moments of the trailer deliver a jaw-dropping tease—a colossal helmet casting a shadow over the city. As the camera pulls back, the terrifying realization sets in: It’s New York City. It’s Galactus. Played by Ralph Ineson, the planet-devouring entity looms near the Statue of Liberty, setting the stage for an epic cosmic showdown.
With stunning visuals, a retro-futuristic aesthetic, and a fresh new take on Marvel’s First Family, Fantastic Four: First Steps is shaping up to be one of the most exciting MCU films yet.
