Has Marvel Studios Edited Sue Storm's [SPOILER] Out Of THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Trailer?

There's a great deal of intrigue surrounding the Invisible Woman's role in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, but has a moment in the trailer been edited to remove a potential spoiler? We believe so...

We've been hearing rumblings for a while now that Franklin Richards will factor into The Fantastic Four: First Steps and, eventually, Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars,

Marvel Studios has yet to confirm plans for the son of Reed Richards and Sue Storm-Richards, though fans remain convinced they've spotted evidence that the latter, played by Vanessa Kirby, is pregnant in the movie. 

In the scene where Johnny Storm "Flames On" as the Human Torch, a somewhat pregnant-looking Sue is shown being ushered to safety in the background. Then, there's what looked like a labour scene aboard a spaceship with Mister Fantastic comforting his wife. 

A familiar clip from The Fantastic Four: First Steps was shared on social media this past Sunday and, while it doesn't reveal anything we haven't already seen, it's allowed fans to watch a certain moment on repeat. 

Watching the way Kirby's Sue walks (waddles?) here, it's apparent Marvel Studios has edited out her baby bump; the giveaway is at the 0:03 mark. Your guess is as good as ours when it comes to why this is being kept a secret but chances are the Invisible Woman will spend the majority of this movie pregnant with Franklin.

Not only does that line up with the comics but it will up the stakes when Galactus arrives on Earth, particularly if there's any truth to the Eater of Worlds having an interest in Reed and Sue's child. 

This wouldn't be the first time Marvel Studios has pulled a trick like this either because we're sure you'll remember how the Spider-Men were edited out of Spider-Man: No Way Home's trailer...leaving The Lizard to take a kick to the face from an invisible foe later revealed to be Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker.

Take a look at this The Fantastic Four: First Steps clip below and let us know what you think in the comments section.

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.

Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, and Natasha Lyonne have been cast in mystery roles. 

Director Matt Shakman worked with both Avatar: The Way of Water co-writer Josh Friedman and WandaVision's Cam Squires on The Fantastic Four: First Steps' screenplay, with Eric Pearson (Black Widow) later coming on board for a final polish.

The movie is set to be released in theaters on July 25, 2025.

We did that in the 70s while smoking pot and eating brownies. I thought I saw God, but it was just George Carlin gassing up his motorcycle at a gas station up in Big Bear, CA.

That actually happened. I was 15. He was at the gas station filling up his bike with 3 other friends. He was my favorite comedian. We walked up and spoke to him, and he cussed us out and said "[frick] off! Does it look like I'm working?"

PLEASE, you, and EVERYONE, if you haven't already, embrace the One True Only God YHWH Jehovah, Only One Jesus Christ His Only Begotten Son and Lord and Savior of our souls and the Only One Holy Spirit. God is good. God is love. Jesus is Lord! Jesus IS coming. Your soul depends on it!

I have seen God act in my life. He saved my soul, changed my heart, changed my mind, helped people through me, took care of people in my life, people I hurt before I found God. God is the only reason I was able to reconcile with my dad before he died.

God worked through Jesus Christ to save our souls. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. Be baptized in The Holy Spirit, and if He wills, water as well. Repent of your sins, accept God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit into your heart, that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, that all who believe on Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father Jehovah God but through Him.

Not long after I got saved I prayed to God for help understanding the Holy Bible, and that same day someone knocked on my door asking me if I wanted to understand the Bible. I have had times where I was thinking about Holy Bible quotes and have stumbled across them flipping through The Holy Bible at random the same/next day and prayed to God for His joy to grant me comfort in hard times and felt it blessed upon me, and God's blessings of peace that have taken away a lot of my anger. God is here for you if you let Him guide you.

The Holy Bible says, "love thy enemy", "turn the other cheek", "If your enemy is hungry, feed him", "if he is thirsty, give him a drink", "pray for those who persecute you", "do not repay evil for evil".

LORD willing, all humans may commit sin of almost every kind (gay, straight), and that's wrong, and all humans sin, as God tells us through the The Holy Bible, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." The Holy Bible also says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.", "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." and, “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

@dagenspear - Thanks for the sermon haggenDass.
Youre one of those yaweh christians...
Im non denominational and was recently told I was going to hell for making an argument that God is an alien.
McMurdo
McMurdo - 2/11/2025, 6:45 PM
@AgentofSH1ELD - non denominational means your a biblical believer in Christ. If you think he's an alien, or God is an alien, you aren't non denominational. You simply have a denomination that pertains to the theory than aliens are God.
AgentofSH1ELD
AgentofSH1ELD - 2/12/2025, 12:38 PM
@McMurdo - haha nice. This is true. its like choosing to not decide is still making a choice.
I wonder if there is such a sect of Christianity that falls in line with my crazy personal belief.
mines more about definition though. Is God human? no. But (depending on what you believe) we were made in God's image. Is God from earth? No. If God is not from earth, and not a human then he is by definition, an alien.

Yeah , unless Vanessa Kirby just walks that way then they have definitely edited her being pregnant out.

They are just probably keeping it a surprise for the GA who have seen the previous FF screen iterations and don’t know that Reed & Sue have kids eventually…

Also if the rumors are true , Franklin will be key to the plot so best to keep that hidden to build intrigue more.

Anyway , can’t wait!!.

They should save their money and spend it on the VFX of the finished movie. 99% of the general public couldn't care less if she's pregnant or not but they do mind when The Thing looks so sh*t.

@bobevanz - the FF film will be held back not only by the casting choices, but moreso by the screen writer deciding to bring Franklin into the story and basing the entire plot around his importance.

Also I had no idea Mark Ruffalo already spoiled his cameo. That guy never learns.
