A new trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps will be released later today, and while we wait for that, another teaser is doing the rounds on social media.

Offering a closer look at a few of the scenes from yesterday's official trailer teaser (including Mister Fantastic's stretching powers), we also see Joseph Quinn's Human Torch taking delight in receiving adoration from one of his female fans. 

While we expect the MCU's Johnny Storm to be less of a player than the Variant portrayed by Chris Evans in the mid-2000s, the hero still having some traits of a ladies' man will be welcomed by fans. We've also heard that he'll have a thing for the female Silver Surfer, so don't fret, this is no chaste take on the Fantastic Four's resident hothead.

We'll have to wait and see how many new reveals today's trailer brings; Marvel Studios is either going to up the ante and drop some big reveals or continue saving the major surprises for the theatrical experience. 

"I was interested in a Johnny Storm who was more than just a ladies' man and adrenaline junkie," Quinn recently said of his approach to playing the MCU's Human Torch. "I was looking for somebody who could be a dreamer. And I think [Joseph Quinn] is an incredibly alive, spontaneous actor."

However, Johnny won't be humourless, something that's evident from Quinn describing his "method" approach to Johnny. "I tried that on day one. I turned up doused in gasoline, and Pedro was chasing me around with a match."

Discussing his co-stars, the Gladiator II star added, "Like with any family, there's times you want to kill them, but I love them to death. I would take a bullet for all three of them. That's a bit dramatic. But I love them dearly. You can't force this stuff."

Watch this new sneak peek for The Fantastic Four: First Steps below, and check back here later for the latest trailer.

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. Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom is rumoured to appear, though that's surely a given with Avengers: Doomsday on the way.

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.

@Urubrodi - a decade or so ago, this wouldve been an obvious joke.

Now, to say it is at least 50-50 is a travesty in itself 😅

Cool , can’t wait for the final trailer today!!.

Beside this , there is apparently a moment where Johnny flirts with Shalla Bal in the film so the ladies man element is still there if not quite as prevalent as Evans’s version.

@TheVisionary25 - Well to be fair, it's hard to beat the snowboarding -> flame on -> snow hot tub scene in the 2005 FF movie, but I don't think that this movie is trying to go there with Johnny's character. It seems clear (to me at least), that he's being portrayed as more of a "little brother" type, who's relatively immature for his age, but I bet he'll have his big "hero moment" where he stops screwing around and puts his big boy pants on and does something big and heroic (and likely grabs a kiss from a female bystander). Kinda seems like the vibe that they're going with for this version of Johnny.

I really hope this is good and does well. But its going to be hard.

The F4 have never really been considered "cool" characters to the general audience. And the brain dead decision to use Shalla Bal as Silver Surfer in the character's first MCU appearance is not going to help it.

@CorndogBurglar - general audiance like fox version with silver surfer and cloud galactus I saw people in theater that day people laughed this one hard to say fantastic four not really popular in comics as well most valuable book by fantastic four first appearance of team and dr doom with first appearance black panther that was before movie but first appearance of galactus and silver under people can’t buy under 300 ungraded doubt that issue has made big leap since then

@CorndogBurglar -

Here's something to blow your mind, the general audience doesn't care about a female silver surfer, it's only the typical crowd that screams about that kind of stuff.
CorndogBurglar
CorndogBurglar - 6/26/2025, 12:13 AM
@TrentCrimm - So do you think the decision to use the female Silver Surfer will have a negative or positive impact?
TrentCrimm
TrentCrimm - 6/26/2025, 2:02 PM
@CorndogBurglar -

Like I said, the general audience wont care, the only negative impact it's going to have is on the usual bigots who cry on the internet about females and people of color in their movies, and nobody gives a shit about those peoples opinions so it's irrelevant.

That aspect of the character, being male or female, will have no impact, positive or negative, with the general audience, because they dont care.
CorndogBurglar
CorndogBurglar - 6/26/2025, 2:14 PM
@TrentCrimm - Interesting. So you outright said that there would be people that would cause a negative impact over this.

In my comment you're replying to, I said this "And the brain dead decision to use Shalla Bal as Silver Surfer in the character's first MCU appearance is not going to help it."

So can you tell me where I'm wrong. If there are people that will cause a negative impact, as you admitted, then how does that help the movie?

TrentCrimm - 6/26/2025, 2:35 PM
@CorndogBurglar -

No man you're not getting it, you're talking about a very small, albeit loud, minority of nerds and bigots, they aren't a big enough majority to have any impact on the movie.
CorndogBurglar
CorndogBurglar - 6/26/2025, 2:38 PM
@TrentCrimm - It doesnt have to be a majority. If there are people who decide not to see this movie, and this is one of their reasons why, then it is having a negative impact and therefore is not helping the movie.

There's really no way you can deny that.
TrentCrimm
TrentCrimm - 6/26/2025, 2:58 PM
@CorndogBurglar -

If that's how you want to define it then it has no negative impact on the movie, plain and simple, that tiny subset of people who wont see the movie, wont have enough of an effect to help or hurt the movie, so them choosing to not see the movie, has no impact on anything meaningful outside of their own person opinions, and again, the planet as a whole, has decided that the opinions of ignorant bigots, do not matter.

It's pretty clear you're just part of that small subset of bigots, nothing I say here and no point I make is going to satisfy you, so on that uneventful note I'm out, cheers man.
CorndogBurglar
CorndogBurglar - 6/26/2025, 4:38 PM
@TrentCrimm - And there it is. I've said nothing offensive or bigoted. I'm talking about common sense. If a decision causes people, no matter how small the amount, to not go see a movie, then it isnt helping the movie. This isnt bigotry. Is undeniable fact. And rather than admit that what do you do? You call me a bigot. Classic.
