Michael Giacchino's "Main Theme" For THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Has Finally Been Officially Released

Michael Giacchino's "Main Theme" for The Fantastic Four: First Steps has finally been released in its entirety, and this will almost certainly be the best thing you hear today. Listen to it here...

Michael Giacchino might have the most impressive discography of any composer working in Hollywood today. As a reminder, his credits include Up, Star Trek, Jurassic World, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Coco, The Batman, and countless others.

Next up for the Werewolf by Night director is The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and his "Main Theme" for filmmaker Matt Shakman's new take on Marvel's First Family has finally been released in its entirety. 

It's another theme that feels destined to become iconic. Listening to it, it's easy to imagine the theme becoming synonymous with the Fantastic Four in the coming years as they become fully entrenched in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

"I was just on set for a week," Giacchino recently explained. "It was just something to see real sets everywhere. There wasn't a Volume or a green screen to be found. It was just beautiful sets. They're doing such incredible work and the actors all look amazing."

Discussing his approach to this theme, the composer added, "The inspiration for me was a mixture of Tomorrowland, what that represents, the Disneyland Electric Lights parade, the incredible synth work that was done for that, and then The Right Stuff."

"To me, the Fantastic Four was all of those things, and it needed to have a sense of hope and optimism in a way that frankly no other Marvel movie has done yet," Giacchino concluded.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps' "Main Theme" will also be released on vinyl as a single, along with a newly announced track called "Let Us Be Devoured," written and performed by Andrea Datzman (Inside Out 2). Hopefully, more details on the soundtrack will be revealed soon. 

Listen to Giacchino's "Main Theme" for the highly anticipated reboot below.

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.

@JustAWaffle - I haven’t been impressed by any of Michael Giacchino‘s work… and there is a LOT of it.

@Lisa89 - To be fair his work on The Incredibles was pretty awesome

Lisa89 - 6/6/2025, 4:57 AM
@DarthMauve - That’s the problem. I’ve seen ‘The Incredibles’ more than any other Pixar film, but couldn’t hum the score even if there were a hefty cash prize on the line.

@Lisa89 - I can't recite a single theme from any of the MCU's 30+ themes, except the Avengers main score by Alan Silvestri. I will probably remember this one (FF) because it is quite melodic.

@Lisa89 - I hear ya, although I think this score is pretty good, like, one of the best comicbook movie scores in a while, or at least, amongst many less iconic & hummable scores. Superhero movies used ta have catchy melodious themes...kind of a dying art. But I do agree - I've never been much impressed with Giacchino's music with very few exceptions.

@DarthMauve - Spider-Man Homecoming Suite and its variants is the best from Giacchino imo and it has been too underrated.

Shouldve been on the same level of recognition as some of the most iconic themes out there

@GeneralZod - try listening to Giacchino's Spider-man Homecoming suite. It is underrated imo.

@GeneralZod - Thor 1. Best MCU theme by far.

I also liked the Ant-Man one, and also Dr. Strange's.

THIS MOVIE IS TRASH.

THIS SCORE IS TRASH.

WE ALL KNOW IT.

YOU GIVE UNTALENTED HACKFRAUDS CARTE BLANCHE, AND THEY GET A GOOD COMPOSER TO MAKE THIS SHIT, AND INSTEAD OF ASKING FOR A DO-OVER, THEY SIGN OFF ON IT.

@Fogs - Dr. Strange is one of the better ones. But it's basically just John William's Harry Potter score but changed just enough to avoid a lawsuit.

It's fittingly magical.

How big are we takin' here?

$500 m?

$800 m?

Neither if which is that impressive for $400 budget tentpoles in 2025.

In 2012, sure.

That aside, I like it. Has a solid enough balance between 60s-ish vibes and the usual Marvel themes. Nothing really memorable though.

I watched it.

It's non canon woke fan film trash.

There is no way the third act would happen.

Not a bad theme overall. It does sound more unique than most superhero themes. But I got to be honest the fact that the choir in the song belts out "FANTASTIC FOUR!!" really takes me out of it. A little too corny for me.

I know being corny is part of the f4s charm and I appreciate everything else about the movie but singing the name of the superhero/team that your theme is for is almost like the song reminding you "remember this is for the fantastic four"

Aside from that it's alright. Still excited as hell for the movie.

@Mrcool210 - I get what you mean..

It is a bit corny and initially did take me out a bit when we first heard it but it’s grown on me since then and become oddly charming lol

I do understand if that bit doesn’t work for everyone
