Additionally, we have brand new character descriptions for Marvel's First Family as well. Check it out.

Sue Storm: Sue possesses the superhuman ability to turn invisible, allowing her to sneak up on her enemies completely unnoticed. Sue can create force fields with her mind to attack villains and defend her team. When Sue isn't fighting alongside the Fantastic Four, she's saving the planet in other ways. As a founder of the Future Foundation, Sue works with charities and world leaders to uplift humanity and spread equality.

Reed Richards: Reed is a scientific genius and uses his incredible knowledge to create new technology and study outer space. Beyond his intellect, Reed possesses the superhuman ability to bend, stretch, and extend his body parts across far distances, allowing him to easily outmanoeuvre his opponents. With the combined powers of his mind and body, Reed fights to defend earth with the Fantastic Four.

Johnny Storm: Johnny can burst into flames, fly thousands of feet into the sky, and absorb explosions into his body, all without breaking a sweat. As the most popular member of the Fantastic Four, Johnny spends his weekends chasing thrills. But when the Fantastic Four are in the heat of battle, they can always count on Johnny to keep cool.

Benn Grimm: Ben can punch through walls, lift cars, and defeat villains using his impressive super-strength. Due to his background as an incredible fighter pilot, Ben always takes the wheel when the Fantastic Four are navigating missions in the sky. But don't be fooled by his hard exterior: Ben's close friendship with Reed Richards and the other members of the Fantastic Four gives this grump a soft side.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is set to make its grand debut on July 25, 2025, marking the 37th entry in the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe. As part of Phase 6, the film aims to reintroduce Marvel’s original superhero family with a fresh perspective, diving into the origins and early dynamics of the iconic team.

Leading the charge is Pedro Pascal, stepping into the role of Reed Richards, also known as Mister Fantastic, a visionary scientist whose intellect is rivaled only by his extraordinary elasticity.

Vanessa Kirby takes on the role of Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman, infusing the character with a blend of grace, resolve, and quiet strength.

Joseph Quinn brings fiery charisma to Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch, while Ebon Moss-Bachrach embodies Ben Grimm, the Thing, a rock-skinned brawler with a tough exterior and a loyal heart.

Ralph Ineson joins the cosmic scale of the story as Galactus, the planet-consuming force of nature, while Julia Garner takes on the mysterious mantle of the Silver Surfer, Galactus’ powerful herald.

Rounding out the ensemble cast are John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne, Paul Walter Hauser, and Sarah Niles in undisclosed roles.

Behind the camera, Matt Shakman directs the reboot, guiding a script that has undergone several rewrites. The original screenplay was crafted by Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer, followed by revisions from Cameron Squires and Avatar: The Way of Water co-writer Josh Friedman. Eric Pearson, known for his contributions to Thor: Ragnarok and Black Widow, handled the final polish.

Hints of the team’s arrival have already been planted in the MCU, notably through a post-credit tease in Thunderbolts*. With major roles reportedly lined up in Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, the Fantastic Four’s return is poised to reshape the future of the franchise in a big way.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps Official Synopsis: Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" introduces Marvel's First Family-Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Sue Storm/ Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ben Grimm/The Thing 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.

@SuperCat - I still hate how no movie mentioned Arishem. The closest we got was Brave New World

@SonOfAGif - The perfect place to resolve this plot point is Doomsday.

In the comics the incursions were the result of The Beyonders who lit the fuse that would eventually destroy the multiverse. The Beyonders were created by the Celestials who wanted to destroy and recreate the multiverse.

Arishem is returning for judgment. Doomsday is Judgment Day.

From the Doomsday Wiktionary page:
"From Middle English domes + dai, from Old English dom (“judgment”) + dæg (“day”)...
...(Christianity, Islam, Judaism, sometimes capitalized) Judgement day; the day of the Final Judgment; any day of decisive judgement or final dissolution."

Imagine Arishem returning in countless timelines at the same time to declare his judgment on the Earth, maybe even looking like the Jack Kirby Arishem in some of them.

@ObserverIO - It will be interesting how they go about it. They could even do it where He Who Remains and Kang's in general were an anomaly that were indirectly the protectors of their individual universe who would isolate them from the Celestials or reset them before Tiamut would be born. But when HWR died, It placed Universe 616 back into the Multiverse and Loki indirectly contributed to the Beyonders coming to delete each Universe the Celestials created to restart them as Arishem believes that Universe 616 is a threat that can educate other universes on how to stop Celestials from being born. This could explain Doom's rampage. Maybe his world was destroyed because he failed to stop Tiamut.

Galactus looks Fantastic!
Surprised they went with the glowing lenses rather than letting Ralph's eyes visible, comics Galactus is inconsistent on that front so it wouldn't be a shocking decision to keep them visible.

"Due to his background as an incredible fighter pilot, Ben always takes the wheel when the Fantastic Four are navigating missions in the sky."

I love that they're keeping this part of the original Fantastic Four comics alive (a part of their history that the sliding timescale has had to rewrite in 616). Both Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Pedro Pascal are the right age for their WWII past to stay intact in this movie.

With the look of Galactus, there is no place better than to watch him in action than on Imax.

And I love that they gave him Ineson facial features.

To be honest, him and Mister Fantastic in action, that’s what I’m looking forward to , the rest I believe we can expect what has been done before.

The first FF movie, they showed Reed in action but with ups grade in effects I’m hoping to see something much more fantastic… no pun.

For [frick]s sake
