New York Comic-Con is starting to heat up, and before the panels get underway (The Penguin's is just starting), Marvel Studios has unveiled a new mural spotlighting several MCU heroes and villains.

Though he (or she?) did appear briefly in the leaked trailer, the banner gives us a first proper look at H.E.R.B.I.E. the robot from The Fantastic Four: First Steps. We also get our best look yet at Red Hulk (Harrison Ford) from Captain America: Brave New World, a silhouetted glimpse of some of the Thunderbolts, and more.

We're still not sure who is providing the voice of H.E.R.B.I.E., but there's some speculation that it might be Natasha Lyonne, whose role in the upcoming reboot has yet to be confirmed (we'd say she's more likely to be playing Alicia Masters, but you never know).

Check out the full banner below along with some close-up shots of H.E.R.B.I.E. and Red Hulk.

Pedro Pascal (Game of Thrones, The Last of Us), will play Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby (Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning), will play Sue Storm, aka the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things, A Quiet Place Day One), will "flame on" as Johnny Storm, aka The Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Punisher, The Bear), will play Ben Grimm, aka the Thing. 

Julia Garner will debut as the Shala-Bal version of the Silver Surfer, while Galactus has also been confirmed as the main villain. He'll be played by Ralph Ineson (The Witch, Game of Thrones). Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, and Natasha Lyonne have also been cast in undisclosed roles.

Kevin Feige recently confirmed that the movie will take place in an alternate universe, but we know that Marvel's First Family will appear in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, so we wouldn't be surprised if they find their way into the main MCU timeline by the end of this movie.

Shooting is now underway, and some set photos have started to show up online.

Matt Shakman directs The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which is set to hit theaters on July 25, 2025.

The inclusion of HERBIE has me worried, he’s universally detested by FF fans.

@soberchimera - naw. this ain't true. I know alot of FF fans that like Herbie. Especially compared to She-Thing, lol

@DarkeyeZ - Considering he was created solely because they couldn’t use Human Torch in a cartoon that was so bad it only lasted a single season (even Stan Lee admitted the show’s poor quality), I’d say at best some FF fans just TOLERATE Herbie.

@soberchimera - Marvel loves that comedy soooo much though.

That's a really smart design for HERBIE, making his face a magnetic tape drive.

HERBIE looking real good. Hope he sounds exactly like he did in the cartoon. Get Frank Welker back!

@ObserverIO -

Word is that HERBIE is the part they got Natasha Lyonne for, which I'm more than happy with. Granted, I wanted Stephen Merchant with his classic Wheatley shenanigans from Portal 2, but still, great pick!

@DrReedRichards - I'm low key hoping that Natasha Lyonne is Medusa. With this movie having a larger breadth of story (or seeming to at least) I think there's room for all kinds of FF characters and storylines to make appearances. We already know Mole Man's gonna be in there somewhere.

that goofy looking robot thing is gonna make billions of millions of money when the marketing for ff4 hits, it'll out sell both baby yoda, baby dancing groot and WALL-E all combinded. I've already pre-ordered the funko pop.

Is that a female Galactus?

@narrow290 - Yes. Apparently that is something we are getting in What If Season 3 🙄

*looks closer*

Uuh actually I'm giving this a pass. Can we get her sooner?

@narrow290 - So you want Galactus to be the same exact thing every single time across the infinite multiverse?

@Reginator - The boobs kinda threw me off..

@cubrn - I mean, I at least want a comic accurate take on him his 1st outing. is that too much to ask?
cubrn
cubrn - 10/17/2024, 12:17 PM
@narrow290 - Is he not comic accurate in Fantastic Four?
SKetCH
SKetCH - 10/17/2024, 12:19 PM
@mountainman - Umm... no.

First, it's not a female Galactus, it's his daughter, Galacta. She's canon and not a new character.

Lastly, this isn't for 'What If', it's for the video game Marvel RIVALS. She's been featured numerous times in the games marketing videos.

The more you know...

Natasha Lyonne as HERBIE sounds pretty funny tbh

Storm is on the side with the live action characters and not on the side with the What If characters 🧐
SKetCH
SKetCH - 10/17/2024, 12:21 PM
@mountainman - Don't think too hard on it. Storm is in a letter with COMIC book characters. Don't forget where all these characters come from.

MotherGooseUPus - 10/17/2024, 12:23 PM
@mountainman - i noticed that as well... but i cant think of an upcoming movie where she would show up??
mountainman
mountainman - 10/17/2024, 1:23 PM
@MotherGooseUPus - Outside of the multiverse Avengers movies, none stand out to me either.

Maybe it’s X-Men 97 Storm since it’s the costume she ended up with at the end of the season.

@mountainman - Marvel is more than just the MCU, to me it looks like it goes from left to right "comics - MCU- videogames"

With the recent negative test screenings of Captain America: Brave New World, what will happen next? Will they do more reshoots? Will the film be delayed? Will they release what they already have despite the Negative Response?
HOTSHOT
HOTSHOT - 10/17/2024, 11:56 AM
@tb86 - I really want that movie to be good but everything in my gut is telling me it won't be.

From the extensive reshoots, it going over-budget, the lack of a hook in the trailer, and the plot leaks (if they're real).

Herbie is in this lol? Haha I actually kind of love that.
