Marvel Studios has released some new product-based character posters for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, featuring all four members of the team advertising various items such as "Mirage Gloves" (Invisible Woman), and "Hot Aftershave" (The Human Torch).

30 minutes of the MCU reboot was screened at a press event in London yesterday, and we now have some more details on what was shown courtesy of MTTSH.

We already know that villains Puppet Master, Mad Thinker, Diablo, Red Ghost, and the Wizard are mentioned (we're not sure if they actually appear), and it's now being reported that we will see the Fantastic Four face-off against Mole Man's monster while wearing their classic black and blue costumes.

Check out the posters at the links below.

First Steps stars Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us, Freaky Tales) as Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby (Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning) as Sue Storm, aka the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things, A Quiet Place Day One) as Johnny Storm, aka The Human Torch, Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Punisher, The Bear) as Ben Grimm, aka the Thing, and Julia Garner (Wolf Man, Ozark) as the Silver Surfer.

Ralph Ineson will play Galactus, and Natasha Lyonne, Paul Walter Hauser and John Malkovich are also on board in undisclosed roles. 

"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."

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

I hate the retro-futuristic 60s setting.

I don't like the voice and Look of the Thing.

I am not sold on Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards.

I don't like the cgi on the female Silver Surfer.

I don't like that classic villains like Mole Man, Puppet Master, Red Ghost, Mad Thinker, Diablo and Wizard are wasted as background characters and that Galactus is the 1st villain they face.


No buildup with cosmic adventures with Kree Sentries, Skrulls etc.

I really hope that this movie falls, because this is not the way to treat Marvels first family.

Those are pretty cool…

Given their celebrity status and being the only heroes in their world , it makes sense they would do ads like this I feel.

Ben selling lotion is funny lol!!.

Shakman and Co. are doing everything right with this adaptation so far IMO; couldn’t imagine a more faithful depiction of what Stan and Jack created back in ‘61. This feels like it’s embracing the comic book roots and setting in a way that the other movies chose not to as they put potentially silly characters into our world and modern times and didn’t fit. We saw how introducing an MCU in their context really worked for Captain America in First Avenger making us bond with him in an innocent time then get to mix it up in Winter Soldier seeing him in a cynical time even more than Avengers 1.

@antariss - minus the casting and comic accuracy

@McMurdo - Haha! That’s always subjective and I’m old enough to remember the meltdown over Michael Keatons Batman casting, Hugh Jackman and Tobey MacGuire so it’s just part of the ride. I personally dig the cast and I wasn’t on team Pedro at first at all but I’ve been won over so far. I think the comic accuracy is more on point than most of the MCU to date; Baal switched from Radd is easily explained by this being 828 rather than 616. I have a feeling that SS will sacrifice herself and if so, fans would have gone nuts if Norrin Radd was introduced as a one and done in the MCU and even more obvious comparisons to the Fox sequel version.
