THE FANTASTIC FOUR: First Look At Galactus Revealed During SDCC Drone Show As Marvel Teases Hall H Plans

Marvel Studios screened Deadpool & Wolverine for lucky fans in Hall H yesterday evening and, to wrap up Thursday's Comic-Con offerings, the streets of San Diego were lit up with an epic drone show. 

That culminated with the surprise appearance of Galactus, The Fantastic Four logo, and a message for fans to stay tuned for even bigger reveals during Marvel Studios' panel this Saturday.

While The Fantastic Four has only recently started shooting, we're hearing that a sizzle reel is possible along with a first look at Marvel's First Family suited up. Back to this drone show and not only is this our first glimpse at the MCU's Galactus, but it also serves as confirmation we're getting a comic-accurate take on the villain instead of another cloud!

Take a closer look at the massive Galactus' arrival in San Diego in the X post below.

As noted, most of the drone show was dedicated to Deadpool & Wolverine. You can check out more highlights from the "Ultimate Celebration of Life" here:

"I’m not someone who knows the whole lore of Marvel," Ineson previously said when asked about his role in The Fantastic Four"My son is an expert. He’s been schooling me for the last couple of months. I read the script and I was like, 'It’s cool as f*ck.'"

"I'm just happy to be a part of this absolutely insane, huge world. It's Galactus man," he added. "There's a lot to be excited about."

As for whether the actor sees himself playing the villain for a long time, Ineson responded, "Yeah, that would mean the films are successful. That's a good outcome for everybody involved, but obviously for me."

Marvel Studios has announced that Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm/Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm/Human Torch), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben Grimm/The Thing) will lead The Fantastic Four cast. Julia Garner has also joined the reboot as Shalla-Bal/Silver Surfer.

Recent additions to the cast include Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, and Natasha Lyonne in mystery roles, along with Ralph Ineson as the villainous Galactus.

Director Matt Shakman worked with both Avatar: The Way of Water co-writer Josh Friedman and WandaVision's Cam Squires on The Fantastic Four's screenplay, with Eric Pearson (Black Widow) recently coming on board for a final polish.

The movie is set to be released in theaters on July 25, 2025.

I'm kinda expecting something more in line with the Celestials' design, but I would be amazed if they're actually going with the classic comic design.

@bkmeijer1 - yeah, I hope Galactus doesn’t look like a Celestial

@narrow290 - I wouldn't mind it, as long as he's still recognizable as the Galactus from the comics

Galactus looking like Galactus. Ok

I like how Shakman handled Monarch so I have a bit of hope for this.

@vectorsigma - Momarch was fine, although I don't like the portal stuff. That already started with GvK though, so that's not Shaman's fault

@bkmeijer1 - yeah, not his fault.

Also liked Wandavision, at least the first few episodes with the different eras

@bkmeijer1 - @vectorsigma - Not an insult to the overall writing construction of the show, but I refer to it as:

Let's try and explain the crazy monsterverse nonsense with some kind of groundedness. lol

That’s really cool!!.

If that is indeed Galactus’s look from the film itself then it would just be crazy since the last time he was on screen so to speak , dude was just a cosmic cloud due to Fox being afraid of the character coming off potentially ridiculous at the time…

It just shows how comic book movies have evolved in the last almost 2 decades for the most part and Galactus is a microcosm of that.

@TheVisionary25 - I'm still baffled by that logic. A cloud is so much weirder than a big dude. If they wanted to change it, they could've just made Galactus the height of a skyscraper
