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

Marvel Studios hosted an epic drone show in San Diego a few hours ago and it concluded with a first look at The Fantastic Four's Galactus and the promise that more is to come in Hall H this weekend...

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

@narrow290 - Doesn't Galactus look different for everybody? I remember seeing a panel where a rat looked up and saw a rat-Galactus.

@bkmeijer1 - then people will be complaining galactus is not comic accuate as with wolverine , Wanda , I don’t feel like naming list

bkmeijer1 - 7/26/2024, 8:54 AM
@dragon316 - true, people woll always be complaining. With any adaptation, I just wanna see something new that's still recognizable as the source

@ObserverIO - Fun fact: Galactus isn't the cloud. Galactus is in the cloud. You can see his silhouette in the movie. I know it sucks for a fans of the comics, but I kinda get the creative decision to not show him. I don't think general audience were ready for a giant planet eating space person to just pop up. So they framed it as more of a natural disaster.

@ObserverIO - IDK why everyone hated this... They just didn't show Galactus, he was always just offscreen with his large vaccuum causing the cloud/suction at Earth. #Spaceballs

Galactus looking like Galactus. Ok

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

bkmeijer1 - 7/26/2024, 5:28 AM
@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
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 7/26/2024, 5:47 AM
@bkmeijer1 - yeah, not his fault.

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

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
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 7/26/2024, 6:03 AM
@bkmeijer1 - they just wanted to hide it , they didn’t care how lol

@bkmeijer1 - I mean, I would have been OK if they had gone with a colorful nebula thing that at certain points has the intensity of some points of light within increase to form the appearance of a recognizable Galactus face but grey gas cloud was dumb as frick when you compare to what TV shows like Star Trek TNG, DS9 and Voyager pulled off fairly regularly in the 80's and 90's with various forms of 'space clouds'

@Ryguy88 - Still want Norrin for the main SS in the prime timeline but for a one off appearance I'd rather look at a nekkid silver female than a nekkid silver man end of that day, lol.

@Apophis71 - let's be real, any apparent female sexuality in this will be at a minimum, if any.

I'm in awe of drone shows. The sheer precision and logistics!

Say about the original Fantastic Four movies what you want, but the theme was perfect. I will miss it so much!

That's just promo art...we all know Galactus is a huge smoke cloud.

Helmet detail looks a little weird. I'm guessing we'll see concept art of Galactus as they've not filmed anything.

It's rather dishonorable to make the title of the article misleading like that.

GALACTUS gonna be a DISCO King.

Bust some moves.

If they make F4 a SERIOUS, HARDCORE, COSMIC, SCI-FI ADVENTURE with no COMEDIC/FUNNY NONSENSE then it would have a chance of really being something special, but if they go the SILLY/COMEDIC route, NO THANKS.

@kirbyfan - Johnny Storm has to be silly. Part of the team charm are the different personalities.
