Marvel Studios brought a new trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps to CinemaCon this afternoon and wowed those in attendance with a first look at Silver Surfer and a big Sue Storm reveal. 

We first speculated about this months ago, but the Invisible Woman will indeed be pregnant in the highly anticipated reboot. Franklin Richards' MCU debut is now on the horizon, and with Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars fast approaching, that should be a game-changer for the upcoming conflict with Doctor Doom. 

The footage hasn't been officially released as we write this; however, tomorrow is 4/4, so we'd bet on something for The Fantastic Four: First Steps being shared by Marvel Studios to mark the occasion. 

Here's a detailed description of the trailer courtesy of Discussing Film

"The footage opens with our titular family/superhero group being brought onto a talk show, it is established that the Fantastic Four have been around for a good while in this alternate universe of the MCU and are beloved by their society. Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby) and Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal) arrive late to dinner with Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bacharach), but to make up for it, she announces that she is pregnant. Johnny congratulates the couple, saying Sue will make a great mom and joking that Reed has some work to do."

"Things seem to be going well in this dimension until the Silver Surfer (Julia Garner) comes to Earth and warns the Fantastic Four that their world has been marked for imminent destruction. The shadow of Galactus is shown looming over New York, and the Silver Surfer tells our heroes they are in a race against time to save Earth from destruction. A civilian asks Reed Richards if they are going to be okay, to which he answers, 'I don’t know.' We see him consumed by his research, burdened by their heroic responsibilities."

"Sue and Reed make a promise for the future of their child, and we are shown Reed giving a speech and telling the public that the Fantastic Four will protect them. The trailer ends with a shot of the Silver Surfer riding on the iconic board away from the burning flames of an explosion."

Marvel Studios also shared a new look at Thunderbolts* at the event and has since released a brief behind-the-scenes featurette.

Revealing that Florence Pugh legitimately jumped off the world's second-tallest building for a scene as Yelena Belova, it once again points to this movie being a departure from what we've come to expect from the MCU.

You can get a better idea of what's to come from Thunderbolts* this May in the players below.

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.

Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, and Natasha Lyonne have been cast in mystery roles. 

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

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

Damn, was hoping there would be a description of how the Silver Surfer looked in there.

Sounds like a cool trailer though! Can't wait to finally see Galactus looming over the city in all his glory. Eat your heart out Galactus-cloud!

@RedFury - Seeing how Norrin Radd is essentially nude and covered with his silver protective layer, I assume she'll look quite different; probably FULLY "CLOTHED" then coated in silver.
Seeing how the actress is very modestly endowded and Marvel hates showing female skin.

I love the classic FF and their villains, but I see a lot of warning signs with this movie so far. We'll see.

@Feralwookiee - yeah I'm not quite sure what to expect with a female surfer. Disney really can be very prudish when it comes to the female form that's for sure. So I wouldn't be surprised either if they busy things up to satisfy some of the more conservative audience members.

If they do go with the more nude look, they'll add a lot of lines or, plates, while also keeping her looking more androgynous or alien. That's my guess at least.

I'm still looking forward to it though. I really like the retro vibe they're going for, and love the cast. We shall see!

@TheVisionary25 - that voice... I'm so glad he landed the role. It's going to make Galactus sound and feel so epic.

Female Silver Surfer is a joke 👎
FrankenDad
FrankenDad - 4/3/2025, 7:43 PM
@Pictilli - I mean, it’s a real character. They’ll likely throw her away and introduce Norrin Radd to MCU proper after/during Secret Wars.
Pictilli
Pictilli - 4/3/2025, 8:11 PM
@FrankenDad - what's the point then? She's already doing all the shit he is supposed to do

@Pictilli - Being upset over fictional women is a joke.

Pictilli - 4/3/2025, 8:28 PM
@SolarSoldier - why shouldn't the Silver Surfer be a guy like in the comics? Was there some organic demand to replace him?
Feralwookiee
Feralwookiee - 4/3/2025, 8:31 PM
@FrankenDad - Not likely. Why would they bother to introduce a female SS just to chuck her right away?
We're not seeing Norrin for years, if at all.

Feralwookiee - 4/3/2025, 8:37 PM
@SolarSoldier - Changing the sex of a fictional character to pander to people is also a joke.

newhire13 - 4/3/2025, 11:21 PM
@Pictilli - It’s set in the multiverse and they used a multiverse version of the character.

newhire13 - 4/3/2025, 11:23 PM
@Feralwookiee - Except the character is from the comics. Holy shit, you guys all sound like annoying little bitches 😂
Pictilli
Pictilli - 4/3/2025, 11:39 PM
@newhire13 - the character is an obscurity in the comics that no one thinks of when they think of the Silver Surfer being used to justify his DEI replacement.

Chick Surfer sucks.
Pedro needs to shave.
Ben Grimm's casting is weak.
The Thing's CGI is crap.

My problems with the movie ^

@SolarSoldier - and fictional character height

@Pictilli - I would also prefer a male Surfer, but is joke really the word here? How can it possibly affect your ability to take the movie seriously? I know I’m being a bit nitpicky, it just seems so bizarre to use that word in reference to this.

CreateNowSlpL8r - 4/4/2025, 7:15 PM
@SolarSoldier - Hes not upset over fictional woman. Hes upset because they shit on a well established hero in the Marvel Universe. Since non of you guys read comics, you are buying this bullshit other character nonsense. Yeah, in 616, Shala Bal is his lover. In one freakin elseworlds series from the year 2000 she was SS.

Its a gender swap but even more than that, its a complete dimishing of a character that has been part of the biggest Marvel events. Go look up what Stan Lee saw in SS. His view of the world was very specific according to its creator.

@Pictilli - I agree with you. FF has a unique, kind of hardcore fanbase. The type that wont stand for this shit. I am including Pedro who I can't see a hint of Reed in. He looks like Pedro, he sounds like Pedro. A good actor can make you not see them. Pedro always plays Pedro.

Female Surfer? I have tons of Surfer solo issues. To make this change, and to cast RDJ as Doom clearly means they dont understand the FF.
Pictilli
Pictilli - 4/4/2025, 7:21 PM
@CreateNowSlpL8r - agreed 100%! Well said.
SolarSoldier
SolarSoldier - 4/6/2025, 12:28 PM
@Pictilli - If Galactus' herald Nova is played by a man, will you be appeased? So many things were changed from comics, so gender being an issue, when the MALE one will be in the movies is extremely childish and nitpicky. There's no way you can say it's not sexist.
SolarSoldier
SolarSoldier - 4/6/2025, 12:30 PM
@CreateNowSlpL8r - Since none of us read comics? For all of the racism and sexism that has been in Marvel comics in all of these ages where the majority of characters looked like you, anybody can be raceswapped and genderswapped as far as I'm concerned. I don't need to list my comics resume to you.
SolarSoldier
SolarSoldier - 4/6/2025, 12:31 PM
@dragon316 - I don't understand this reference I'm afraid.
SolarSoldier
SolarSoldier - 4/6/2025, 12:52 PM
@Feralwookiee - Shalla-Bal is literally Norin's girlfriend. In the animated series, he mourned her as he had to forget who he was to become Galactus' herald and save Zenn-La. She appeared in his comic in 1968. You're acting like they made up a new character. Nobody is tied to Silver Surfer for you all to be having conniptions like this. Silver Surfer barely even gets merchandise. He's not Wolverine and the fake fanboying is exhausting. Norin will appear. Get over it at this point.
CreateNowSlpL8r
CreateNowSlpL8r - 4/6/2025, 1:21 PM
@SolarSoldier - For all the posts you make citing racism at the start of your argument, the only you NEED is therapy.

Why would you watch a movie about a character that isn't the character anymore? Oh right, you're a keyboard activist. You don't care about the source material, to you it's payback. You only post and exist to support things you believe bother the people you hate. Ironically enough, you think you morally right to do this.

Good luck with that.
Pictilli
Pictilli - 4/6/2025, 3:49 PM
@SolarSoldier - no, because Nova is a woman.

How about this radical idea: male characters are kept as men, and female characters are kept as women! Shocking concept, huh?
SolarSoldier
SolarSoldier - 4/12/2025, 6:44 AM
@CreateNowSlpL8r - Notice how you ignored everything I said and refuted none of it? Bye.
SolarSoldier
SolarSoldier - 4/12/2025, 6:50 AM
@Pictilli - How about you get over it? It's been happening for years and is going to continue to happen. Instead of asking why some Kree don't have blue skin, you focus on pointless nonsense. Screaming "woke" when it means not falling asleep into a sense of security for meaningless gestures like streets named BLM when we're killed and it's dismissed that we were probably drug dealers and better off dead.

Here's a radical idea: Don't use words Black people originated and ruin it, changing the meaning of, for one.
Two: Don't watch it.

For an audience who claims to love the science fiction and fantastic, you lot seem to be unimaginative that not every character looks like you. Your insecurities reveal much about you.

I doubt you cared about Silver Surfer before this casting, but pretend to be a lifelong fan who is gutted. It's truly pathetic.

You lot did the same for Taskmaster in Black Widow as if that's a best-selling character who can sustain their own solo book.

Put a sock in it. It's the same tired ramblings over and over again.

It's not changing.

Accept reality and have something meaningful to say instead of prattling the same comment every single freaking time.

@SolarSoldier - woke = anti white and pro lgbtqp.

You can be an uncrirical consumer if you like, but nobody asked for the Silver Surfer to become a woman....there was zero organic audience demand for it. This was a top down change for PC reasons. You just agree with it because you're an NPC uncritical consumer who likes whatever is put in front of him.

@Pictilli - Typical ignorant human.

I explained it to you and you still doubled down. I have nothing to say to you.
Pictilli
Pictilli - 4/13/2025, 3:00 AM
@SolarSoldier - go [frick] yourself then mate
SolarSoldier
SolarSoldier - 4/13/2025, 3:11 AM
@Pictilli - I'm not your mate. You're so small minded you think there aren't LGBT white people.
And there's no such thing as being anti-white.
It's ingrained in our society.
The most unimpressive white person can amount to anything because of the culture of always being better and good enough.
You're an insecure loser who thinks people want to get rid of you.
And you're why stories like the X-Men exist.
You may look human, but aren't.
I can tell if there were a natural disaster you'd only help people who looked like you.
You won't get another blessing of my reply again weirdo.
Pictilli
Pictilli - 4/13/2025, 4:16 AM
@SolarSoldier - Yes, white people are why the X-men exist since they created comic books. How did you get that there aren't white LGBTQP people out of anything I said? The anti white agenda is everywhere, hence all the race replacement of white characters. Why shouldn't the most unimpressive person in a community still be able to amount to something within their community? Why don't you find your own and amount to something there instead of complaining about my people all the time?
