THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS CinemaCon Trailer Description Reveals Sue Storm Spoiler And Silver Surfer

Marvel's First Family paid a visit to CinemaCon today, and the new trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps featured plenty of big reveals, including a Sue Storm spoiler and Silver Surfer in action...

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!

Can’t wait to hear Ralph Ineson’s voice as Galactus!!.

@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
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
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 ^

@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.

"the Silver Surfer tells our heroes they are in a race against time to save Earth from destruction."

Getting Rise of the Silver Surfer flashbacks.

@RockReigns - that’s the surfers entire gig tho… ‘heeeey guuuuuys, there’s like, a giant asshole coming to suck up your planet yo’. Hurry tf up and figure your shit out or you’re gonna diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie!’

McMurdo - 4/3/2025, 11:26 PM
@RockReigns - for the record. I've heard on good authority there is a literal scene of an alien civilation experiencing Galactus eat their planet in real time. We will see that process happen in all it's horror and I hear it's intense. If they pull that off....will be sick. Still don't like the Reed casting or Surfer girl but nothing we can do about that.

@RockReigns - Well in terms of premise can't realy change that much for the SS/Galactus story but specifics is key and assume we won't have the Doom/stealing the surfers powers stuff for instance.

Feels like they are trying to fast track the development of these characters and its like trying to start reading a book by flicking to the penultimate chapter of a sequel. You've skipped the formation of the family so you can't have the usual character building squabbles or exploration of them learning/growing.

Personally I get invested in characters through their origin stories and the Fantastic Four discovering their powers and the world reacting to that is interesting to see and explore. We only briefly did this in the 2005 film and then skipped straight to them being celebrities.

Given we'll likely only get one shot at Silver Surfer in the MCU, I don't get the appeal of them just ignoring Norrin Radd. I doubt they'll kill off female Silver Surfer and replace her in Doomsday/Secret Wars so it feels like a massive waste. Only potential is maybe she survives this film also and shows up alongside a variant Norrin Radd in Doomsday/Secret Wars. Why not just have another of Galactus' heralds, such as the original rumor of Tyros/Terrax The Tamer.

It doesn't differentiate it from Rise of the Silver Surfer, because it's effectively the same plotline, of the Surfer coming to Earth to warn them and eventually teaming up with them against Galactus.

You could have made an entire trilogy of them unknowingly facing off against Galactus' Heralds each tasked with paving the world for destruction or trying to betray Galactus. Why not just have another of Galactus' heralds, such as the original rumor of Tyros/Terrax The Tamer. They even have other female silver heralds they could have chosen from. Seems like a decision made solely to try and spark controversy because they know the fans wanted Norrin Radd.

Feels more like They made Incredibles as opposed to Fantastic Four. Especially with the new baby hi-jinks we've glimpsed in the concept art.

@Scarilian - According to early plot leaks the Silver Surfer/Galactus comes to Earth for Franklin, so I'm thinking that these scenes are all flashbacks to the first time Galactus came to Earth and we're not just gonna go over the same ground for the main plot of the movie.

Sounds like crap. Smells like crap.

It is crap.

Nolanite out

Why are they fighting a chicken man in Thunderbolts lol?.

Also , the FF being on a talk show reminds me of this…

Anyway , both look & sound good!!.

Lady Surfer is trash, based on a different character or not, it is most certainly not what fans would prefer. Norrin Radd is what made Silver Surfer popular, he’s who we want to see. At this point I’m kinda over the garbage decisions Marvel has been making.

I hope this flops, hit’em where it hurts. Only way they’ll learn.

Though we all know this movie will make bank

@MuadDib - as much like that don’t see that happening with reed mustache female surfer is enough for people hate this version fan cast at finest
GeneralZod
GeneralZod - 4/4/2025, 1:27 AM
@MuadDib - I think it will be profitable at maybe $600 million, but nowhere close to the $1 billion "bank" it would almost certainly made if it stuck with a badass Norin Radd, a better-cast Reed, etc. I agree that the only way Feige will learn is by yet another underperforming film that immersed itself in box-checking nonsense.

Lilvic92 - 4/3/2025, 11:56 PM
I really wish they just went with Norrin Radd 😩
Apophis71
Apophis71 - 4/4/2025, 3:01 AM
@Lilvic92 - If it was on 616 I'd agree, as it isn't and instead a timeline we will never see again don't care and if anything kinda prefer the one and done version isn't Norrin so that when we do he is around for his own solo film and multiple films appearances.
Ryguy88
Ryguy88 - 4/4/2025, 10:15 AM
@Apophis71 - that's cope. Silver surfer is an iconic marvel character, there is no logical reason why they would gender swap him.
Apophis71
Apophis71 - 4/4/2025, 10:56 AM
@Ryguy88 - They haven't, they used an alternate timeline where his love interest was the Silver Surfer which occured on an alt timeline in the comics too.

Point being if we are getting Norrin Radd I want him for multiple films thus if this is an alt timeline and thus a one and done Herald I don't want the water muddy with variant use, choose another herald is fine by me even if I'd have gone with one that WASN'T silver, and a surfer. It isn't like we didnt get the Norrin Radd SS as the herald of Galactus before, the film had a LOT of issues but if that hadn't existed things may not be what they are now with this but...

...thus I repeat, if it was on 616 totaly should have been Norrin, as it is a one and done alt timeline I don't care that they opted for an alt herald too rather than a variant one and now I've had time to sit with it actualy prefer this option rather than variant use.
