THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS IMAX Trailer And 4K Screenshots Reveal New Glimpse Of Galactus

Marvel Studios released a brand-new trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps earlier today, and an IMAX version has now been shared online.

Though the IMAX trailer doesn't include any new footage, the aspect ratio does allow us to see a little more of the action, and the shot of Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal) using his stretchy abilities reveals that it's actually Galactus that's causing the building to crumble around the hero.

The Eater of Worlds (Ralph Ineson) is still being kept under wraps, but we do see his gigantic feet crashing through the city right at the end of the trailer. The new teaser also unveils the Silver Surfer (Julia Garner), who has been brought to life via CGI.

Have a look at the IMAX trailer along with some 4K screenshots below, and let us know what you think of this latest look at the MCU reboot in the comments section.

The Fantastic Four reboot also stars 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, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Punisher, The Bear) as Ben Grimm, aka the Thing. 

Natasha Lyonne, Paul Walter Hauser and John Malkovich are also on board in undisclosed roles. 

Kevin Feige recently confirmed that the movie will take place in an alternate universe, but we know that Marvel's First Family will appear in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, so we wouldn't be surprised if they find their way into the main MCU timeline by the end of this movie.

"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.

@MakeAmericaGrea - if only they had added silver nipples to the surfer then it could have easily made 2 billion on open nite for sure

@MakeAmericaGrea - don’t think that was ever in the cards for this one.

It’s a post-Endgame film, the previous three movies never made much of a killing and none of the performers are guaranteed 1B hitters.

700M at best

No way. Just watching the trailer, the new Fantastic Movie is in the line of CA Brave New World, Eternals, Quantumania and Thor Love & Thunder

Kevin Feige should leave the MCU. 10 years waiting for the FF decent movie and this is what we get

@harryba11zack - I think they're there. They're subtle like Alicia Silverstone's in Batman & Robin. Those nipples are worth $1 billion at the box office each, so $2 billion seems like a surefire bet now.

@MakeAmericaGrea - I def got major Ghostbusters vibes from this trailer.

Which is apt because there's a lot of FF influence in Ghostbusters and Bill Murray was the second person ever to play Johnny Storm (in the 1975 radio show).

Also they were originally gonna have Paul Reubens play Gozer but switched it to that Russian chick. Best decision they ever made and now I'm getting Gozer vibes from Shalla Bal and Stay Puft/Statue of Liberty vibes from the smaller version of Galactus.

Wait, I thought you wrote a new glimpse of Galactus.

@MarkCassidy???

I still saw his [frick]ing feet.

For [frick]s Sake

In the slow-mo shot of Reed stretching, the armor of Galactus can be seen in the background, which was not visible in the previous aspect ratio of the same trailer.

@Latverian - it's bollocks mate.

I thought it would see more and it doesn't live up to the article's title.

But hey, this is show business.

Thanks for pointing that out 👊🏿

The bitch of it all is that THEY WERE SO [frick]ING CLOSE.

PEDRO SUCKS.
SILVER SURFETTE SUCKS.

The rest looks amazing and all the more disappointing because of two stupid [frick]ing decisions.

THE MCU IS DOA

THIS FIXES NOTHING

Blergh - 4/17/2025, 9:40 PM
@Batmangina - not sure what people have against Pascal. He wasn’t my first choice either, I still think they should have gone with Krasinski to tie into the DS2 cameo.
But he’s alright, a good actor who, while overexposed a bit, can pull it off.

As for the female Surfer, don’t worry. It’s an alternate universe that will more than likely crumble in the end. The 616 version will be Norrin Rad, I’m sure of it
Batmangina
Batmangina - 4/17/2025, 10:09 PM
@Blergh - I don't have anything against him - he's just overexposed. Agree 100 on Krasinski. Why the [frick] not?

He was kickass in GOT and I [frick]ing loved Mandalorian S1.

The bad decisions were patently unnecessary and indefensible.

I know some had issues with Reed’s stretching VFX but I think it looks good personally…

The only VFX that looked a bit unfinished/off to me was Silver Surfer honestly.

This F4 is so wrong. I prefer they recast reed Richard someone who has the look (John krasinski or even ion gruffurd,not miles teller). Choosing the female silver surfer is so [frick]ing wrong.

@solskulldeath - crossing both my dicks for a Miles Teller Maker cameo though, if they do a Council of Reeds.

Doug Jones is my Silver Surfer. Not this Dei tin foil.They even had the nerve to do the same scene with Silver Surfer dropping Johnny Storm from space. Like the programming and marketing they put out is the same system smh.

The b!tching on this site is amazing. This looks great. The only things bothering me - 1) Johnnys wig or dye job or whatever looks absolutely horrible. I cannot believe anyone signed off on that. 2) I don’t think they needed to have overdone it, but a LITTLE alteration to The Thing’s voice would help. It just doesn’t sound right to have the actors voice coming out of The Thing without any change at all. And yes 3) Pedro was miscast here, but it’s not the end of the world. Although based on the trailer, maybe it is! 😂

Otherwise, can’t wait!

I love Reed's reaction to Johnny telling him he's out of his depth. Looks like he's doing a good job capturing that Aspergers level, hyper intelligent, emotionally impaired kind of guy.

I am not excited for anything in this movie.
