THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS LEGO Set Fully Reveals The MCU's Take On Ralph Ineson's Galactus

A new LEGO set for The Fantastic Four: First Steps has fully revealed the Marvel Cinematic Universe's take on Galactus...in brick-built form, anyway! Take a closer look at the Eater of Worlds here!

With The Fantastic Four: First Steps set to arrive in theaters less than three months from today, more merchandise from the reboot continues to find its way online.

We've already got a cool new look at Marvel's First Family today, and now a LEGO set has fully revealed the MCU's Galactus. The villain is in brick form, but this still ranks among the best shots we've seen of the world-eating baddie. 

LEGO has found some fun ways to portray the team's powers, though we're a little surprised that there's no Silver Surfer Minifigure. While we know better than to think sets like these offer any definitive idea of what we'll see on screen, could this be an indication that the heroes will fight Galactus at some point?

We'd say it's likely, and a recent plot leak shed new light on what role Galactus and the Silver Surfer will play in The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Marvel Studios has yet to begin officially unveiling merchandise for the movie; however, you can expect companies like Hot Toys, Hasbro, and Funko to start sharing their takes on this team in the coming weeks and months.

Earlier this month, The Fantastic Four: First Steps director Matt Shakman revealed why he decided to focus on Galactus rather than going back to Doctor Doom (a villain heavily featured in the last three movies featuring these characters).

"Doom's a great character, but he takes up a lot of air," the director explained. "Other film adaptations have done both an origin story and Doom. We're doing neither, and that allows us to look at them from a fresh perspective."

Galactus is indeed a very different type of big bad, and Shakman found a way to have Ralph Ineson portray the Devourer of Worlds that relied on practical effects just as heavily as visual ones. 

"I didn't want to just use motion-capture for Galactus. I wanted to actually have someone there embodying the part," Shakman confirmed. "So we've built an entire costume for him, and we've done a lot of photography testing to figure out, How do you make sure that the scale is correct? How do you film Mount Rushmore?"

Check out this new LEGO set for The Fantastic Four: First Steps in the X post 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. Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom is rumoured to appear, though that's surely a given with Avengers: Doomsday on the way.

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.

Legit question; Why does Galactus always come to Earth with the size of Giant-Man ?

@CholoScorpion - Performance anxiety

@CholoScorpion -ikr...also this guy can destroy entire planets by eating them but he's going to be beaten by F4 through a series of well placed punches and quips. A galactic conquering entity that's been alive for eons is beaten by humans with punches,it's hilarious.

@RacialPowerman - How did you get to see the movie already?

@RacialPowerman - this is why we need to read comics people. So you don’t go in the comments and say something dumb like this guy^. Galactus is defeated when Reed busts out the ultimate nullifier. Not because he got punched. (Although Thor definitely one shotted him recently with Mjolnir, but that’s a whole other book worth a read)

@RacialPowerman - Say you have never read a Fantastic 4 comic and move on. This website is called Comicbookmovie.com and it's entire identity is movies based on COMICS.

@RolandD - It's everyc comic movie that's been made.

@Makiveli21 - The weapon was originally created by the Watcher Emnu and proved powerful enough to destroy not just an entire race, but a portion of the universe. At the sheer insinuation that Mister Fantastic would use the Nullifier on Galactus, the latter agrees that he will leave the planet Earth alone as long as Reed gives him back his weapon. Both men keep to their word...yea he didn't beat him by using it. Galactus was threatened by it. But yea never read one.

RacialPowerman - 4/27/2025, 10:53 AM
@SonOfAGif - Haha,it's mostly. There are lot of race talk,political talk and everything else. Yes this is based in Comic Movies,but it's in America and you can't shut me up. Welcome to the world, here if you don't like something you don't have to read or comment but like any other woman you like drama and attention.

@RacialPowerman - Says the guy that didn't have to read or comment on something he didn't like but did it anyway. So does that make you like any other woman who likes drama and attention? Perhaps educate yourself on the source material before you spin your word salad into uniformed stupidity

@SonOfAGif - funny you chose a female to respond back. Thus confirming my earlier comment about you having female qualities. Have you come out to your parents yet? If not I can help I had a cousin who was gay but didn't wanna admit it,but I helped him get over his fear. I can help you too,your anger and shame is seeping out in the way you write.

Comic accurate

Whats not been shown in trailers is the 3rd act battle against galactus. And we also don't know the outcome. Likely galactus wins
Antitrollpatrol
Antitrollpatrol - 4/26/2025, 2:50 PM
@Vigor - I mean the trailer shows reed using his powers and Galactus is definitely hitting the building. I would imagine that's part of the third act.

@Vigor - yeah they specifically made the trailer for this reason, at least I think so

@Nonameforme - Yes, very cool. Your guess is correct. Well done, you got it right.

And well done Marvel, you got it right too (finally!) this is that big, purple people eater fans have been wanting on the big screen for such a long time.

Dust cloud? Dust this!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this movie is going to flop so hard!

This looks like a knockoff brand. Thing look's like a regular dude wearing boxing gloves and Mister Fantastic's legs are horrible. He's stretching from his feet down and making new feet at the bottom. Why not just make special limb pieces like this?

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - It’s a cheaper set so Lego wanted to minimize the custom built peices probably.

Either way, that Reed looks crap. I got a bunch of knock off Legos (called Lebo) from the Philippines a few years back and the knock off Reed is better looking than this.

Let’s see how that looks once the film is out. Translation is key here.

@TheLobster - prolly be less lego. I mean I'm just guessing, I could be wrong.

Interesting that Ben and Johnny on the side of the box look more like the characters they are supposed to play than they do in the movie clips.
