THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Promo Art Reveals Awesome New Look At Galactus And The MCU's First Family

New promo art for The Fantastic Four: First Steps reveals another great shot of the MCU's take on Galactus. We also have pieces which put the spotlight on Reed, Sue, Ben, and Johnny. Check it out here!

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has long wanted to get his hands on Galactus. When 20th Century Fox was close to losing the rights to Daredevil, the executive offered them the chance to keep the Man Without Fear in exchange for the Eater of Worlds and Silver Surfer. 

Fox declined, Daredevil was handed off to Marvel Television and Netflix, and we'll never know what the Infinity Saga might have looked like with Galactus and his Herald put front and centre (minus the Fantastic Four). 

New promo art for The Fantastic Four: First Steps has been revealed today, including a much higher quality look at Ralph Ineson's Galactus. We saw a blurry version of that piece a few weeks ago, but this clearer effort is a welcome sight. 

There are also several new pieces depicting Marvel's First Family; some are stylised in a way that fits in with the reboot's 1960s aesthetic, while others reveal what they'll look like in the MCU. However, we're not sure The Thing will be quite that imposing based on the trailers.

Commenting on his MCU debut as Galactus, Ineson previously said, "When they announced that, I was like, 'How is that going to go down?' because there were a lot of big names that had been attached. I was expecting people to go, 'Sorry, who?'"

"It was lovely and very heart-warming," the actor added while addressing the "humbling" response from fans. "It gave me a lot of confidence going into the job, to be honest, knowing that it seems there’s a large portion of fans that like the idea of me doing it."

It should be quite something to hear Ineson's unmistakable voice come booming from Galactus, and Marvel Studios has chosen well by casting the Game of Thrones and Nosferatu star.

You can see this new promo art for The Fantastic Four: First Steps in the X posts 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.

@FrenchCoulson - i get what you mean…

Ant Man especially under Peyton Reed borrowed alot of the DNA of Fantastic Four with Interdimensional shenanigans , family dynamics etc.

I don’t blame him for it since he is a big FF Fan and almost did his own movie with those characters back in the day so it’s not surprising that he brought those sensibilities he loves about Marvel to those films particularly when no one thought we would get the FF back.

@KennKathleen -

He who is first shall be last, and he who is last shall be first.

Therefore, Donald, Melania, and Barron have gone from being last to being first.

Nice , i like it!!.

I do like also pushing them being scientist & explorers in the marketing atleast moreso then previous takes rather then just a “family” of heroes…

To me , they are honestly moreso the former then the latter so I’m glad they are highlighting that which hopefully reflects in the film aswell.

If he'd just shave his damn mustache I can actually see Pedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic.

But how?

If the F4 cast hadn't been announced, and Pedro was photographed out of costume on the set, how many people would guess he was supposed to be Reed?

The guy is whack.

@JstaKIDfrmBKLYN - One won't shave and the other won't grow one. Ford and Pascal, the non-dynamic duo!

Where is the first family?

I see Pedro Pascal, some unattractive guy, and a lady who can't be Susan because she's a bit of a dogface.

@MakeAmericaGrea - And youre judging the movie because of an actresses looks. Wow. Way to be a total douche. You need to change your name. At this point its obvious you are just using it for attention and have no true belief in the movement. You dont deserve to use it.
MakeAmericaGrea
MakeAmericaGrea - 6/3/2025, 12:58 PM
@AgentofSH1ELD -

If Lizzo or Jessica Chastain were cast as Storm, you would judge that movie based on an actress' looks.

I do more for the movement than you do.

@MakeAmericaGrea - @AgentofSH1ELD. 🤣🤣 talk about delusion of grandeur. You are what “the movement” calls a useful idiot. None of the people running that party think or talk like you, especially not the ones who hold office. Kristi Noem would boot your @$$ out of her presence so fast it would make your head spin. Homan wouldn’t even acknowledge your stupidity. Trump wouldn’t let you deliver one of his McDonald’s #1 with a large Coke

@AgentofSH1ELD - it’s what you get when a 50 yr old adolescent with OCD convinces himself that he is part of “the movement” to feel like he belongs to something bigger by being a keyboard warrior
AgentofSH1ELD
AgentofSH1ELD - 6/3/2025, 1:39 PM
@MakeAmericaGrea - ... Thats not even a comparable argument idiot. If they cast Lizzo as sue storm you would have an argument. Some made up nerd BS that sue storm has to be some blonde goddess. jesus.
Also you dont even know who you are talking to. The whole "look at me im MAGA" BS you pull is so out of touch and what you say doesnt even align with the greater good of what is happening. You are spewing liberal rhetoric that CNN says MAGA supporters are. You are a caricature.

@DSAC294 - He and a few others here make me think of the South Park episode with Trolls. Thats exactly them. No showers, bag of cheetos sitting in moms (or grandmas) basement typing away. trying to come up with ways to shit on everyone because their lives are worthless.
MakeAmericaGrea

Storm.

Not Susan Storm.

I've never had a basement.

Check.

Mate.

You guys are mad that I help the movement so much.

When Fantastic Bore and Pooperman don't make $900,000,000 each, me, and thousands of like minded men and women can be thanked for it.

@MakeAmericaGrea - lol. you really are an idiot arnt you. First, we are not playing chess. I would kick your ass in chess. Second, if we were playing chess its highly unlikely you would be able to put me in check with a pawn.. not to mention mate.
Oh also, its not your basement. its your moms. Or grandmas.

@AgentofSH1ELD - absolutely!!! Have dealt with her directly in the past and she is 💯 squared away!

DSAC294 - 6/3/2025, 2:31 PM
@AgentofSH1ELD - lol @makeamericagrea would be left sucking his thumb and crying in a corner if he ever had to deal with Noem

DSAC294 - 6/3/2025, 2:33 PM
@AgentofSH1ELD - I would actually give him credit if he was a leftist that just uses this schtick to make people on here mad at MAGA supporters. Maybe he’s actually Hillary lol
AgentofSH1ELD
AgentofSH1ELD - 6/3/2025, 2:54 PM
@DSAC294 - lmfao. Thats the biggest chance. All the emails!!!!!! It makes sense now.
AgentofSH1ELD
AgentofSH1ELD - 6/3/2025, 2:55 PM
@DSAC294 - God I hadnt even thought of that. It makes so much sense.. All the negativity. holy crap! lol
DSAC294
DSAC294 - 6/3/2025, 3:01 PM
@MakeAmericaGrea @agentofSH1ELD. Lmao “helping the movement” maybe instead of spending your time on here you could get Rand Paul to start supporting Trump’s budget, convince Lindsey Graham to stop going to Ukraine every week or get the Chip Roy to vote for anything the speaker puts up to a vote. Then I’ll be impressed
AgentofSH1ELD
AgentofSH1ELD - 6/4/2025, 7:18 AM
@DSAC294 - Also he could get Rep. Lee to move the [frick] on. I hate that guy. in other news... I hope that bill passes. Self serving (no tax on overtime).. Im hourly, work 55-60 hour weeks. Have for years. Its very common in rural areas.
Could you imagine what that would do for the economy?! We would boom like crazy.
