THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Promo Art Reveals Our First Official Look At The MCU’s First Family

Newly revealed promo art for The Fantastic Four: First Steps showcases Marvel’s First Family, offering an official look at Mister Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing. Check it out!

A first look at everything from The Avengers to Spider-Man: No Way Home came our way courtesy of leaked promo art and The Fantastic Four: First Steps is keeping that tradition alive. 

A new piece of artwork has hit social media this evening and, while we can't discount the possibility of it being a convincing fan-made effort, it looks pretty legitimate to us. 

As you can see below, each member of Marvel's First Family receives the spotlight while donning retro, comic-accurate costumes. 

The world's smartest man, Mister Fantastic, is front and centre. Behind him, we get to see the Invisible Woman using her powers, the Human Torch taking flight, and a Thing that looks like he's stepped straight off the page. Behind them is what could be a side-on view of the Baxter Building. 

This week has been all about Superman but we're sure the marketing for The Fantastic Four: First Steps will soon begin in earnest. Unfortunately, rumour has it we may be waiting until the Super Bowl for a trailer. 

While Marvel Studios likely wouldn't want this to be our first proper look at the team outside of concept art, trailers shown at Comic-Con and D23 quickly leaked online so there's nothing here most of you won't have seen before in some form.

Check out this new look at the Fantastic Four assembled below and stay tuned for more on the movie as we have it. 

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.

The poster looks a little basic, but I'm loving the Pop Art 60s aesthetic. I'm hyped to hear the soundtrack

I don’t like the reed as the new Tony stark 🤷‍♂️
But I guess it’s too early to say.

Nice , they look good!!.

I especially like how the costumes seem to have this turtleneck sweater feel & texture to them…

It feels appropriately retro , practical and is just a clever way to do the suits overall imo!!.

I wish this wasn't a multiverse introduction, but they will be able to tell a mostly accurate origin story within the right time period. I still have hope, this is the only Marvel project I'm excited for

Hmmm.... Comfiest suits in the MCU? The look less like space suits/combat suits and more like Mr. Roger's sweaters.

The Thing is right off of the panels. Nice to see they kept his prominent brow.

I dig all of it! The aesthetic they are obviously nailing but the Thing and Johnny look like unique but faithful takes! Vanessa Kirby is an exceptional choice for Sue Storm both safe and inspired casting the same for Pedro Pascal. Supporting cast is dope too I’m excited finally

3/4 of the team looks pretty good. Pedro Pascal looks like Pedro Pascal and nothing like Reed Richards.
McMurdo
McMurdo - 12/19/2024, 12:28 AM
@mountainman - it's obvious at this point that they want Pedro to look like Pedro. Reed is just the vehicle for Pedro as Kevin's new star boy toy. I expect him to be super cool and super smart.
mountainman
mountainman - 12/19/2024, 5:32 AM
@McMurdo - There is a contingent of women that absolutely love Pedro Pascal. I know a few myself. 100% guarantee you those people will see this movie when they were less likely to without his casting.

Not bad, but they're not topping Superman.

Pedro is perfect casting if only he would shave!

Still not feeling Pascal as Reed, but they've been nailing the look and feel of this thing in all the promotional elements. This is the FF.

Yeah, I’m not sold on Pedro either, but I’m hoping that changes once we get a proper trailer.
McMurdo
McMurdo - 12/19/2024, 12:29 AM
@TheLobster - we just need a scene of him shaving and it goes a long way.

I wonder if they decided to just let him keep the 'stache as part of the 60's aesthetic that they're going for. But they should have shaved it either way. Hopefully, once he arrives on the sacred timeline, he'll shave it and go with the more traditional, clean-shaven Mr. Fantastic look. Or even grow a beard. But he shouldn't have just a mustache.

allwalledup - 12/18/2024, 11:57 PM
Thing looks amazing, torch looks cool too and invisible woman looks good enough but I gotta be honest, I hate Pedro pascal and think he’s an overhyped, overused, and overrated actor. They couldn’t even bother to shave his stupid ass moustache which is probably the most annoying part. Maybe I could buy him as reed if he didn’t have that bad case of dirty sanchez on his lip.

Vanessa Kirby looks amazing as Susan Storm.

Hope that Pedro Pascal's Reed can grow on me.

I know I'm an outlier but I've always liked Reed more with a beard. Well, I like The Maker most, but that's another discussion. With or without facial hair it's the salty temples that make the character's look stand out.

As long as the end credit scene is of Johnny bumping into Peter in college I'm on board.

Wasn’t our ‘first official look’ when Matvel themselves literally released promo art of the whole team when the cast was announced…?

I hope Reed Richards and Hal Jordan retain their gray temples in their respective universes. Those are the defining features in my opinion.

I think Superman will make more money than FF:FS.
That being said both movies look bad.
