THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Set Video Reveals Unique Sue Storm Situation; WANDAVISION Easter Egg Spotted

More footage from the set of The Fantastic Four: First Steps has been revealed this evening, this time showcasing Sue Storm in some unique surroundings, more set construction, and...is that The Thing?!

We may have been treated to some official footage from The Fantastic Four: First Steps yesterday evening (albeit through unofficial means), but the latest set footage - once again taken from afar - is also generating a fair bit of buzz among fans. 

While we'd assumed Vanessa Kirby's Sue Storm was being filmed with the young Franklin Richards in her arms after taking a fall, it instead appears they're lying in bed. 

That raises several questions, including why the scene would be shot in the open. Perhaps the Invisible Woman is comforting the child by using her force field powers to float around outside? That's one way to settle a baby!

It's tough to say from this distance but we're sure the video will generate even more fan theories...

An unmistakable nod to WandaVision has also been spotted, though we'd imagine this is simply a reference to filmmaker Matt Shakman's work on the Disney+ series rather than an indication that show and The Fantastic Four: First Steps are in any way connected. 

Construction on Times Square and the team's Excelsior launchpad is still underway.

This last video we're not so sure about as it apparently features a first look at The Fantastic Four: First Steps' take on The Thing.

We think there's a large orange stand-in near the crew that could serve as a reference for the actors and VFX team, but it's so hard to say given the quality of the footage. Honestly, it feels luke a stretch but if that is "The Thing," then we could get a clearer shot as production continues.

Still, we're grateful for these sneak peeks, though, and hope there will be more to come in the days and weeks ahead!

Marvel Studios has announced that Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm/Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm/Human Torch), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben Grimm/The Thing) will lead The Fantastic Four: First Steps cast.

We'll also see Ralph Ineson as Galactus, Julia Garner as Shalla-Bal/Silver Surfer, and Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, and Natasha Lyonne in mystery roles. The story sees Galactus and Silver Surfer target Earth for destruction. 

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) recently coming on board for a final polish.

The movie is set to be released in theaters on July 25, 2025.

@cadunovaes01 - I would rather be too optimistic then cynical/pessimistic like it seems like most on here sadly

@TheVisionary25 - I agree. But, in same time, I can understand some people here. Sometimes, some trailers gives us that same phase 4 feeling, everything lookin the same. So, I can understand why some people gets angry. But im an optimistic by nature!

@cadunovaes01 - perhaps but I don’t think it’s even just a Marvel thing

It just seems like people just want to be miserable and complain about everything when it comes to cbms

I don’t get it

The WV thing is likely indeed just a Easter egg but cool nonetheless.

I’m still holding to the theory that Franklin is the McGuffin of the film..

Maybe Galactus is here for Franklin since he feels he could threaten the latter’s existence or something (they do have a connection in the comics)?.

Has @vectorsigma finally STFU now that the MCU is riding a wave? I haven't seen them on here in a while.

@cubrn - Riding a wave? Ryan Reynolds is riding a wave. Did you see the Iron Heart and Agatha trailers? Bit premature.
cubrn
cubrn - 8/10/2024, 7:45 PM
@McMurdo - Ryan Reynolds acted, produced, directed, edited, scored and was the cinematographer on Deadpool and Wolverine? Impressive. All of the trailers that came out of D23 have been impressive.

@cubrn - Daredevil looks good but went through reshoots hell so can't jump the gun there. FF footage is test footage. those are the hope. Everything else looks pretty bad.

@cubrn - Marvel has to get through what is going to be a tough fiscal for them. @McMurdo is right. The D+ series not named Daredevil are going to be a disaster. Even the biggest true believer knows no on is subbing to watch Ironheart or Agatha. Cap4 is a risk. Mackie can't carry that movie. As far as we can tell, its has no real recognizable character for the normies. The budgets has balloned to almost 400k without marketing and its still a year out. Then they have Thunderbolts which no one is going to see. Suicide squad didnt even do well and this is a poor imitation.

I think FF is more risky than some here. Its always been a more nerd loved IP. Its never really been over with the normies. Not even the animated shows that never took off. The Fox versions did ok for their time (the 2015 bombed). Plus, Pedro isn't a lead guy and the casting has been controversial.

Marvel knows this. How do you think they are justifying to the board all the money they spend on the Russos and RDJ?

cubrn - 8/10/2024, 10:44 PM
@CreateNowSlpL8r - I guarantee Cap4 and Thunderbolts are going to be huge. I'm personally stoked for both Ironheart and Agatha. We'll see.
CreateNowSlpL8r
CreateNowSlpL8r - 8/11/2024, 10:22 AM
@cubrn - huge and profitable are not the same thing. I hope you’re right. I’m tired of shit Marvel movies and want to be excited again.

cubrn - 8/11/2024, 9:07 PM
@CreateNowSlpL8r - The only one I thought was shit was Love and Thunder. Also MODOK. Everything else has been fun.

Well, after 43 applications, I was finally told that I got the job of alternate wedgie remover for Vanessa Kirby on this movie set.

Boy I sure hope (wink, wink) that nothing REALLY bad happens to the guy who got that job ahead of me.

There's a version of Franklin whose dad was killed by Wanda. I hope that leads to something.

Westview was in NJ in Wandavision. Perhaps this Earth has a version of Westview NJ as well. This is a nothing burger except showing that this Earth has places that Earth 616 has.

When WandaVision was what it was, the dumb Hollywood move would be to immediately capitalize on it by giving us more, despite it being a complete and whole piece.

Fortunately they didn't ruin it by doing a season 2, but they did do DS-MoM, Agatha and now a Vision series (which is basically WandaVision all over again but with a robot wife instead of Wanda).

However TFF is the true second coming of the show. It's not a cheap spin-off or tie-in, it's just the same creative forces giving us another Marvel thing, another singular piece of art. This is what they shoulda done all along. It was Matt Shackman all along, not Agatha.

The Fantastic Four looks like it will be WandaVision but writ large. This is a masterpiece in the making right here.

It is just a gimmick, the same way most Phase 1-3 films adapted a specific gimmick. This time it's Sci-Fi 60's. Will still have all the same problems as the rest of Phase 4/5.

Strangely enough I've been told that by a few of my patients in the ladies room down at Jake's Tavern.
