The first trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps screened during San Diego Comic-Con last month, and while the footage did leak shortly after, it was a pretty terrible recording.

The same teaser was shown at D23 last night, and a much better-quality version has now found its way online.

The footage introduces us to this latest take on Marvel's First Family, as Reed, Sue, Ben and Johnny prepare to embark on a mission to outer space that will change their lives forever.

We don't get to see any of the heroes in superhero mode (aside from a glimpse of The Thing in silhouette), but we do get a first look at Galactus right at the end - along with another character who wasn't visible in the SDCC version: H.E.R.B.I.E the robot!

Check out the footage at the link below, along with another shot of the cast (with Joseph Quinn in-costume).

Pedro Pascal (Game of Thrones, The Last of Us), will play Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby (Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning), will play Sue Storm, aka the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things, A Quiet Place Day One), will "flame on" as Johnny Storm, aka The Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Punisher, The Bear), will play Ben Grimm, aka the Thing. 

Julia Garner will debut as the Shala-Bal version of the Silver Surfer, while Galactus has also been confirmed as the main villain, and will be played by Ralph Ineson (The Witch, Game of Thrones). Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, and Natasha Lyonne have also been cast 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.

Shooting is now underway, and some set photos have started to show up online.

Matt Shakman directs The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which is set to hit theaters on July 25, 2025.

Yeah idk

None of them, except for Vanessa Kirby, seem to be embodying the characters they’re playing.

Pedro is coming off more as an imitation of a family man from the 50s , more than Reed Richards , the scientist nerd, with a bit of en ego lol

Also isn’t The Thing supposed to be much bigger ?

@MisterDoctor217 - We haven’t seen enough to arrive at any conclusions. Why people in this site are so quick to dismiss things? Calm down man.

@Urubrodi -

Well for me it’s because the Fantastic 4 have been some of my favorite characters since childhood.
So I don’t like this casting at all.

I don’t look at Joseph Quinn or Pedro Pascal and think “oh yeah there’s Reed Richards and Johnny Storm!”

Plus we’re all allowed to have an opinion

And like I said this is closer to my heart because I grew up watching the cartoons and 2000s movies.

@Urubrodi - honestly, this is a promo that Marvel is putting forth to represent the movie as a whole. There's some basis for which to judge it. If this is what they're using to tell the audience, "expect more of this," then it's the only basis we have to go off of. And tbh, this is a very weird [frick]ing choice of marketing. (yeah, I know this was "leaked" but is it every really accidentally leaked?!)

This all just feels... dumb and misplaced. I really like Pedro Pascal, but from what we saw, That's a shit Ben Grimm, at least pre-transformation, Reed seems more like some feel good silly Bill Nye type, instead of the literal smartest man on the planet, Ben Grimm doesn't seem like the big bouncer type of Brute that he's supposed to be, And Johnny Storm appeared to be shy... It just feel like they completely wrote new personalities for the characters, then force [frick]ed it into the 50's, to try to shoehorn a fake semblance of trying something new.

Dude, I'm not freaking out or anything, becuase to be honest, I really don't care about the MCU any more. I do want the movies to be great, because I still have love for the characters, but if it looks like dog shit, I just won't waste the time watching it. This looks like unnecessarily gimmicky dog shit.

@MisterDoctor217 - Of course you’re allowed to have an opinion but why not wait until we at least have an actual official trailer before throwing it under the bus? A little positivity is not gonna hurt. If you’re right and it has all the problems you are dreading not much you can do, so you’re gonna just complain until the movie is out? Quite a long way till then. I’ll leave you be, but it just feels very premature to arrive at conclusions.

@Demigods - So from a leaked promo that they released at comic con before filming hadn’t even officially started you have already concluded that it looks like “dog shit”… not even gonna waste time debating anything here.

@Urubrodi -

Okay yes I admit it’s a bit pre mature, but that’s what these teasers and pics are for.
To show the audience what’s coming and what to expect.
And so far…

@Urubrodi - how the [frick] are you gonna say "this promo came out before filming had started" hahaha dude there's footage! filming started hahahaha
And this is the promo that Marvel showed at COMIC CON to [frick]ing tell you what to expect from the movie. This is EXACTLY the type of thing that you judge a movie based on. If this wasn't indicative of what to expect from the movie, then they'd just show you pics of the members, or they'd show you something else, or they'd use a VoiceOver or describe something. You really don't know how promos work then hahahahaha a

My god, why are you riding the MCU dick so hard right now?

For one, it's okay that I think this looks [frick]ing stupid... mostly because it does look [frick]ing stupid, as most people on here seem to agree so far. I get it, you don't think it looks stupid, but what on there looked decent to you?

They basically rewrote the personalities and characteristics of every character, and therefore showed that they're not respecting the source material, they're shitting on the canon that they've already established, bc the avengers was the first superhero team, they applied some stupid 50's feel for no reason other than to try to make it feel different, and so far, it just looked clunky tbh. Bad dialogue, weird choices, and overall just dumb.

You know what I really want to see more of in an MCU, the spider man 3 struggle with dating life as a superhero aahahha lets put them on a dating show! that's [frick]ing dumb hahahahaha

@Demigods - MAIN filming hadn't started, they spent reportedly a total of only 24hrs doing some test footage so they had something to present to fans at a convention. Sure we can judge that but strong chance non of it will make it into the final film as it was only basicaly a concept real with placeholder graphics. If fans don't like it it will be changed, if they do they will likely still clean it up a LOT and reshoot most to get it nailed down far better than what they showed so way too soon to think the end product will be bad just from an early taste test.

@Demigods - “dude I’m not freaking out or anything” (tear makes it down demigods’s cheek! They could feel the emotion brewing. Demigod runs upstairs to their bedroom, slams the door behind him/her and cries themself to sleep). “It’s dumb it’s just so dumb… (cries more)”. Is that accurate?

I’ve seen all of the movies and read a few of the comics but not a whole lot but they just seemed to make Reed likable. Disneys selling them toys. To kids. Probably gearing this more towards that middle demographic.

@LibraMatter - haha that's awesome. lol Absolutely what happened haha. I was tired and grumpy when I watched this the first time lol

But I did rewatch it now that I'm back from work and I still think it looks pretty stupid. I get that, and I see what you're saying from a marketing standpoint, BUT that doesn't necessarily inspire confidence. There's a way to make a movie marketable, able to produce toys for kids, AND put forth quality content.

This feels like they missed the mark on all of the characters and shoe horned in the version of the character they wanted. I don't know if I'm making sense, but if you have to change the characters that drastically to tell your story, then you're not writing the characters.. you're writing a different set of characters.

The best part, is that I genuinely hope this is good, and we start getting quality MCU movies again.

When you worry about the marketing more than the storytelling, you end up with stuff like the new Star Wars trilogy.

@Apophis71 - Oh shit! Really?

I did not realize that. Might have said it in the article, but honestly. I just checked out the videos and pics.

I'll say this, that gives me A LITTLE bit more hope for this, and it says to me that they can make changes, BUT if this is the trajectory they're aiming for, to me, this looks stupid.
I get that it's still early and all, but the point of this was to drum up conversation about the movie and what we thought of the footage. To me, this does NOT look appealing at all.

That being said, I do sincerely hope it is a great movie, and that this promo just did a very poor job of showcasing what the movie will be like.

Just feels unnecessarily gimmicky, in lieu of a genuinely fresh attempt at storytelling.

Like, from what this shows, it feel like they missed the mark for the characters, then shoehorned this story into the 50-60's thinking that will be enough deviation to make it feel fresh, when in reality, Marvel has already done period pieces. Like I said, I do hope I'm wrong though.

@FrankenDad - nah
Demigods
Demigods - 8/10/2024, 4:47 AM
does this look SUPER gimmicky to anyone else?

Like, from what I saw, there is zero need for this to be set in the 50's to tell this story. Like, telling this story in the 50's will somehow make it feel different?

Sucks, because I really like all 4 of the actors, but given the little that we did see, this just kind of looks like more MCU dog shit that they're trying to market as fresh and new, but doesn't have any substance to actually make it something new. Just the same old heartless horse shit.

Hopefully I'm wrong and just a little grumpy because my monsters woke me up at 4 AM and I'm not getting ready super early to work a 24 hour shift lol. I'll revisit later and see if, upon second viewing, I still think it looks like dog shit, or if I'm just being a grumpy little bitch right now.

@Urubrodi - haha dude I am relaxed. We get it, you're an MCU fanboy. We can like different things. I like things that are actually good, and you just want to see the MCU produce horse shit. We got it

@Urubrodi - wow dude, dont act like I'm a shitty dad because you have shit poor taste in movies. Seriously uncalled for man. We're talking about movies not families. That's a [frick]ing nerd ass thing to do. Don't ever talk shit on my kids. I don't know you, you don't know me. Leave my [frick]ing kids out of arguments.
Urubrodi
Urubrodi - 8/10/2024, 5:30 AM
@Demigods - Don’t get personal with me and I won’t with you, simple as that. If you go around making assumptions on myself, you don’t get to then draw the line when is too far for you. But in any case this whole discussion for me is over, nothing to gain here.
