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.

Where are the Iron Heart articles? Why are yall skipping that?

IvanBadski - 8/10/2024, 4:43 AM

@YouFlopped -

Urubrodi - 8/10/2024, 4:46 AM

@YouFlopped - Iron Heart? What is that? You talking crazy man

MisterDoctor217 - 8/10/2024, 4:47 AM

@IvanBadski -

Lmao I was going to say the same.

Idk how the general audience is going to find Riri Williams interesting.
They’re going to say she’s ripping off iron man , which she is.

If it was someone close to Tony taking up the mantle, it would have made sense.

But I don’t understand why they had to make the character have the same abilities and basically same armor as Tony Stark, instead of her doing her own thing.

There are so many geniuses in the Marvel universe who didn’t copy Tony.

WhateverItTakes - 8/10/2024, 6:08 AM

@YouFlopped - did you get your answer daaaaaaawgggg cuuuuz. Nobody is interested in it......peacccce

MisterDoctor217 - 8/10/2024, 4:44 AM

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 ?

Urubrodi - 8/10/2024, 4:48 AM

@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.

MisterDoctor217 - 8/10/2024, 4:53 AM

@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.

Demigods - 8/10/2024, 4:54 AM

@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.

Urubrodi - 8/10/2024, 4:59 AM

@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.

Urubrodi - 8/10/2024, 5:01 AM

@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.

MisterDoctor217 - 8/10/2024, 5:03 AM

@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…

Demigods - 8/10/2024, 5:15 AM

@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

Urubrodi - 8/10/2024, 5:18 AM

@Demigods - ok man, whatever

Lem1 - 8/10/2024, 5:43 AM

@Urubrodi - Rabid cynical vybes run amok, I guess. I think the trailer looks grand! That musical fanfare is terrific, too

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 - 8/10/2024, 4:49 AM

@Demigods - You are wrong, you can relax now.

Demigods - 8/10/2024, 5:08 AM

@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

Demigods - 8/10/2024, 5:21 AM

@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 - 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.

dagenspear - 8/10/2024, 5:41 AM

@Urubrodi - I think you went way more personal.

Urubrodi - 8/10/2024, 5:53 AM

@dagenspear - I lost my cool when he decided to leave the topic of discussion and go for the name calling in order to make his argument. Not my proudest moment. As I said to continue this pointless dicussion is not gonna go anywhere so I'm off.

dagenspear - 8/10/2024, 6:21 AM

@Urubrodi - Not arguing the other side was right, more my perception of that.

ProfessorWhy - 8/10/2024, 4:50 AM

Can't believe fans are complaining about this.... it's so FF'n good
And no, Ben didn't get much taller when transformed

MisterDoctor217 - 8/10/2024, 4:55 AM

@ProfessorWhy -

Yes he did , he’s almost as big as the Hulk in the comics.
That’s how they were able to have their infamous fight.
He’s not supposed to be able to sit in a normal chair and barely tower over other normal sized men.

ProfessorWhy - 8/10/2024, 5:05 AM

@MisterDoctor217 - according to Marvel Database, The Thing stands 6 ft tall. The Hulk stands 7ft and upward, depending on rage. There has been much artistic license over the years, but there are official numbers, and they matter to storytelling.

Wolverine is a short man

MisterDoctor217 - 8/10/2024, 5:07 AM

@ProfessorWhy -

Well that doesn’t make any sense.

He’s been drawn to be almost the same size as The Hulk over the years, in fact he’s gotten bigger over the decades.

Urubrodi - 8/10/2024, 5:08 AM

@MisterDoctor217 - The Thing has an official height of 6 foot, that is not towering over normal humans. He has been drawn at different sizes in comics, but officially he is considerably smaller than the Hulk.

ProfessorWhy - 8/10/2024, 5:10 AM

@MisterDoctor217 - well, 1ft apart plus artistic license equals same size in comics. I get the discrepancy. Sometimes ben is depicted as fking huge

MisterDoctor217 - 8/10/2024, 5:20 AM

@ProfessorWhy -

Yeah a lot of discrepancies 😭😭

MisterDoctor217 - 8/10/2024, 5:21 AM

@Urubrodi -

Well like I said he’s sometimes drawn as big as the Hulk.

And Hulk definitely towers over normal humans 🤔

Reeds2Much - 8/10/2024, 5:52 AM

@MisterDoctor217 - he's sometimes drawn

Yeah, that's not a hill I'd die on.

MisterDoctor217 - 8/10/2024, 5:56 AM

@Reeds2Much -

Well the comics I’ve read he’s always so big 🤔

Demigods - 8/10/2024, 5:06 AM

HAHAHA I JUST SAW THE SECOND PICTURE WITH THAT SHITTY ASS BLEACH JOB ON JOHNNY STORM!!!! WHY THE [frick] DID THEY MAKE HIM LOOK LIKE HE'S COSPLAYING AS EARLY 00'S EMINEM COSPLAYING JOHNNY STORM?!?!? HAHAHAHAHAH

Holy shit, this looks worse with everything I see and hear about it. Again, the best part about this is that I do GENUINELY hope that I'm wrong and this is a great movie and you guys can rub it in my face just how wrong I am... but damn, this looks TERRIBLE based upon the limited view they've given us.

Seriously, I'd like to see the pitch meeting for this because right now it feels like some dude just ripped a speed ball and ran into an exec's office like
"I'VE GOT IT! WE'LL SAVE THE MCU! WE'RE DOING FANTASTIC FOUR! BUT [frick]! THEY'RE THE JETSONS IN THE 50'S! NOT LIKE THEY'RE IN THE FUTURE, NO! WE'RE WRITING THEIR STORY TO TAKE PLACE IN THE LITERAL 50'S FOR NO [frick]ING REASON AT ALL, EVEN THOUGH THE UNIVERSE ESTABLISHES THAT NO ONE KNEW ABOUT SUPERHEROES UNTIL THE AVENGERS AND THE FANTASTIC FOUR WERE THE MOST FAMOUS SUPERHERO FAMILY! [frick] THAT! AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO SEE MORE THAN SUPERHEROES FIGHTING? THEM ON SHITTY 50'S TELEVISION! [frick] YEAH! OH! AND LETS JUST COMPLETELY OVERHAUL ALL THE CHARACTER TRAITS OF EVERY CHARACTER! NO, I DIDN'T READ THE COMICS! COMICS ARE FOR PUSSIES! GET ME MORE BLOW AND HOOKERS!"

ProfessorWhy - 8/10/2024, 5:11 AM

@Demigods - decaf

Demigods - 8/10/2024, 5:24 AM

@ProfessorWhy - hahaha yeah you might be onto something there. I woke up at the ass crack of the day and started downing coffee before a 24 hour shift hahah

relentless1 - 8/10/2024, 5:11 AM

ffs, they couldn't even be bothered to have Pedro shave that porn stache ey? This movie has sub par written all over it

Matchesz - 8/10/2024, 5:13 AM

Would it have been so hard to shave the stache ?

ItsNotForMeWahh - 8/10/2024, 5:40 AM

@Matchesz - don't worry they will remove it in post /s

Floke - 8/10/2024, 5:14 AM

I cant't be the only one that see the same vibe as this right? Even the music is similar.

Not saying it is the same, but the vibe and tone is.
