THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Trailer Release Date Confirmed...And It’s Coming Much Sooner Than Expected!

We finally have some official news about when the first trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps will be released, and it’s coming much sooner than next Sunday’s Super Bowl! You can find out more here.

It's recently been reported by multiple outlets that the teaser trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps could be released during next Sunday's Super Bowl. Well, as luck would have it, we won't have to wait until the Big Game after all.

Good Morning America has confirmed that the trailer will premiere during Tuesday's show on ABC; needless to say, the 4th is a fitting date - February 4 = F4 - to drop a sneak peek we've confirmed will be released online immediately after it airs on television. 

While a TV spot still seems likely for Sunday, this allows Marvel Studios to dominate the news cycle in the days leading up to the game. The alternative is that The Fantastic Four: First Steps becomes one of countless trailers, fighting with the likes of Jurassic World Rebirth and Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning for people's attention. 

We also can't discount the possibility that Marvel Studios' Super Bowl focus will now be on Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts*, two movies set to be released months before The Fantastic Four reboot hits theaters. 

Still, promoting this movie at the Super Bowl seems a smart move, even if many fans will have already seen the trailer by then (remember, the game reaches a huge audience across the U.S., with the majority of those people not guaranteed to have caught it before sitting down to watch the football on Sunday).

How much will the trailer reveal? That remains to be seen, though it may just be a cleaned-up version of the teaser shown at Comic-Con and D23 last year. Either way, this is incredibly exciting!

Be sure to check back here on Tuesday for the trailer, our full breakdown, 4K screenshots, and more. 


UPDATE: GMA has since removed any mention of the trailer from the listing linked above; as of now, we still expect it to be released on Tuesday.


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.

@0bstreperous - Yeah. Reed Richards stretching powers have never looked good on screen. If they get that right, it'll be exciting to see.

I’m going to cry, I’ve been waiting for this movie since I read John Byrne’s run last year, after falling in love with Hickman’s.

I might get teary eyed god dammit, ik I’m new to this site but sharing my enthusiasm for this movie has been a wild ride. Hope everyone here has a great year, excelsior!

@Stretcho616 - glad you like the John Byrne run… in my opinion it’s one of the best comic runs ever, way under appreciated. The artwork and design of that world was a head of its time, beautiful artwork.

@China1975 - It’s remarkable, it opened my eyes to what sci-fi can be, every story feels unique and powerful. I love it, glad someone else appreciates it!

@Stretcho616 - nice to hear John Byrne is still around he was always my favorite artist as kid. His FF run in the 80’s is unparalleled

@Stretcho616 - Welcome to the dumpster fire of CBM at least you know and love good comics.

If you loved Byrne's run, jump in the wayback machine and check out the Lee/Kirby run from 1964 to 1968 - there has never been a run of consistently creative/innovative myth making since Ancient Greece.

Half the MCU of today can be traced to that era.
Stretcho616
Stretcho616 - 1/31/2025, 7:58 PM
@Batmangina - thank you! I read that run before Byrne’s!

I can’t wait for Ben to go “sheesh!” and mention Aunt Petunia 😂

@Stretcho616 - I love the NYCisms of The Thing and the fact that he was as funny as Spider-Man and got funnier as the stakes increased.

@Stretcho616 - John Byrne had a Fantastic 4 run last year??

@Stretcho616 -

I have not read any FF4 in a couple of years, even though I love the FF4, can you tell me what Byrne's titles did you read ?
I'm curious and your excitement made want to read FF4 again
(Hickman's run was AMAZING !!!(
Stretcho616
Stretcho616 - 2/2/2025, 3:09 AM
@Equivocal - I read all of them :) , Omnibus pt. 1 that mostly ends with Galactus being beaten and revived - and omnibus 2 that starts with the council of Reed Richards with the watcher present and ends with the last story of galactus!


My fav story is Johnny’s romance with Frankie and how she became silver surfer, and everything related to Galactus

cool !

I'll check 'em out !

That teaser that was shown before is not going to cut it. I will need to see some of the powers on display, even some basic CGI, that I think will get people excited. Imagine seeing johnny on fire or imagine seeing mister fantastic stretch his arms, I think that's what needs to be shown

@Vigor - I doubt we get that since that was early footage I’m pretty sure since they had just started shooting.

Apophis71 - 2/1/2025, 6:03 AM
@Vigor - Doubt it is JUST that as it was basicaly test footage filmed in just one day before they actualy started filming so that they had something to show at the comicon. As such non of it will likely be IN the film even if something similar IS as I'd guess they would reshoot anything that will be. Even if they DID keep any it would be cleaned up a lot when they started on post and add to it with other stuff they filmed after all the actual sets etc were built and at least something of them using their powers.

Fingers crossed. I love the Fantastic 4 comics and always have. Please make this great.

@DocSpock - I expect a John Byrne setting with the narrative themes of Hickman’s “solve everything” story but like completely original.

It’s so crazy how Matt Shakman took the dome from John Byrne’s Fantastic Four and made it a thing combined with Tom King’s Vision. His creativity is crazy, I hope he makes something cool and original that can stand next to the F4 comics we love - not copying but rather paying homage to the family that promises a better tomorrow.

@DocSpock - I just bought myself the Mezco One12 Collective Fantastic Four! Sooo badass! Wish I knew how to share pics on here man they scale perfectly with Marvel Legends

@Stretcho616 - did they actually say they took inspiration from John Byrne?
Stretcho616
Stretcho616 - 1/31/2025, 7:18 PM
@narrow290 - Nope, just spitballing since HERBIE is there and visually it looks like the costumes & settings are following Byrne’s tonal cues!
DocSpock
DocSpock - 1/31/2025, 8:40 PM
@Stretcho616 -

Yep, no way to really tell yet.
