Most fans and critics agreed that Vanessa Kirby was a highlight as Sue Storm, and there&#8217;s heaps of excitement to see her return as Invisible Woman in Avengers: Doomsday this December.<\/p>\n<p>While we wait for that, some never-before-seen photos of Kirby as the Fantastic Four\u00a0matriarch have been revealed. Showing Sue in both her superhero uniform and 1960s-inspired clothing, there can once again\u00a0be no denying that she looks perfect in this role.<\/p>\n<p>Shots like these are typically used for camera tests and promotional material, and you&#8217;ll likely recognise at least a few of them from merchandise and posters. Coincidentally, it was images like this that gave us a first look at several characters from Avengers: Doomsday, including Robert Downey Jr.&#8217;s Doctor Doom.<\/p>\n<p>Talking about working with the Oscar-winner in the MCU, Kirby previously said, &#8220;Robert\u2019s never not been on set. He\u2019s always there. He is our leader. We call him our Godfather. He\u2019s looked after us. It\u2019s such a joy working with the Russos and him, because they\u2019ve had such deep collaboration for so long.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And it\u2019s been amazing being pregnant and working on &#8216;Avengers,'&#8221; she continued.\u00a0&#8220;I felt so inspired and so relieved that I\u2019ve been so taken care of. It\u2019s been a really beautiful journey. Robert is just doing incredible work. I\u2019m so excited.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What the future holds in store for Sue and the Fantastic Four franchise beyond the next Avengers movies remains to be seen. The Fantastic Four: First Steps grossed a respectable\u00a0$521.9 million at the worldwide box office, and received glowing reviews from critics (it&#8217;s Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with 86%).<\/p>\n<p>You can check out these newly revealed photos from The Fantastic Four: First Steps by following the link in the X post below.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">See more photos: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DVegpuh1Ke\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/t.co\/DVegpuh1Ke<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\u2014 Vanessa Kirby News | Fansite (@vanessaknation) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/vanessaknation\/status\/2064060945358344202?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">June 8, 2026<\/a>&#13;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/comicbookmovie.com\/fantastic-four\/the-fantastic-four-first-steps-review-a-quintessential-superhero-movie-with-marvel-at-its-brilliant-best-a222940\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">In our review<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0The Fantastic Four: First Steps, we concluded,\u00a0&#8220;The Fantastic Four is an exceptional introduction to the MCU\u2019s First Family, and thanks to a Jack Kirby-infused feel that\u2019s unlike anything we\u2019ve seen before, it proves to be a quintessential superhero movie with Marvel Studios at its brilliant best.<\/p>\n<p>Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios&#8217;\u00a0The Fantastic Four: First Steps\u00a0introduces Marvel\u2019s First Family\u2014Reed 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.<\/p>\n<p>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).
