It’s important to note that these are only very early estimates, and it likely won’t be until late next week that we get a better idea of what to expect from the reboot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When The Fantastic Four: First Steps finally opens, it will have to contend\u00a0with holdovers like Jurassic World Rebirth, Superman, and Smurfs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In related news, we also have a first look at the comic-accurate black and blue suits worn by The Fantastic Four in the movie (yes, we can confirm that these are featured in the\u00a0opening montage when the team does battle with Mole Man and Giganto).\u00a0<\/p>\n
They’re very Jack Kirby-inspired and look exactly like this in the movie itself, so it’s fair to say filmmaker Matt Shakman isn’t shying\u00a0away from embracing the\u00a0comic books.<\/p>\n
Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios’\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 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\u2019 plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren\u2019t bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal.<\/p>\n Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne, and Sarah Niles\u00a0have been cast in mystery roles. Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom is rumoured to appear, though that’s surely a given with\u00a0Avengers: Doomsday\u00a0on the way.<\/p>\n Director Matt Shakman worked with both\u00a0Avatar: The Way of Water\u00a0co-writer Josh Friedman and\u00a0WandaVision’s Cam Squires on\u00a0The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ screenplay, with Eric Pearson (Black Widow) later coming on board for a final polish.<\/p>\n The movie is set to be released in theaters on July 25, 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Fantastic Four: First Steps opens in theaters less than two weeks from today.
