The excitement builds as the final trailer for “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” has been unveiled, featuring a stunning new poster that depicts Galactus towering over New York City, resembling the iconic Watcher. This highly anticipated sneak peek delivers an action-packed showcase of the superpowers that Marvel’s First Family brings to the screen.
In this trailer, fans are introduced to the ominous presence of Galactus, voiced by Ralph Ineson, and his Herald, the Silver Surfer, portrayed by Julia Garner. The Silver Surfer warns of the impending threat posed by Galactus, heightening the tension as Marvel Studios continues to keep the face of the primary antagonist under wraps—a strategic move that some may question, as revealing the villain could generate more excitement.
While fans have noted that The Thing’s signature line, “It’s Clobberin’ Time,” has yet to be uttered in promotional materials, they eagerly anticipate this moment in theaters. It’s a nod to comic book lovers, reminiscent of the iconic “Avengers Assemble” line from the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The trailer takes viewers on a cosmic journey, showcasing the team’s venture into outer space as they confront the Devourer of Worlds, promising a grand adventure that fans of the Fantastic Four have yearned for. Following the events of “Avengers: Doomsday,” there are hopes that the heroes will soon explore the mysterious Negative Zone.
Set in a vibrant, retro-futuristic world inspired by the 1960s, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” introduces an ensemble cast: Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing. Alongside them, Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne, and Sarah Niles contribute in undisclosed roles. Notably, the rumors surrounding Robert Downey Jr.’s return as Doctor Doom add another layer of intrigue leading up to the impending release.
Directed by Matt Shakman, who previously collaborated with talent from “Avatar: The Way of Water” and “WandaVision,” the film promises to blend riveting storytelling and stunning visual effects.
