All right, let us dive into one of the
0:02
most anticipated movies of the entire
0:04
multiverse saga, the Fantastic 4.
0:08
After years of waiting, rumors, and fan
0:11
castings, Marvel's first family is
0:13
finally officially coming home to the
0:16
MCU. But who are they? Why are they so
0:20
important? And what can we expect from
0:22
their grand debut in the Fantastic 4?
0:25
First Steps hitting theaters in July
0:28
2025.
0:30
Let's break it all down. First, a quick
0:32
trip down memory lane. The Fantastic 4
0:35
have had a rocky road on the big screen.
0:37
We started with the unreleased 1994 film
0:40
by Roger Corman, a campy, low-budget
0:43
effort that's become a cult classic for
0:46
its sheer absurdity. Then came the
0:48
mid2000s duo Fantastic 4 in 2005 and its
0:53
sequel Rise of the Silver Surfer. These
0:56
films gave us a charismatic human torch
0:58
in Chris. Before he was Captain America,
1:00
but they were criticized for their light
1:02
tone and a very very strange take on
1:05
Galactis as a giant space cloud. Not
1:08
exactly the world devourer we know from
1:10
the comics. Then in 2015, we got Fant
1:14
for Stick, a dark, gritty reboot that
1:18
completely missed the mark. It strayed
1:20
so far from the core concept of a
1:22
loving, adventurous family that it ended
1:25
up being a critical and commercial
1:27
failure. The behind-the-scenes drama was
1:29
almost more interesting than the movie
1:31
itself. So, after three attempts, it's
1:34
safe to say fans are desperate for a
1:36
version that finally gets it right. And
1:39
that's where the MCU comes in. Kevin
1:41
Feige and Marvel Studios have a proven
1:43
track record of honoring the source
1:45
material while making it fresh for
1:47
modern audiences. This isn't just
1:49
another reboot. This is the definitive
1:51
introduction of some of Marvel's most
1:53
foundational characters. So, what makes
1:56
the Fantastic 4 so special? Unlike the
1:58
Avengers, who are a team of heroes that
2:01
assemble, the Fantastic 4 are a family
2:03
first. You have read Richard's a genius
2:06
scientist whose intellect is matched
2:08
only by his emotional awkwardness. Sue
2:10
Storm, the invisible woman who is the
2:13
powerful, empathetic heart of the group,
2:15
her younger brother. Johnny Storm, the
2:18
hot-headed human torch who's all about
2:21
fame and thrills. And finally, Ben Grim,
2:25
the Thing, a pilot transformed into a
2:28
rock monster grappling with a tragic new
2:30
reality, but remaining the loyal Gruff
2:33
Protector. Their origin is classic
2:35
sci-fi. A daring unauthorized mission
2:39
into space. They're bombarded by cosmic
2:41
rays. And upon their return to Earth,
2:44
they discover they have incredible and
2:46
sometimes terrifying new powers. But
2:49
here's the key difference. They don't
2:51
hide. They become public figures,
2:54
celebrity adventurers, and explorers of
2:56
the unknown. They're not just fighting
2:59
super villains. They're pushing the
3:00
boundaries of science and discovery,
3:03
traveling to new dimensions, and
3:05
confronting cosmic threats far beyond
3:07
what the Avengers typically handle.
3:09
Te-SPrings usto the Fantastic 4 first
3:13
steps. The title itself is a huge clue.
3:17
This isn't going to be an origin story
3:19
in the traditional sense. Marvel Kevin
3:21
Fe has confirmed that we re not going to
3:24
spend half the movie watching them get
3:26
their powers again. he said, and I
3:29
quote, "A lot of people know the basics.
3:32
How do we take that and bring them into
3:34
the MCU in a way they have even been
3:36
seen before? This suggests we'll meet
3:38
them as an already established team. The
3:41
first steps likely refers to their first
3:43
major steps into the wider MC or perhaps
3:47
their first encounter with a threat so
3:48
massive it puts them on the global
3:50
stage. So, who's bringing this to life?
3:54
The cast is absolutely stellar. We have
3:57
Pedro Pascal as Reed Richard Zakai. Uh,
4:01
Mr. Fantastic. This is a brilliant
4:04
choice. Pascal has the range to play the
4:06
brilliant, sometimes obsessive scientist
4:09
while also bringing a warmth and
4:10
gravitas that the character needs. Then
4:13
there's Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, the
4:16
invisible woman.
4:18
Kirby is a powerhouse actress perfect
4:21
for portraying Sue's evolution from the
4:23
team's heart to arguably its most
4:25
powerful member. Joseph Quinn, who we
4:27
all loved as Eddie Mson in Stranger
4:30
Things, is taking on the role of Johnny
4:32
Storm, the Human Torch. He's got the
4:35
charisma and rebellious energy down
4:37
perfectly. And Erban Mosbakra from The
4:40
Bear is playing Ben Grim the Thing. This
4:45
is fascinating casting. He's known for
4:47
playing characters with deep-seated
4:49
angst and vulnerability, which is the
4:52
absolute core of Ben Grim's character
4:54
beneath that rocky exterior.
4:57
But here's where it gets really
4:59
interesting. Rumors have been swirling
5:00
for months that this film will be set in
5:03
the 1960s.
5:04
The official cast announcement artwork
5:07
heavily leans into this aesthetic with a
5:09
retrofuturistic vibe. This would be a
5:12
genius move. Why? It explains where
5:15
they've been all this time. If their
5:18
space mission happened in the 60s, they
5:20
could have been lost in space, trapped
5:22
in the negative zona hostile
5:24
anti-attered dimension from the comics,
5:27
even in a different timeline altogether.
5:29
Imagine this. The Fantastic 4 icons of a
5:33
silver age optimistic 1960s are suddenly
5:37
thrust into the complex, cynical world
5:39
of the modern-day MCU. The culture shock
5:43
alone would be incredible. They would be
5:45
literal fish out of water, people from
5:47
the past facing a future they never
5:50
imagined. This instantly creates drama,
5:53
comedy, and a unique perspective that no
5:56
other MCU character has. They'd be
5:58
scientific pioneers from the era of the
6:00
space race, now confronted with stark
6:03
technology, alien invasions, and the
6:05
aftermath of the blip. Now, let's talk
6:08
about the villain. While nothing is
6:10
confirmed, all signs point to one major
6:13
cosmic entity, and you can't have
6:15
Galactis without his herald, the Silver
6:18
Surfer. The latest casting news has
6:20
Julia Garner playing Shalabal, a version
6:23
of the Silver Surfer. In the comics,
6:25
Shalabal is the love of Norin Rad, the
6:28
original Silver Surfer. Her casting
6:30
could mean a few things. Perhaps in this
6:33
universe, she becomes the Herald instead
6:35
of him. Or maybe we see both of them.
6:38
Introducing Galactis is a gamecher for
6:41
the entire MCU. We're talking about a
6:43
being who consumes planets to survive.
6:46
He's not evil. He's a force of nature. A
6:49
threat on this scale dwarfs anything the
6:51
Avengers have faced, even Thanos. The
6:54
battle against Galactis isn't just about
6:57
punching. It's about outthinking him.
6:59
It's a problem for Reed Richard's super
7:01
genius brain to solve. This is the
7:04
perfect way to establish just how
7:06
different and vital the Fantastic 4 are.
7:08
They are Earth's first line of defense
7:10
against cosmic existential threats. What
7:13
about Dr. Doom? You can't talk about the
7:16
Fantastic 4 without mentioning their
7:18
arch nemesis, Victor Von Doom. He's one
7:21
of the greatest villains in all of
7:22
comics, a brilliant scientist, a
7:25
sorcerer, and the ironfisted ruler of
7:28
Will he be in this first movie? Probably
7:30
not as the main antagonist. Marvel will
7:33
likely want to build him up slowly,
7:35
maybe introducing him as a former
7:36
colleague and rival to Reed Richards.
7:39
Planting the seeds for his terrifying
7:40
transformation. A postredit scene
7:42
featuring Doom would break the internet.
7:44
They can't afford to get him wrong this
7:46
time. So, taking their time is the smart
7:49
play. So, what's the big picture? The
7:52
Fantastic 4. First Steps is poised to be
7:55
the cornerstone of the MCU's future.
7:58
It's not just a movie. It's the
8:00
introduction of a whole new corner of
8:02
the Marvel universe. The exploration,
8:05
the science, the cosmic scallets,
8:07
everything the MCU has been building
8:09
towards. They are the key to unlocking
8:12
concepts like the negative zone,
8:14
microverses, and beings that make Thanos
8:16
look like a petty thug. Their arrival
8:18
will likely set the stage for the next
8:21
big saga of event, possibly leading into
8:23
a proper Secret Wars adaptation where
8:25
their knowledge of other dimensions and
8:27
realities becomes crucial. Think about
8:29
the character dynamics we have to look
8:31
forward to. The brotherly rivalry and
8:33
banter between Johnny Storm and Ben
8:35
Grim. The complex, loving, and often
8:39
strained relationship between the
8:41
brilliant but distant Reed and the
8:43
emotionally intelligent Sue.
8:46
This family dynamic is the heart and
8:48
soul of the story, and with this cast,
8:51
it's going to be electric. So, get ready
8:53
for an adventure that blends 60s sci-fi
8:55
optimism with modern blockbuster
8:57
spectacle. The Fantastic 4: First Steps
9:01
is set to finally give Marvel's first
9:03
family the epic, heartfelt, and
9:05
mind-bending introduction they've always
9:07
deserved. This is more than just another
9:09
superhero movie. It's a journey into the
9:11
unknown and it all begins in July 2025.
9:16
