Could the Marvel Cinematic Universe be getting back on track? I don’t want to get my hopes up, especially after the steady flow of sub-par movies and streaming shows. But “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” has the potential to be something we haven’t seen from Marvel Studios in a while – a really good MCU superhero production. The film’s earlier released teaser left me more curious than excited. Well now we have the first full trailer, and despite some lingering concerns, “First Steps” looks like it could be the movie many of us have been waiting for.
In the film, Marvel’s first family live in a 1960s-inspired retro-futuristic New York city located on a parallel Earth. Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn), and Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) are beloved by the people of their planet. But their role as Earth’s defenders is challenged with the appearance of a world-consuming being known as Galactus. The slick style of the world is an immediate draw and seeing all four team members in action is exciting. On the flipside we get our first look at Julia Garner’s Silver Surfer and it leaves a lot to be desired. That aside, the new trailer is a blast and here’s hoping the movie is too.
“The Fantastic Four: First Steps” soars into theaters July 25th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.
Keith & the Movies 
This looks great and with the recent trailer for Thunderbolts*, I think I might be jumping back into the MCU wagon but with caution.
I’m still not that high on the MCU’s take on the Thunderbolts. But you know me…I’ll be giving it a shot. 😂
I’m still on the fence whether or not I’d want to see Thunderbolts* as well as it is not likely I’ll watch it opening weekend. Still, I don’t want to catch up on the MCU films I did miss as I still do not want to watch Deadpool & Wolverine and I do not want to see Star Wars: Starfighter by Shawn Levy. I’m just glad Mikey Madison said no to the project.
I’m ok with Madison saying no, but mostly because Im not sold on her as an actress. I know I’m in the minority, but the social media hounds treat her like she’s an all-timer. I need to see more before going that far.
Love Kirby and Pascal, I’m up for this!
They ABSOLUTELY help sell it.
I’ll probably see this when it comes out on streaming. The general story, about a world threat, is a reminder of The Avengers. am hoping it’ll be much different
I get where you’re coming from. I’m not high on the whole ‘alternate Earth’ stuff either.
same here. not always interested in the alternate earth premise. The F/Four characters are the story material themselves – how they deal with their abilities. and maybe one earthly villain
Agreed.
