Marvel Studios unveils the first trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, offering a captivating glimpse into one of 2025's most anticipated superhero films.
The trailer showcases Mr. Fantastic, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and The Thing, alongside the formidable villain, Galactus. Opening with a dinner scene at the Baxter Building, the trailer highlights the film's stylish 1960s retro-futuristic aesthetic and hints at an epic New York showdown. We witness Ben Grimm's transformation into The Thing, and both he and H.E.R.B.I.E. (the Humanoid Experimental Robot B-Type Integrated Electronics) are shown displaying their culinary skills.
Elsewhere, Sue Storm briefly demonstrates her powers as Invisible Woman, and Johnny Storm takes flight as the Human Torch. While Reed Richards' elastic abilities as Mr. Fantastic are not prominently featured in this initial trailer, a notable appearance by John Malkovich, rumored to be portraying Ivan Kragoff (the Red Ghost), adds intrigue.
The trailer's launch event took place at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, where stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach interacted with enthusiastic fans.
Scheduled for release on July 25, 2025, the film stars Ralph Ineson as Galactus and Julia Garner as Silver Surfer, alongside Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne, and Sarah Niles. Matt Shakman directs, and Kevin Feige, head of Marvel Studios, produces.
