As a film enthusiast with a lifelong passion for Marvel comics and cinema, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the upcoming reboot of The Fantastic Four. Having grown up reading about this iconic superhero family, I’ve always dreamed of seeing them brought to life on the silver screen in a way that does justice to their stories.
At last, we’ve got a clearer picture of the MCU revamp of The Fantastic Four, as a recently unveiled synopsis has finally shed light on significant aspects of this eagerly awaited Marvel film. Originating from a Disney press release (via @F4Update on Twitter), it’s now confirmed that “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” will be set in a world reminiscent of the 1960s, complete with a retro-futuristic feel. The superhero family will grapple with the formidable supervillain Galactus, portrayed by Ralph Ineson, and his herald, The Silver Surfer, played by Julia Garner. Here’s the new synopsis for your perusal:
Amidst a colorful, futuristic setting reminiscent of the 1960s, ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ presents Marvel’s founding family – Reed Richards (Mister Fantastic), Sue Storm (Invisible Woman), Johnny Storm (Human Torch), and Ben Grimm (The Thing). These extraordinary individuals are confronted with their toughest challenge yet. As they strive to uphold their heroic duties, the unbreakable bond of family ties them together. The threat this time is no ordinary one; it’s a ravenous space deity named Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). If the prospect of Galactus consuming the entire Earth and its inhabitants wasn’t alarming enough, things quickly become personal.
The Fantastic Four’s Initial Journey
The Fantastic Four: First Steps Will Be Part of Phase 6 of the MCU
Earlier, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige revealed some intriguing details about the upcoming MCU reboot of The Fantastic Four. As many had guessed, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is set to be a “retro” story taking place in the 1960s. This tale will likely unfold in a different universe compared to the rest of the MCU. However, due to the multiverse’s chaos, it won’t take long for Mister Fantastic to join forces with heroes like Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and others on the big screen.
Absolutely, my friend! Indeed, it was a significant timeframe. Many intelligent individuals observed that the urban landscape wasn’t an exact replica of the New York City from the 1960s in our universe. Their insights were sharp and accurate, I must admit.
Many enthusiasts have long anticipated the inclusion of The Fantastic Four in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Feige shares this eagerness, describing the main characters as “iconic cornerstones of the Marvel universe.
I can hardly contain my enthusiasm! These characters are Marvel Universe staples, iconic pillars if you will, and we haven’t delved into them meaningfully outside of Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness and a few tantalizing previews. Now, we get to do it in this film, and that’s why I’m so eager!
The movie “The Fantastic Four: Initial Journey” is set to premiere on July 25, 2025, as part of Phase Six in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This phase will also feature “Avengers: Doomsday” on May 1, 2026, an unnamed Spider-Man sequel on July 24, 2026, and “Avengers: Secret Wars” on May 7, 2027.
