by

As a lifelong Marvel enthusiast who has followed the Fantastic Four since I was a kid, I must say that 2025 is shaping up to be an exhilarating year for us Four-Fans! Having grown up with the tales of Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing, it’s been a long wait to see them finally get their due in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

With the upcoming debut of the Fantastic Four in Marvel Rivals, I can’t help but feel like my childhood dreams are coming true! It’s a fantastic feeling, knowing that these heroes who laid the foundation for the Marvel Universe will now be part of one of the most popular video games on the market.

The reveal of their costumes, with its blue and white accents, brings back memories of reading old comics and imagining what it would be like to see them in live-action. And with a trailer for the game’s Fantastic Four addition coming in January, I can hardly contain my excitement!

If 2024 was Marvel’s Year of the X-Men, then 2025 is undoubtedly the year of The Fantastic Four! With the team arriving in Marvel Rivals and their upcoming film debut, it’s going to be a fantastic ride!

And as a final thought, I couldn’t help but chuckle at the idea that after years of waiting, the Fantastic Four will finally have their time to shine, just like the Human Torch himself! So let’s hope they don’t burn too brightly and melt our hearts instead!

2025 promises to be significant for “The Fantastic Four” as they are expected to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) for the first time. In preparation, these superheroes are also set to appear in the highly-anticipated video game “Marvel Rivals”. This third-person hero shooter game showcases a variety of Marvel characters, including familiar faces such as Spider-Man, Hulk, and Wolverine, as well as lesser-known ones like Jeff the Land Shark, Luna Snow, and Squirrel Girl. With excitement building over who would join the game next, it appears that in a smart move to drum up anticipation for “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”, Marvel’s iconic family will be included in the game.

As a passionate movie-goer, I can’t contain my excitement as Marvel Rivals unveiled the first glimpse of the Fantastic Four in their upcoming game! The official X account showcased an intriguing image that highlights the four extraordinary members of the Fantastic Four soaring in the Fantastic-Car, close to the Baxter Building. Joining them is H.E.R.B.I.E., a character we’ll be seeing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s upcoming series, Fantastic Four: First Steps. The trailer for the Fantastic Four addition in Marvel Rivals is set to premiere on January 6, 2025. I can hardly wait!

In the world of Marvel Rivals, I’ve noticed that the costumes for my favorite superhero team, The Fantastic Four, share a striking resemblance with those planned for their MCU counterparts. Instead of the usual black and blue suits, these versions feature a blend of blue and white, which is quite intriguing. It seems that The Fantastic Four might be joining Marvel Rivals a few months prior to the release of “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” in theaters, presumably to generate excitement for the upcoming film. Additionally, I’m guessing that each member of the team will have alternative skins inspired by their MCU counterparts, much like how Marvel Rivals already offers MCU-inspired costumes for characters such as Thor, Namor, and Adam Warlock.

The Fantastic Four Could Dominate 2025

As a long-time comic book enthusiast who grew up reading about the Fantastic Four, hearing that they will be prominently featured in Marvel Rivals is nothing short of exhilarating for me. For years, I have watched as my favorite heroes, Mister Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, The Human Torch, and The Thing, were sidelined and overlooked by Marvel due to legal complications with 20th Century Fox. It felt like a personal blow, knowing that these characters who laid the foundation for the Marvel Universe I love so dearly were being left out of merchandise, licensed products, and many big Marvel projects.

But now, finally, it seems that the tables have turned and the Fantastic Four are getting the recognition they deserve. Seeing them take center stage in Marvel Rivals fills me with a sense of joy and hope for the future of these characters I’ve followed for so long. It’s a testament to their enduring appeal and the impact they’ve had on generations of fans, including myself.

I can’t wait to see how the Fantastic Four will be portrayed in Marvel Rivals, and I have high hopes that this is just the beginning of a new era for these iconic characters. It’s moments like this that remind me why I fell in love with comics in the first place – the thrill of seeing beloved heroes finally getting their due recognition and the excitement of imagining what incredible adventures they will embark on next.

Based on the arrival of the Marvel Rivals: Fantastic Four trailer in January, fans are anticipating a teaser for The Fantastic Four: First Steps around February. It’s quite probable that there will be a Super Bowl advertisement and a trailer before Captain America: Brave New World screenings, marking this event as approximately one year after Marvel announced their cast on Valentine’s Day 2024. Given that 2024 was the Year of the X-Men with the releases of X-Men ’97 and Deadpool & Wolverine, it looks like 2025 will be all about The Fantastic Four, starting from their appearance in Marvel Rivals to the release of First Steps.
