Fantastic Four: First Steps Could Revive Marvel’s Glory!

by

Greetings to those who are gradually regaining their thoughts after the Marvel Studios casting revelation that felt like a marathon of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Despite it not being on the 2025 movie calendar, there was plenty to talk about during our lengthy Avengers: Doomsday live blog. Let’s not overlook the other Marvel Cinatic Universe films set to hit theaters soon as well.

Actor Paul Walter Hauser, who stars in “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” believes that this upcoming Marvel film will leave audiences feeling fantastic! In an interview with The Direct, Hauser spoke highly of director Matt Shakman’s reboot, which is set to hit theaters on July 25th.

Though it’s unclear what Hauser’s specific role is, his enthusiastic statement hints at the reasons behind his optimism towards the (retro) future.

In my view, our film, “Fantastic Four: First Steps,” based on my personal experience working on it and observing its creation, seems to me like the standout Marvel movie of this year.

What makes The Fantastic Four: First Steps thrilling is that Paul Walter Hauser’s acting preparation seems to have taken his talents to new heights. As a movie fan, I appreciate this level of dedication in an actor.

Mr. Hauser’s assertion isn’t difficult to assess given that the only other Marvel Cinematic Universe film this year is Thunderbolts. So, it won’t be a tough sell for me to agree or disagree about its accuracy. I was already eager to see Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn in The Four, but after watching the first Fantastic Four trailer, I have a strong inclination that this rollercoaster ride will live up to expectations.

Why not take advantage of this amazing deal? For just $10.99 a month, you can explore the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe across Disney+ and Hulu streaming services. If you prefer an ad-free experience, you can upgrade to $19.99 a month, which now includes all three previous Fantastic Four movies and Deadpool & Wolverine titles. Grab this offer while it lasts!

I’d consider watching the new Fantastic Four reboot on Disney+, drawing from my Marvel universe favorites, just to see how it stacks up against past excitement. This suggestion comes partly from Paul Walter Hauser, who has shown strong support for Marvel Studios by pointing out similarities between two specific titles. In his own words:

“I’m looking forward to checking out the new Fantastic Four on Disney+, especially since I can compare it to some of my favorite Marvel stories.

I strongly feel that this will be remembered as one of those groundbreaking moments that set off a wave of triumphant storytelling for our company, much like how Guardians of the Galaxy and Black Panther did. They made quite an impact, and I think we’re on the verge of making one too.

Regardless of your current opinions about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s hard to argue against the fact that those movies you’ve mentioned were unexpected successes when their production seemed well underway. Given what we understand about The Fantastic Four: First Steps, this project appears poised to repeat that feat by emphasizing vibrant optimism and futurism.

Energy from James Gunn’s Superman could help keep Marvel Studios competitive, potentially sparking a series of successful blockbusters. This renewal might revitalize the Marvel legacy, inspiring optimism and keeping our gaze fixed on the heavens.

If you’re not looking forward to the upcoming installment of the First Family of Superheroes, I challenge you to stick with that sentiment upon reading Paul Walter Hauser’s remarks. You’ll have ample opportunity to ponder his words, as The Fantastic Four: First Steps is slated for release in cinemas, and possibly into our hearts, on July 25th.
