Fantastic Four: First Steps Movie’s 6 Big Spoilers Revealed

First Steps” have been given before its release, through trailers, promotions, and interviews with Kevin Feige. Fans of Marvel Cinematic Universe are eagerly anticipating this movie, and some details have already been shared. This film marks the start of Phase 6 for the Marvel franchise on the big screen (with “Ironheart” being the initial project in this phase), and it will directly connect to “Avengers: Doomsday,” which is expected to be the most significant film within the MCU.

In simpler terms, key elements from the forthcoming film have been revealed to the audience ahead of time. These include the addition of Franklin Richards (originally missing in earlier previews due to Sue Storm’s baby bump edits), the complete appearance of Galactus, and even the entire movie soundtrack.

On July 25, 2025, you can catch the premiere of “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.” This movie brings to life Reed Richards, portrayed by Pedro Pascal, Sue Storm played by Vanessa Kirby, Johnny Storm interpreted by Joseph Quinn, and Ben Grimm, who is brought to life by Ebon Moss-Bachrach.

The 6 Major Spoilers Revealed in Fantastic Four’s Marketing and Trailers

When Sue Goes Into Labor

From the unveiled soundtrack of “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” and an interview with Vanessa Kirby, it appears that we can almost pinpoint the time when Sue Storm is expected to give birth in the forthcoming movie.

As a point of note, the 10th song on the movie’s soundtrack is named “Starship Birth,” suggesting strongly that Sue is giving birth in the storyline. Given that there are a total of 25 songs on the soundtrack, it seems likely that this scene will unfold approximately halfway through the film.

In an exciting turn of events, I must share that Sue, as mentioned in her latest chat, will be experiencing childbirth right smack in the heart of the next Fantastic Four movie. Can’t wait to see how this unfolds on the big screen!

In a typical Marvel film, giving birth midway through the story seems uncommon. This scenario necessitates potential risks for the newborn. The queries raised in this movie seem deeply rooted in human existence.

From the marketing content provided, it appears that the movie will feature a scene depicting Franklin’s birth right in the middle.

How Reed Discovers Galactus

A significant plot twist disclosed in the promotional material for The Fantastic Four is the manner in which Pedro Pascal’s character, Reed Richards, discovers the existence of Galactus. Some speculated that Galactus might surprise Marvel’s original family or their first encounter with Galactus would occur via the Silver Surfer.

It was hinted, to some extent, but it turns out that Reed will independently uncover Galactus during his investigations of various planets. According to director Matt Shakman’s interview, Reed will detect that a specific planet has vanished. In a sneak peek shared with Empire Magazine (the publication where Shakman spoke), Reed mentioned in dialogue that a planet, which was once part of the universe, is now mysteriously “missing.

This is Proxima Delphi, a celestial body that shares resemblance with our Earth. Unfortunately, the planet we once knew has vanished now.

Thanks to Shakman’s statements and the unveiling of the clip, it is now clear to the fans how Galactus will make his debut to the Fantastic Four, at least in terms of them discovering his existence and abilities.

Galactus’ True Goal

When it was initially revealed that The Fantastic Four would face Galactus as their main adversary in the movie, many fans began pondering about his ultimate objective towards them, considering they had no prior encounters, and why he decided to attack the Fantastic Four’s planet specifically.

Alternatively, rather than waiting for the movie to explain Galactus’ reasons during its less-than-satisfying run time, various trailers and previews have made it clear as to why he intends to attack Earth.

To put it simply, in these clips, it becomes clear that Galactus discovered young Franklin Richards and desires to possess him. Interestingly, Reed Richards himself hinted at attempts to negotiate with Galactus, but Galactus made it clear that he wants Franklin specifically.

“We attempted to negotiate, but Galactus… he asked too high a price. He asked for our child.”

As a cinephile, I was left feeling disheartened when a crucial plot twist was unveiled prematurely, exposing Galactus’ ultimate intention in the film.

Johnny and Silver Surfer’s Flirtationship

In the upcoming series, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, it’s unlikely that Johnny Storm and Julia Garner’s Silver Surfer will embark on a full romantic relationship. However, hints from trailers and clips suggest there might be some form of bond between them, potentially even involving flirtatious interactions.

In a single scene, you observe Johnny pursuing the Silver Surfer, who had arrived on Earth to signal its impending destruction. Eventually, they encounter each other in outer space. Upon meeting, Johnny’s fire ceases, he touches her cosmic board, and there is a fleeting moment where their gazes lock.

Nevertheless, she eventually sends him tumbling from the platform and soars away while he plummets towards Earth. In the same footage, Reed disclosed that “‘Johnny believes they shared a moment,’” implying that Johnny perceived some form of bond or connection between them.

The Movie’s Other Villains

In the movie titled “The Fantastic Four: First Steps“, Galactus and the Silver Surfer play significant antagonistic roles. Yet, there are more villains in the storyline, some of whom have been revealed through promotional materials ahead of its release.

Occasionally, the plans of the antagonists are exposed when they are shown in trailers or advertisements before the movie’s release. For instance, a sneak peek from the film unveiled Giaganto, giving away his appearance and design in the movie prematurely.

A significant detail about the villains that was disclosed is that at some stage in the movie, there’ll be a sequence showcasing several characters (a montage). Given that the Fantastic Four are an established superhero squad, this montage will offer viewers a glimpse of their most epic battles and triumphs. This way, people can get acquainted with how the team functions as a family.

The montage might have made more impact if it were kept a secret until the movie, but Marvel Studios decided that showing it in their promotional material was necessary.

The Fantastic Four’s Earth Will Survive

Without a doubt, one major plot twist leaked before the premiere of “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” concerns the fate of the family’s home planet: it will endure and thrive by the movie’s conclusion.

Ever since the revelation of Galactus, many fans have been speculating about the outcome of the movie. After the Fantastic Four made an appearance in the post-credits scene of Thunderbolts, it seems that most people now concur that this must mean Galactus destroyed the Earth of the Fantastic Four.

It appears, contrary to what one might think, that the sets from “First Steps” will indeed be utilized in “Avengers: Doomsday”. As reported by ComicBook, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige disclosed this tidbit during a roundtable discussion. Moreover, characters hailing from the main MCU universe are expected to interact with those inhabiting the Fantastic Four’s universe and Earth.

We’re filming on all the same sets constructed for ‘Fantastic Four’, and it’s quite enjoyable. The Baxter Building living room and kitchen, now synonymous with the Four bonding together… let me put it this way, there are far more people in that kitchen during ‘Avengers’. It’s exciting to watch characters entering each other’s homes, which adds a unique touch to the story.

Kevin Feige’s statement leaves many puzzled since it seems to lessen the tension for the upcoming movie. One might speculate that Feige is joking, and the Earth of the Four may still face destruction. However, considering his current comments, it appears unlikely.
