Following an extended period that seemed endless, and after numerous whispers and guesswork, Marvel’s original team is at long last making their appearance within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). We now have our inaugural trailer for Marvel Studios’ reimagining of this legendary group. Leading the cast is The Last of Us actor [actor’s name] as Reed Richards, aka Mister Fantastic, joined by Mission: Impossible star Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, aka The Invisible Woman, breakout talent Joseph Quinn from Stranger Things portraying Johnny Storm, aka The Human Torch, and Emmy Award-winning performer Ebon Moss-Bachrach from The Bear as Ben Grimm, aka The Thing. The Fantastic Four: First Steps will introduce these timeless superhero personalities into the MCU alongside characters such as Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and others, with the family poised to play a significant part in the franchise’s future. You can watch the first trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps below.
The video offers us the initial glimpse of the four main characters, who are known for their extraordinary abilities, living in a world that blends the past and future, particularly reminiscent of the 1960s. Marvel enthusiasts have been eagerly waiting for the introduction of The Fantastic Four into the MCU ever since Disney purchased 21st Century Fox in 2019. It’s anticipated that these characters will first appear in their own unique universe, separate from the rest, before eventually teaming up with other superheroes in upcoming Avengers sequels. This was indeed confirmed by Marvel chief Kevin Feige in November.
At last, we are introducing the Fantastic Four from Marvel to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Filming concludes next week, and the movie will be released next summer. After that, these characters will immediately join the upcoming Avengers films, which I’m extremely enthusiastic about for the future of the Fantastic Four.
