MCU First Look at Galactus Costume in Detail

by

In a recent movie promotional event, enthusiasts got an extensive sneak peek into Galactus’ costume design for the MCU. The legendary World Devourer is slated to make his Marvel Studios debut in The Fantastic Four: First Step, taking on dual roles as the film’s main adversary alongside Julia Garner’s Silver Surfer. So far, this towering cosmic figure (previously hinted at the end of 2021’s Eternals) has only been partially revealed in the film’s advertising materials, with fans receiving only brief glimpses until now.

A recently leaked Funko Pop! figure, set for release alongside the cinema premiere of Fantastic Four, offers a detailed glimpse at the film’s principal antagonist, Galactus, like never before. Although glimpses of his costume have been seen in fuzzy merchandise photos for the Matt Shackman-directed blockbuster, this leak provides fans with their most extensive look at the character to date. The figure allows Marvel enthusiasts to marvel over every comic book-accurate detail of Galactus’ MCU outfit.

Online, MCU Film News recently unveiled sneak peeks of the Fantastic Four’s Galactus Funko Pop figure, showcasing it both within and outside its packaging.

The miniature plastic action figure of this character will undoubtedly excite any Marvel Studios enthusiast, as it showcases his MCU costume, similar to what we might see in the upcoming movie.

According to these pictures, Galactus’ on-screen appearance will be quite faithful to the comics. His main body is primarily a burgundy metallic color, with his iconic helmet having horns and resembling something robotic. The lower half consists of torso and legs. Notable purple accents adorn his body, which are characteristic of Galactus.

Even though the new Fantastic Four movie is set to hit theaters in approximately two months, there’s still little information available about its formidable villain. Marvel Studios hinted that this comic book antagonist will pose a threat of unprecedented scale for the super-powered team, but aside from this, Galactus has been kept under wraps in promotional materials before its release.

The Fantastic Four: Initial Strides indicates that the well-known Marvel Comics group will be officially introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the very first time. In this new adventure, Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach have been cast as the founding members of the Marvel family.

Titled “First Steps,” this production, helmed by Matt Shakman who previously directed WandaVision, unfolds in an alternate 1960s on a fresh Marvel Cinematic Universe planet. Here, our main characters, a group of metahumans, find themselves confronted with the arrival of the cosmic Silver Surfer, portrayed by Julia Garner, and the ominous Galactus, played by Ralph Ineson.

Breaking Down the Galactus Costume

Following several months of anticipation, fans are now getting a genuine, detailed glimpse into the appearance of Galactus from “Fantastic Four: First Steps” in the forthcoming Marvel Studios hit movie.

In trailers, the villain has been hinted at, offering quick glances of his entrance onto Earth, featuring snippets of his horned helmet and towering boots dominating over New York City (for further details on Galactus’ trailer portrayals, check out this link). Yet, this Funko Pop! leak might be the most comprehensive look fans have received so far, showing the character in full attire.

Examining the costume, it appears that Marvel Studios is sticking closely to the original blueprint for this character. Similarly to their recent approach with characters who are more unusual or unconventional in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (like Mysterio in “Spider-Man: Far From Home” and The Leader from “Captain America: Brave New World”), it seems that the superhero film franchise is staying faithful to its roots.

In contrast to past appearances as an amorphous space gas, I’m excited that the new film, First Steps, will portray the character in a more faithful adaptation of his comic book image, with a striking purple-and-blue costume that truly embodies the fearsome figure we all know.

The style of Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Galactus appears to have been strongly impacted, much like the rest of the “First Steps” universe, by the vibrant, oversaturated colors and futuristic design elements that are characteristic of the artwork of legendary Marvel Comics artist Jack Kirby.

Currently, what’s missing is a proper, official reveal of the character within the actual film for fans to see. It’s uncertain whether this will appear in promotional materials ahead of release or if we’ll have to wait until the movie hits theaters. However, given the leaks that have surfaced recently, it’s possible Marvel Studios might decide to unveil it earlier than expected.
