The Only Sue Storm Explainer You Need Before The Fantastic Four: First Steps

by

Swiftly, the Fantastic Four will make their long-awaited debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe through the film titled “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.” Unquestionably, Sue Storm (portrayed by Vanessa Kirby) will collaborate with her family to underscore the significance of this super team within the broader Marvel universe. If you’re unfamiliar with Sue but curious about what sets her apart, our video above offers a comprehensive overview of the Invisible Woman—a must-watch before the movie premieres.

The upcoming Marvel Studios film titled “First Steps” has a lot to live up to, both as a standalone movie and as its contribution to the larger cinematic universe of “Fantastic Four”. Experts anticipate it will earn between $100-110 million during its opening weekend. Historically, “Fantastic Four” films have underperformed financially, with the 2015 reboot being a clear example. However, 20th Century Fox’s duology managed to last for two movies before production ceased.

Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal) and his fellow scientific pioneers face significant expectations. However, Sue, with her knack for defying boundaries, has consistently shown she’s up to the task. Her abilities to become invisible and construct protective barriers demonstrate her exceptional prowess as a superheroine.

Sue Storm and the Fantastic Four will face their greatest test

In “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” Sue Storm, her spouse Reed Richards, her sibling Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn), and companion Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) are renowned superheroes on Earth 828 — in a different universe — following being subjected to cosmic rays during a space mission that altered them all. Sue later discovers she’s pregnant, ultimately delivering her and Reed’s son, Franklin Richards. However, the destiny of their child and their world is uncertain as the Devourer of Worlds, Galactus (Ralph Ineson), appears from deep space to devour the planet.

At the moment when formal reviews were still under restriction, the overall response to the movie has been generally favorable. Film journalist Simon Thompson expressed on X (previously known as Twitter) that “First Steps” is “a truly enjoyable experience — and it’s visually astounding!” Meanwhile, critic Jeff Ewing praised the film as a “major triumph,” and The Direct co-founder Jack McBryan described it as “the most visually striking and uniquely toned MCU movie to date.

Multiple reviews have praised Vanessa Kirby’s performance as a key highlight of the movie, so if you’re eager to learn more about Sue Storm’s journey to becoming the woman she is depicted as, take a look at the video located at the beginning of this article for an engaging and comprehensive breakdown. “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” will be released in cinemas nationwide on July 25th.
