Contains spoilers for “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”
In “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” the cosmic being Galactus (Ralph Ineson) proposes to save Earth-828 from destruction under one condition: Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal) and Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby) must give up their newborn child, Franklin. However, you may wonder why Galactus desires Reed and Sue’s baby; this is the question we at Looper also asked, which is why we’ve prepared a video to address it, available for your viewing above.
Initially, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” the inaugural Marvel Cinematic Universe movie showcasing Marvel’s Original Team, has received significantly greater excitement than its preceding three adaptations. As of now, the movie boasts a highly favorable 88% rating from critics and an impressive 92% audience approval on Rotten Tomatoes. Estimates suggest that it could gross approximately $125 million in theaters by the end of its opening weekend.
A significant aspect of the movie’s appeal lies in its portrayal of the Fantastic Four as a tight-knit family unit, and the depiction of Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman navigating parenthood. However, Galactus reveals that Franklin Richards, the offspring of supernaturally gifted humans, possesses colossal powers within him. These powers could potentially enable Galactus to cease his cosmic wandering and destroy planets, with Franklin assuming his role instead. Although the film hints at Franklin’s unique qualities, it is in the comics where we uncover the complete picture of who Franklin Richards truly is.
Franklin may have a role to play in Avengers: Secret Wars
In Marvel Comics lore, the offspring of Reed and Sue Richards is born with extraordinary powers, classifying him as a mutant. His abilities are so remarkable that he’s categorized as an Omega-Level mutant. Notably, in various comic book narratives, Franklin eventually assumes the role of Galactus, taking on the title of the World Devourer. A hint at his powers is subtly shown in “First Steps” when, near the film’s end, he resurrects his mother after she’s killed during the final battle with a colossal cosmic entity.
