Perhaps the most highly anticipated Marvel film of 2025 is The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Our four superheroes are no strangers to the big screen, with many having fond memories of when Chris Evans donned the suit as Johnny Storm AKA: The Human Torch.
But that was before Disney had bought Marvel. Now after copious amounts of Marvel films and television shows, featuring some of the most popular and even lesser-known Marvel Universe characters, The Fantastic Four is joining the MCU.
Starring Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm/Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm/Human Torch), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben Grimm/The Thing), The Fantastic Four: First Steps released an official teaser, that already has over 8 million views in less than 24 hours. As expected, the teaser reveals that this is an alternative 1960s New York City where the style, race to space, and values of family reign supreme alongside high-tech-like robots.
With just over a minute of content audiences are able to see the strong bond our four heroes have, from Ben being the very rock and glue that has held them all together to Johnny's mixture of work and play to Reed and Sue's romantic relationship. And this is only the teaser, the official trailer is supposedly going to air during Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, February 9.
If that isn't enough to sell you, the teaser does tease the big bad of the film, Galactus, and the comment section has been flooded with nothing but positive takes on what will surely be the Marvel film fans have been waiting years for. Still not convinced?
You can watch The Fantastic Four: First Steps official teaser below and make your own assumptions. As for me, personally, I'll be happily sitting in a movie theater, popcorn in hand, ready to shake off my Marvel fatigue and enjoy a film that, so far, seems to have taken the time to perfect every detail of who The Fantastic Four are.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps arrives in theaters on July 25, 2025.
