The time to purchase your tickets to see The Fantastic Four: First Steps has arrived! In the latest teaser, which combined scenes already shown in the official trailer with moments not yet released, audiences are given the green light to purchase their movie tickets ahead of time via Fandango!
On the website, we find that the movie remains currently unrated, but there is an intriguing fan offer involving Fantastic Four keychains (personally, I am awaiting news about a popcorn bucket). But let's discuss what we all came here for: baby Franklin Richards!
Yes, in the teaser, which included playful banter between Johnny Storm (Human Torch) and Reed Richards (Mister Fantastic), Johnny and Ben Grimm (The Thing) using their powers of fire, flight, and strength, the family car which can also fly, we see Reed and Sue's son, Franklin, and the tender moment shared between them. Like the teaser and trailer shown previously, whenever Reed and Sue are on screen, they are shown as a loving, loyal married couple, working through their own issues and troubles, but ensuring that time is spent together.
We do see more angles of the Silver Surfer and the dreaded Galactus, all culminating into one summer blockbuster. But yet John Malkovich's character is often absent, leaving many to suspect and theorize he will be playing villain Red Ghost.
With all the advertising Disney and Marvel have been doing (which is a lot, and I commend them for it), including the epic team-up with Pop-Tarts, will The Fantastic Four: First Steps be a hit or miss? Where Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts* (the New Avengers) underperformed, there have been high hopes since the announcement that The Fantastic Four will change Marvel's luck and pull through with a thrilling, adventurous, and memorable film.
We're curious as to your expectations and theories about the film and how it will connect to the next Marvel film on the slate, Avengers: Doomsday. Check out the new The Fantastic Four: First Steps teaser below!
The Fantastic Four: First Steps arrives in theaters on July 25, 2025.
