First Images From “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” Arrive Alongside Teaser

The first teaser for The Fantastic Four: First Steps was launched onto the internet this morning, and the official countdown even occurred, with the central cast, at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. There, stars Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben Grimm/The Thing), and Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm/The Human Torch) hit the retro-looking launch button and we were off.

It was a fitting intro to the trailer itself, which revealed director Matt Shakman’s vision of a retro America was a stellar choice to take on the period piece, having done period-perfect work spearheading Marvel’s very first Disney+ series, WandaVision. The trailer’s vibe is pleasingly retro, from the Fantastic Four’s stellar Baxter Building (where the Core Four have dinner every Sunday at 7, no matter what, as Pascal’s Reed Richards informs us), and H.E.R.B.I.E. the robot, who is helping Ben Grimm prepare dinner.

The teaser includes a moment when Mr. Fantastic recalls the first time the Core Four launched into space before Ben was a rock, Sue was invisible, and Johnny caught fire. “Ben has always been a rock,” Sue Storm says, “and Johnny is Johnny, and I’m right here. Whatever life throws at us, we face it together — as a family.” It’s a touching sentiment in a film that looks unafraid to deal with such emotions and is set in a period when hope felt like a more abundant resource.

Along with the teaser, Marvel has revealed a few photos to whet our appetite for the film, which arrives in theaters on July 25. Those photos include Johnny Storm looking lost in space, the Thing and H.E.R.B.I.E. preparing dinner, Reed Richards on a chalkboard, and the Core Four suited up and ready to roll. Our featured image is of Kirby’s Sue Storm, looking to be prepared to lose her identity as she becomes invisible.

Let’s have a look at those photos:
