Ahead of the first trailer release in a few weeks, the leaked D23 teaser for Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps was revealed by an X user, @F4NewsFr. You can watch it below.
The teaser opened with Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn), and Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) appearing in blue and white space suits. They are seen moving toward a rocket for a historic launch, waving to the crowd as they go.
Filming primarily took place in the United Kingdom and wrapped in Spain. Currently, post-production is in full swing, and we can expect the first-look teaser during Super Bowl LIX.
Directed by Matt Shakman from a screenplay penned by Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer, which has undergone a rewrite by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber. The film stars Pascal as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing, Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne, and Sarah Niles.
What is the Plot of The Fantastic Four: First Steps?
Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Marvel’s First Family—Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ben Grimm/The Thing—as they face their most daunting challenge yet. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god named Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus’ plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren’t bad enough, things suddenly get very personal.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Garner says that her Silver Surfer character’s appearance would be “really shiny,” similar to previous portrayals of the Silver Surfer and the comic books.
Garner said, “I can’t really speak a lot about that project,” adding, “All I can say is that I’m very lucky to have a part in it, and the Fantastic Four are fantastic. They are so amazing in this. I’m very excited for people to see them. I’m assuming this Silver Surfer is gonna be really shiny, like in the previous versions and the comic books. So, yeah, that’s all I’m gonna say.”
The film is produced by Kevin Feige, Grant Curtis, and Nick Pepin.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps will hit theaters and IMAX on July 25, 2025.
