Note: This post contains potential spoilers for Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps had its early press screening on July 18, 2025. The first reactions are calling the movie “a cosmic visual feast grounded in family.” Some say the story doesn’t fully soar, but the cast, score, and retro style stand out. It’s a confident and promising start for Marvel’s first family.
It is confirmed that The Fantastic Four: First Steps has two post‑credit scenes: one will connect to Avengers: Doomsday and the other will be a humor scene.
According to scooper MyTimeToShineH, it was revealed that, “In The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Marvel originally planned a post‑credits scene with Chris Evans as Nomad coming to warn them. Then they replaced it with one featuring Doctor Doom. Now, in the final version, there are two post‑credits scenes.”
Recently, we got a report that Evans was spotted on the set of Avengers: Doomsday, and he is returning as Steve Rogers/Captain Hydra.
According to Box Office Theory, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is tracking to earn around $24 million in Thursday previews and over $130 million in its opening weekend. That would make it the biggest comic book movie opening since Deadpool & Wolverine.
Here’s the plot details for The Fantastic Four: First Steps:
Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Marvel’s First Family — Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), and Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) — 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, the 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.
The film also stars Walter Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne, and Sarah Niles. Directed by Matt Shakman, produced by Kevin Feige, and executive produced by Louis D’Esposito, Grant Curtis, and Tim Lewis.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theaters and IMAX on July 25, 2025.
