Natasha Lyonne, who plays an undisclosed role in Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps, has revealed that the movie will have Interstellar-type vibes.
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Lyonne teased that The Fantastic Four: First Steps feels like an outer space movie, similar to Interstellar. According to her, “It is all very Interstellar-type stuff, coming at it from different directions.”
In The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the famous superhero family lives as celebrated heroes in a retro-futuristic world, but they’re hiding a big secret—they’re not from this universe. While trying to find a way back to their real home, they face new dangers like the Silver Surfer and the looming threat of Galactus.
Filming recently wrapped in Spain, and the movie is now in the post-production stage. Matt Shakman directs the film from a script penned by Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer, which has undergone a rewrite by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber. The film stars Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ebon 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.
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.
