The first teaser doesn’t tell us too much about the plot, but it gives us a glimpse of the Fantastic Four’s origin story and the film’s retro-futuristic feel. Sue Storm delivers an emotional speech about their unity in the face of hardships, saying “Whatever life throws at us, we face it together – as a family.”
Galactus is teased as the main villain in the trailer, but he won’t be the only big bad that the Fantastic Four will have to face. His enigmatic herald, the Silver Surfer, is also expected to make an appearance in the film.
The star-studded cast of this project is led by Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing. They’ll be joined by Ralph Ineson, Julia Garner, Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne, and Sarah Niles in supporting roles.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps will be released on July 25, as the first film of Phase Six of the MCU.
Pascal’s casting doesn’t come as a huge shocker for Marvel fans since he’s been rumored to play Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic for quite some time. It’s still a true miracle he found time in his busy schedule to lead this project, since he’s also a star of the hit TV shows The Mandalorian and Last of Us.
Pascal will be in pretty good company on the set since he’ll be joined by Vanessa Kirby (The Crown, Mission: Impossible franchise) as Sue Storm aka the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things) as Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Bear) as Ben Grimm aka the Thing.
Matt Shakman (WandaVision) is on board to direct this film, which hails from writers Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan, and Ian Springer. The Fantastic Four will be released in theatres on July 25, 2025, as a part of the Phase Six of the MCU. Thos slot was previously reserved for Thunderbolts, which moved to May 2, 2025.

Vanessa Kirby most recently starred as Princess Margaret on Netflix’s hit series about the English monarchy, The Crown. Variety reports that the 30-year-old British BAFTA winner is in final talks to star opposite Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham in the high-speed franchise.
The next installment in the Fast and Furious franchise is helmed by director David Leitch (Deadpool 2) from a script by Chris Morgan — who joined the franchise with Tokyo Drift and has since penned six films.
Johnson and Statham will reprise their roles of Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw, respectively. Kirby is set to play an MI-5 agent and Shaw’s sister.
Production on the feature is scheduled to commence this fall but the storyline is scarce.
The eight Fast and Furious installments have grossed more than $5.1 billion at the global box office.
