Fun The Fantastic Four: First Steps Facts
The Fantastic Four were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, debuting in 1961. The fact that they were the 1st superhero team published by Marvel Comics allowed them to be acclaimed as Marvel’s First Family, boasting a variety of iconic stories and introducing some of Marvel’s most revered characters in its pages. Galactus, The Silver Surfer, Doctor Doom, Black Panther, The Inhumans, The Skrulls, and Kang the Conqueror are among the noteworthy characters who first appeared in Fantastic Four comics and stories such as the team’s origin, The Coming of Galactus, This Man … This Monster, The Trial of Reed Richards, Three, pretty the much the entire Mark Waid & Mike Wieringo, run, their part in Civil War, pretty much the entire Jonathan Hickman run that led into the Event Series Secret Wars, and the recent Life Story are wonderful reads! A Fantastic Four film was shot in 1992 under the Constantin Film company, directed by Oley Sassone and produced by Steven Rabiner with Roger Corman and Bernd Eichinger, with no intention of ever being released, and it never was. Soon thereafter, 20th Century Fox acquired the film and licensing rights to Marvel’s First Family (sharing a working agreement with Constantin Film), along with other Marvel characters such as Daredevil and The X-Men. Marvel sold these rights in an effort to stay afloat as they filed for bankruptcy. The upstart Marvel Studios, under the direction of Avi Arad arranged a seven-picture deal with Fox that would see Fox finance and distribute their Marvel films with Marvel Studios assisting in a production role that would give them a say in the script-writing process, the hiring of directors, and in casting. X-Men (2000) was the first film produced under this arrangement followed by Daredevil (2003), X2: X-Men United (2003), Elektra (2005), Fantastic Four (Constantin Film / 2005), X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), and Fantastic Four: Rise of The Silver Surfer (Constantin Film / 2007).
2005’s Fantastic Four starred Ioan Gruffudd (Mister Fantastic), Jessica Alba (The Invisible Woman), Chris Evans (The Human Torch), and Michael Chiklis (The Thing) with Julian Michaels (Doctor Doom). The film grossed $333 million worldwide but was a critical failure (28% on Rotten Tomatoes).
2007’s Fantastic Four: Rise of The Silver Surfer featured a returning cast from the 2005 film with Lawrence Fishburne voicing Norrin Radd / The Silver Surfer. The film grossed $301 million worldwide but boasted another disappointing Rotten Tomatoes score of 37%.
In 2015, after 8-years on the shelf and in a new era for Marvel films following the debut of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2008, a third Fox-produced Fantastic Four film was released, this time without any involvement whatsoever from Marvel Studios, titled Fant4stic starring Miles Teller (Mister Fantastic), Michael B. Jordan (The Human Torch), Kate Mara (The Invisible Woman), and Jamie Bell (The Thing) with Toby Kebbell (Doctor Doom). Directed by (and later disowned by) Josh Trank, the film was a mess, with the filmmakers dramatically clashing with executives. The movie was a major box office bomb ($167 million) and was saddled with an embarrassing 9% Approval Rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Marvel Entertainment found the Fantastic Four brand to be so tarnished and its “relationship” with FOX to be so damaged, Fantastic Four titles ceased being published in 2015, with Ike Perlmutter infamously insisting that Marvel should stop promoting characters that they did not own the licensing rights to (the role of The X-Men in Marvel Comics was significantly reduced as well, in favor of The Inhumans).
On December 17, 2017, the Walt Disney Company announced that an agreement had been reached with 20th Century Fox that would see Disney acquire Fox’s television and film divisions, among other things. Disney had acquired Marvel Entertainment at the end of 2009, and Marvel Studios with it. The lucrative Fox deal therefore landed the film rights to Marvel’s First Family under the Disney / Marvel Studios umbrella. Fox shareholders unanimously approved the transaction on July 27, 2018, and the deal was finalized on March 20, 2019. The Fantastic Four returned to the Marvel Comics Universe in 2018.
2022’s Marvel Studios film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness saw Marvel Studios formally introduce Marvel’s First Family into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the casting of actor John Krasinski as Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic 15-years removed from Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. This marked the first appearance of a member of The Fantastic Four within the MCU, though this version resided from the MCU 838-Universe where he was a member of the esteemed Illuminati as opposed to being featured in the traditional MCU 616-Universe (the Sacred Timeline as it were). Still, the film provided viewers a unique and unprecedented opportunity to see Mister Fantastic share the screen with popular Marvel characters such as Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), Professor X (Patrick Stewart), and The Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen). From there, Marvel Studios cast MCU veteran Chris Evans (who portrayed Steve Rogers / Captain America for Marvel Studios in several films from 2011-2019) to reprise his role as Johnny Storm / The Human Torch in the 2024 film Deadpool and Wolverine where he shared the screen with Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and a Multiversal Variant of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine.
At the 2022 San Diego Comic Con, Marvel Studios CCO Kevin Feige announced The Fantastic Four: First Steps as an MCU Phase Six film. At D23 that Fall. Kevin Feige announced that Matt Shakman (WandaVision) would Direct the first formal MCU Fantastic Four movie. Early on, the Marvel Studios team decided to forego retelling the team’s origin story on film. After delays pertaining to the Hollywood Writers’ and Actor’s Strikes of 2023, the film commenced production in early-2024, and on Valentines Day of 2024, the primary cast of Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach was formally announced by Marvel Studios. At the 2024 San Diego Comic Con, the title of Marvel Studios’ MCU Fantastic Four film was revealed as The Fantastic Four: First Steps; a hint to the Cinematic debut of Reed and Susan’s son Franklin Richards. Also at SDCC, the film’s main cast was confirmed to be reprising their roles in the Marvel Studios film Avengers: Doomsday, which would see MCU veteran actor Robert Downy Jr (who portrayed Tony Stark / Iron Man in 10 MCU films from 2008-2019) portray the Fantastic Four’s traditional arch-nemesis Doctor Doom.
Ebon Moss-Bachrach previously portrayed David Lieberman / Micro in the previous incarnation of Marvel Television’s Netflix MCU series The Punisher: Season One.
Marvel Entertainment published an in-Universe tie-in / prequel comic to The Fantastic Four: First Steps ahead of the film. The book is written by Matt Fraction and illustrated by Mark Buckingham and details the team’s inaugural mission against The Mole Man while offering intriguing insights to Reed Richards and Johnny Storm.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps is a unique Marvel Studios MCU production in that no part of the film takes place in the MCU 616-Universe; the series of films and television shows that comprise the Marvel Cinematic Universe beginning with Marvel Studios’ 2008 film Iron Man and extending through Marvel Television’s 2025 show Ironheart. While some projects, such as Avengers: Endgame, Loki Seasons One and Two, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, The Marvels, and Deadpool and Wolverine have featured Alternate Universes / Realities, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is the first MCU project to not feature a single scene in / on Earth-616 / The 616-Universe. This makes The Fantastic Four: First Steps uniquely accessible to both new and longtime MCU viewers alike.
The mid-credits scene of The Fantastic Four: First Steps teases Robert Downey Jr’s Doctor Doom’s link to / rivalry with the team ahead of 2026’s Avengers: Doomsday, as we see Doom Interacting with Franklin Richards. It is unknown as of the release of the film, whether or not Downey’s Doom is from Earth-828, though Doom’s home Nation of Latveria is visually referenced in the film on more than one occasion.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps became the 37th consecutive MCU film produced by Marvel Studios to debut at # 1 at the Box Office, dating back to 2008’s Iron Man. The 35 previous films are Iron Man (2008), The Incredible Hulk (2008), Iron Man 2 (2010), Thor (2011), Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), The Avengers (2012), Iron Man 3 (2013), Thor: The Dark World (2013), Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Ant-Man (2015), Captain America: Civil War (2016), Doctor Strange (2016), Guardians of the Galaxy Volume Two (2017), Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Thor: Ragnarok (2017), Black Panther (2018), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Ant-Man and The Wasp (2018), Captain Marvel (2019), Avengers: Endgame (2019), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), Black Widow (2021), Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021), Eternals (2021), Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), Thor: Love and Thunder (2022), Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022), Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2024), Guardians of the Galaxy Volume Three (2024), The Marvels (2024), Deadpool and Wolverine (2024), Captain America: Brave New World (2025), and Thunderbolts* (2025).

My The Fantastic Four: First Steps Review
As a longtime fan of The Fantastic Four as Marvel Comics characters, I was so very highly anticipating this movie, I rationally believed going in that there was no way the film would live up to the hype that I had built up for it in my heart after longing to see a Marvel Studios take on these characters set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe ever since FOX’s Fant4stic came out in 2015, and was such a monumental disappointment. Well, I’m immensely thrilled to say that this motion picture exceeded every lofty expectation that I had! It was satisfying, mind-blowing, and I dare say enchanting; an instant classic, and an immediate all-time great MCU film for me! I LOVED everything about this wonderful movie, and after 30-years of inconsistency from the mid-1990’s up 2015, Marvel’s First Family was FINALLY done right on the Silver Screen!
The Fantastic Four: First Steps opens on Earth-828 and gives viewers a perfectly timed update on the backstory to the characters in terms of how they became who they are. Modern-day is set 4-years after Reed Richards / Mr. Fantastic, Susan Storm / The Invisible Woman, Ben Grimm / The Thing, and Johnny Storm / The Human Torch were exposed to Cosmic Rays in Space and received their remarkable abilities / superpowers. During the time since, the team of astronauts that became affectionately known as “The Fantastic Four” have saved their world from various threats, including the Mole Man, the Red Ghost and his Super-Apes, Giganto, and The Mad-Thinker, (yes, we get brief snippets of each of these villains and their defeats in the opening minutes of the film)!
The Fantastic Four exist on Earth-828 as celebrity superheroes. It seems that everyone knows their story and that everyone loves something about these heroes! Reed Richards is probably the most esteemed member of the team. As the World’s Smartest Man, it was Richards who pioneered mankind’s first venture into Space on Earth-828, and society reflects many of Reed’s extraordinary scientific breakthroughs and achievements. Indeed, the Earth itself in the 828-Universe is of the retro / futuristic variety, and those disappointed with the lack of extensive exploration of Earth-838 in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, will appreciate how well this world is fleshed-out over the course of this film. It’s as familiar as it is different; a world that achieved monumental scientific breakthroughs before its loss of innocence. This is, for the most part, a peaceful, proud, and hopeful civilization that believes in heroes and goodwill, and a better tomorrow! And that’s quite beautiful!
As for the Fantastic Four themselves, they really are a family, and the filmmakers captured that in a way that has never been captured on film before! Reed and Susan are husband and wife and very much in love and Johnny loves his sister as much as she loves him, and Ben loves Reed as a best friend and carries so very much respect and admiration for Sue, and Johnny and Ben have a very brotherly relationship. Do they bicker? Absolutely! Do they disagree? Of course! But you never doubt as a viewer that there is nothing at all that any one of these characters wouldn’t do for the other. The chemistry amongst the cast is hard to explain with words. You don’t just believe that they love each other, you FEEL it, and that adds so much to so many scenes, because when one hurts, they ALL hurt, and that gives this movie an emotional depth that other team-up films often lack. This isn’t about tension and opposites attract and whatnot, it’s about FAMILY and that makes the stakes quite unique compared to other MCU movies.
So, much earlier in this movie than I expected, The Silver Surfer arrives to Earth-828 to announce the Coming of Galactus. This perfectly coincides with the pregnancy of Susan Storm; a celebrated achievement that was two years in the making for she and Reed. This baby significantly raises the personal stakes for the Fantastic Four. The threat of Galactus means the utter destruction of their world, but the baby effectively makes it mean MORE to Reed and Sue and Johnny and Ben. This isn’t just about Planet Earth. It’s about the baby! If you’re a parent, you understand! Unborn children boast the potential to be SO MUCH MORE than us, and that it is one of the greatest aspects of being a parent. It’s about legacy and it’s about how much GREATER they can be than we, the parents, ever were or ever will be. It’s a very unique example of hope and it’s both beautiful AND scary, and this film effectively taps into all of that!
With The Silver Surfer announcing Earth’s doom, The Fantastic Four of course, take it upon themselves to defend their world. This is the core of what drives Reed Richards: Solve Everything. Because you can! The F4 decide to seek out Galactus, and after tracking the energy signature of The Silver Surfer, they venture to a distant star system to confront the planet-devouring Space God. This goes as you’d expect … the F4 are in over their heads, and Galactus is in full control of the situation, but agrees to meet with them. As cases are pleaded, Galactus reveals that he will spare the Earth in exchange for Reed and Susan’s unborn child, whom Galactus claims is destined to usurp him as the all-devouring Space God fueled by the Power Cosmic. This of course, horrifies everyone, and they want no part of this deal, and they scurry to flee and return home. This is no easy task, and complicating matters, Sue goes into labor mid-flight. Eventually, The Surfer is outsmarted, Sue gives birth (to Franklin), and the team returns home.
I have SO MUCH to say in praise of all of this! First, Reed … he is perfectly presented up to this point in the film as the flawless-yet-flawed scientist of unmatched brilliance that is SO good at the big, Cosmic things, but so bad at the simple day-to-day tasks that regular people are consumed with! Furthermore, he is perfectly depicted as the loving, admiring, genius friend, husband, and brother that is forever in mourning over what happened to the people that matter to him most! He helped make the most of a terrible situation, and despite ALL that they have accomplished post-Cosmic event, Reed still views said event as his greatest failure for all the ways that it negatively affected those who matter most to him. This is for me, the single greatest attribute of the Mr. Fantastic comic book character, and the Marvel Studios team got that right here! Next … The Silver Surfer. Holy rabies, guys, Shalla-Bal is an absolutely amazing part of this film! I know a lot of you reading this love Norrin Radd as The Surfer, and rightfully so, but if you can go into this film without those preconceived reservations, believe me, there is A LOT to love about the presentation of this version of The Surfer! From the sound of her voice to her stoic matter-of-the-fact conviction, to the way she moves, flies, and soars, and on to the physical look of the character and how the metal reflects / interacts with its surroundings … this is first-rate, state-of-the-art stuff, and Julia Garner seriously steals every single scene that she is in while boasting remarkable chemistry with Joseph Quinn’s Johnny Storm / The Human Torch, that remains an important plot point throughout the movie.
Johnny Storm … my goodness, Joseph Quinn is THE quintessential Johnny Storm, and that’s coming from one of the biggest and proudest Chris Evans fans that you will ever meet! The sincerity that he brought to this role was a breath of fresh air. He comes off as a funny, flirtatious, and daredevil type of personality and rightfully so, but he’s also smart, ambitious, and caring in ways we’ve never seen this character on film. He loves his sister unconditionally, gives Reed a hard time only because he’s not quite sure that Reed is good enough for his sister, and as for Ben … they’re best friends; playful and harassing for sure, but loving first and foremost and man, the whole dynamic with Quinn’s Johnny and Ebon-Moss Bachrach’s Ben Grimm was captured in such a way that reflects everything that makes their relationship so great in the comics. This Johnny is no self-centered immature buffoon; he’s a smart, fun-loving, and most of all, LOYAL member of this team, and that plays itself out again and again in this movie!
Marvel Studios / The Walt Disney Company
Ebon-Moss Bachrach IS The Thing! When I saw the trailers, I was disappointed with the voice, as I’m used to the gravely, raspy Thing voice, but I forgot about that real quick in this film and just latched on to the courage and the kind eyes of this Hulking character. I know that The Thing was a CGI character, but at NO POINT in this movie did I not believe that he was a living, breathing, member of this cast, and that’s a testament to the movie-making magic of Marvel Studios! Ben Grimm was the glue that held this team together, whether he was punching, rescuing, encouraging, cooking, or delivering the baby!
As for Galactus … wow! The days of the Cloud Monster from Fantastic Four: Rise of The Silver Surfer are forever gone! Galactus was still a Force of Nature here, but he was so in all of his comic book glory! He was BIG, yes, but he was equally sinister, complex, and intimidating … The way in which he devours his planets was cleverly explained through complex technology that made it feel grounded in the MCU in that old Marvel way that made us feel like we could look out our own windows and see Iron Man flying around or turn on the television and see a press conference revolving around the exploits of Captain America. It’s high concept sci-fi, yes, but it felt REAL and that added, once again, to the stakes of the movie. Galactus felt SCARY and that was really cool!
With all of these positives though, it may have been Susan Storm that shined most! Vanessa Kirby was everything you could hope for in a live action Susan Storm! Powerful, empowering, friendly, sisterly, wifely, motherly, brave, stubborn to a fault, inspirational … her first instinct was to protect her unborn son, her beloved husband, her brother, her dear friend … this sequence at this point in the movie sees her trying to cloak her team’s ship while fighting against a Space God and GIVING BIRTH with hopes to return home … you can take your woke and shove it! This was girl power yes, but it was purely the stuff of heroes, and this was the type of heroism that only a woman; a MOTHER, a SISTER, a WIFE can produce, and it was BEAUTIFUL and MAJESTIC and POWERFUL and through streaming tears, I LOVED it!
So, back to the plot, Franklin Richards is born and The Fantastic Four return home … and what a great evolution to this story this is! If all of the cheers and hero worship felt unrealistic or too on the nose to you earlier in the film, you’re rewarded here, because, back home, Reed admits that they refused to hand their baby over to Galactus in exchange for the safety of the Earth, and The Fantastic Four become public enemy # 1! This is a wonderful plot point from Marvel Studios as the debate rages over whether the life of one is a viable sacrifice for the life of billions. Again, if you’re a parent, you really can relate here, and it’s beautifully presented with Reed knowing completely that delivering Franklin to Galactus is the right mathematical equation, but at the same time realizing that the personal human experience trumps such things … it’s a captivating moral debate, but as a parent, I know that for me, there would be no debate to be had, and Vanessa Kirby again shines here as she, in the face of a world that hates her and her baby, steps out from her tower to talk to the people face-to-face and plead her case in such a way that the people can’t help but adore her …
“I will NOT sacrifice my baby for this world … and I will NOT sacrifice this world for my baby!”
Stand. Fight. Together. As One. Family.
From there, Reed – inspired by Sue – decides to try and best Galactus by teleporting the Earth to a safe Space. Nothing short of a one-world movement (sans Latveria) transpires to accomplish the feat and The Fantastic Four are the trusted heroes of the Earth again until … The Silver Surfer (despite the best efforts of Johnny Storm) intervenes and lays waste to their best laid plans. Now, Galactus is coming … and there is no stopping him.
Except that maybe there is! Reed decides that instead of teleporting Earth somewhere else, that Galactus can maybe be teleported somewhere else and that’s the NEW plan! Residents are transported to Subterranea (the underground of the aforementioned Mole Man) in order to reduce casualties. Then, Galactus arrives.
Marvel Studios / The Walt Disney Company
The Coming of Galactus is incredible! Imagine it in your mind, and yeah, they pretty much nailed it, from the destructive Ocean waves to cars and buildings being crushed, to the confronting Fantastic Four being absolutely manhandled. Reed Richards is stretched to his limits by a physically dominating Galactus. You’re just waiting for him to flick Richards off like a rubber band as he tortures Mr. Fantastic. It’s horrific! The Thing is hurled almost into orbit! Susan Storm and Johnny Storm are both treated as if they are both ants. The physical dominance is surreal and terrifying. The Fantastic Four are WAY out of their league! This is purely “I can’t believe that I’m seeing what I am seeing!” for longtime comic fans and I was here for all of it!
Franklin, having been used as bait (and Vanessa Kirby’s primal roar when she agrees to this may be the single greatest piece of acting in this film) is eventually tracked by Galactus, and this is the stuff of horror movies! Susan Storm, however, is not going to give up her son easy, and she digs into the deepest parts of her soul and with no care for her own well-being, she FIGHTS! The rest of her team rally, with Ben and Johnny together and a wounded Reed reaching down deep, and somehow, someway, Galactus is subdued and set up for defeat … he isn’t going to go easy either though, but Johnny is ready to make the sacrifice play, and he does … only to be abruptly cut off by The Silver Surfer, who forcefully tumbles into a black hole with the World Eater. Earth-828 (and Franklin Richards) is saved!
Susan Storm, however, is not, and she succumbs to her wounds, dying as the savior of Earth. Reed does his best to save his wife, but to no avail. An upset Franklin is allowed to touch his mother one last time, and he shockingly uses the Power Cosmic to bring her back to life and then playfully clap in approval of his miracle! The team is of course, flabbergasted, but it matters not. Franklin may be the most powerful of them all, but he is nonetheless the best of them all; an entity to be reluctantly feared for sure, but unconditionally loved, nonetheless!
In a chilling post-credits scene set 4-years later, we see Franklin encountering an uninvited Doctor Doom in a tease for Avengers: Doomsday!
I thought the final battle in this film was amongst the best in MCU History! Seeing Galactus casually trample everything in his path en route to fighting Marvel’s First Family was incredible and the epic showdown between the World Eater and The Fantastic Four had everything any diehard fan could have ever wanted! It was all SO very well done and it was tense and suspenseful and enticing! The last-minute hero swerve with The Surfer caught me by surprise, despite the earlier Johnny Storm / Shalla-Bal come-to-Jesus meeting, and that’s a testament to the outstanding pacing of this film. Again, this was top-tier MCU stuff from start to finish!
There is so much that I haven’t even touched on that I want to praise about this movie! H.E.R.B.I.E. was amazing! The Fantasticar was awesome! Though I could’ve dome with more of her, Natasha Lyonne was awesome as Rachel Rozman (Ben’s love interest)! Ralph Inseon looked and SOUNDED the part of Galactus! Pedro Pascal was SO good during Susan’s death / resurrection scene! The Family Dynamic between the members of The Fantastic Four was SPOT ON! All of the casting was just incredible! (Sarah Halley Finn really is the MCU’s unsung hero)! I loved the feel of the movie, set in a more innocent time period and the talk shows and propaganda (does that world truly apply here?) and I think the only thing I can possibly say negatively is something that my wife leaned over and said to me in the theater at the end of the movie: If only Stan Lee could’ve seen it!
The Fantastic Four: First Steps shows that Marvel Studios still has PLENTY to say and still has a lot of proverbial gas in the tank! For me personally, even after well over 50 MCU feature length projects, it was a dream come true to see some of my most favorite (and most iconic) Marvel characters brought to life in a completely satisfying way that conveyed on film what has made these specific characters mean so much to me over the years. Looking ahead, Avengers: Doomsday promises to show these characters sharing the screen with many of the awesome Earth-616 characters that have fueled the MCU over the years, but even without that, this film stands alone as a beautiful commentary on LOVE, FAMILY, and HOPE! This completely blows away every Cinematic interpretation of these characters and was an absolute homerun by Marvel Studios!
