Marvel’s Fantastic Four Return in Retro-Futuristic Adventure

Marvel Studios brings back its iconic superhero team with “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm. The film marks the official MCU introduction of the Fantastic Four after Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox.

Set in a retro-futuristic 1960s Manhattan, the movie takes place in an alternate universe where the Fantastic Four are the only heroes around. This departure from traditional Marvel universes allows for a fresh take on the classic characters.

The team faces off against Galactus, played by Ralph Ineson, in a battle that promises to be epic. Meanwhile, Julia Garner reprises her role as the Silver Surfer, and Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne, and John Malkovich join the cast in supporting roles.

The movie is a highly anticipated event for fans of the Marvel universe, following previous attempts by 20th Century Fox and its reboot. With Pascal, Kirby, Quinn, and Moss-Bachrach leading the charge, this film promises to be a thrilling adventure that will bring the Fantastic Four to life in a new way.
