Marvel’s upcoming superhero film, Fantastic Four: First Steps, has generated overwhelmingly positive reactions from early viewers and critics alike. Directed by Matt Shakman, the movie marks the first Fantastic Four installment in nearly a decade.
The film, set in an alternate 1960s universe, appears to be more than just a period piece – it’s also being touted as a disaster epic. The team, comprising Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Thing (Ebon Moss-Bassrach), and Human Torch (Joseph Quinn), must work together to save their home from the Silver Surfer and impending Galactus.
Their impressive performance in last weekend’s Superman and Thunderbolts has set a high bar, with many praising First Steps as potentially something different from Marvel’s usual fare. The film is scheduled for release on July 25, just ahead of its original premiere date. Stay tuned for io9’s review of the movie in the coming days.
