Marvel Studios has finally released the first trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which has created a lot of excitement among fans. After the previous two Fantastic Four franchises, this time, viewers are hopeful that this is going to be a truly good Marvel movie.
The trailer was released on February 4—a symbolic date—on Marvel Entertainment’s official YouTube channel. In this new version, Pedro Pascal will be seen as Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as the Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing. In addition, Ralph Ineson will be seen as Galactus and Julia Garner will be seen as the Silver Surfer. Other notable actors include Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne, and John Malkovich.
The trailer has received a huge response since its release, already gaining over 5 million views. It shows the moments before and after each superhero gains their powers. In particular, the trailer highlights the presence of Galactus and how the Fantastic Four will work together as a team. In particular, Invisible Woman’s line “No matter what, we will fight together—as a family” has been a hit with viewers.
The fan response has also been overwhelmingly positive. One user on the X (formerly Twitter) platform wrote, “Please be good.” Another YouTube user commented, “I’m 50 and I’m taking my dad to see this movie because it was the first comic he taught me.” Another said, “I didn’t realize I’d be this excited until I saw the trailer.”

Following the trailer’s release, Variety reported that the main cast was in attendance at a special launch event. Pedro Pascal said, “This is a cast that has a real family feel. Every day when we said goodbye at the end of the shoot, we thought, ‘When will we see each other again?’ We gave our minds, souls, and bodies to this movie.”
The new Fantastic Four movie is set in 1960s New York City. Marvel boss Kevin Feige has confirmed that it will be set in a retro-futuristic setting.
Two Fantastic Four movies have been released so far. The first series in the 2000s starred Ian Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, and Michael Chiklis. Then, a reboot was made in 2015, starring Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan, and Jamie Bell. However, that movie failed to win over audiences.
However, Marvel’s new effort has fans hoping that Fantastic Four will finally emerge as a strong superhero franchise.
