Upon release on July 25, The Fantastic Four: First Steps earned rave reviews from audiences and critics. Our CE review of the film read, "Beyond the screenplay’s success lies the visual world the makers have carefully crafted. Matt Shakman, who proved his prowess with the retro setting of Wandavision, strikes a neat balance here between the retro and the futuristic."
The Fantastic Four: First Steps brings back Marvel's First Family—Reed Richards (Mister Fantastic), Sue Storm (Invisible Woman), Johnny Storm (Human Torch), and Ben Grimm (The Thing)—as they confront their biggest challenge yet. They must protect Planet Earth from a destructive cosmic force known as Galactus and his enigmatic Herald, the Silver Surfer. At the same time, the heroes must balance their powers and roles with familial responsibilities and the larger duty to protect planet Earth.
The film stars 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. The cast also includes Ralph Ineson as Galactus, Julia Garner as Shalla-Bal / Silver Surfer, Paul Walter Hauser as Harvey Elder / Mole Man, Natasha Lyonne as Rachel Rozman, and Sarah Niles as Lynne Nichols. The film is set in a universe, Earth-828, which goes beyond the main Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) timeline.
The film had a screenplay by Josh Friedman, Eric Pearson, and the team of Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer.
