Okay, so apparently, the geniuses at Marvel thought we needed ANOTHER trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Yes, because the first 50 trailers weren’t enough to convince us that this movie will either be the best thing since sliced bread 🍞 or a dumpster fire 🔥 of epic proportions. Either way, July 25th is gonna be interesting.
The “final” trailer (until the next “final” trailer drops, obviously) for The Fantastic Four: First Steps graced our screens today, a whole month before it hits theaters. Because, you know, we might forget who these characters are in the next 30 days 🗓️. The trailer basically spoon-feeds us the introductions to Marvel’s First Family, just in case we’re all living under a rock 🪨 and can’t figure out who the Human Torch is (hint: he’s the one on fire 🔥). We also get to see The Thing channeling his inner lumberjack 🪓 with a rock beard (because subtlety is for losers) and the Invisible Woman doing… stuff. Apparently, she can do more than just turn invisible, which is shocking 😲 because that’s literally her name. It’s all very “action-packed,” which is code for “we threw a bunch of CGI at the screen and hoped it would stick.” Watch it below if you dare 😈.
But wait, there’s more! Director Matt Shakman did an interview with Empire, where he dropped the bombshell 💣 that Doctor Doom won’t be in the movie. Yes, you read that right. The arch-villain of the Fantastic Four universe is MIA. Shakman’s exact words were, “Doom is not a part of my film, and therefore not a part of my purview.” So, basically, he’s saying, “Don’t blame me, I just work here.” But don’t lose hope, Doom fans! There’s always the post-credits scene 👀, because the MCU loves to dangle carrots 🥕 in front of our faces.
Remember that other trailer? The one where Galactus was casually strolling through New York City like he owned the place? Well, this trailer gives us a better look at his herald, The Silver Surfer. But here’s the kicker ⚽: it’s not Norrin Radd, it’s Shalla-bal! Yes, they gender-swapped the Silver Surfer. Because why not? It’s not like comic book fans are already angry enough 😡.
Shalla-bal, played by Julia Garner, utters the immortal words, “I herald, Galactus,” in a voice that’s supposed to be chilling 🥶 but probably sounds more like she’s ordering a latte at Starbucks ☕. Then, Galactus kicks a car. Riveting stuff, folks.
So, mark your calendars 🗓️ for July 25, 2025, when The Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theaters. Will it be a triumph? Will it be a train wreck 💥? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure: the internet will have plenty to say about it.🍿
