The Fantastic Four: First Steps Trailer Teaser Reveals First Footage Of The MCU's New Superhero Team And Confirms When The Trailer Will Release
The first The Fantastic Four: First Stepsteaser has been released. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has a big year ahead. Three Marvel movies will release in 2025, but no project is more anticipated than the studio's take on the Fantastic Four. After two fun films that faced mixed reception and an ill-received reboot, Marvel's First Family now gets the chance to come home.The Fantastic Four: First Steps updates have been few and far between, but that is now changing as Marvel gets ready to reveal what is in store for the anticipated movie.
Marvel Studios has shared the first look at The Fantastic Four: First Steps, revealing the MCU movie's full trailer will be released tomorrow at 7 AM ET.
With the trailer being released tomorrow, Marvel chose not to share much in the teaser. The MCU footage focuses on kids rushing to TVs to watch the Fantastic Four be launched into space. The team can be seen wearing white and blue space suits on the top right, while the one in the center says, "Prepare 4 Launch."
The upcoming MCU movie will feature the comics' Future Foundation, which is teased once again in the teaser's description, which reads, "The Future Foundation invites you to take your first steps into a fantastic new era."
What The MCU Fantastic Four Movie Trailer Teaser Reveals
Marvel Studios Is Setting Up The Tone
Marvel has been careful not to reveal much about The Fantastic Four: First Steps before the movie releases in theaters. Different from other projects where set photos and videos were constant, the Fantastic Four movie has kept most of its story beats under wraps. That continues to be the norm for the first Fantastic Four teaser. Marvel only showed a peek at the MCU's newest superhero team, but it was enough to tease the tone and setting of The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
Taking place in the 1960s in presumably an alternate universe, the first Fantastic Four MCU teaser shows old cars, TVs, and more to establish that movie is firmly set in a version of the past, not the present-day MCU. Directed by WandaVision's Matt Shakman, The Fantastic Four: First Steps seems to make the most out of its old-fashioned aesthetic, leaning into the space race. The teaser could be focused on the trip to space that led to the Fantastic Four getting their powers in the comics.
Our Take On The MCU Fantastic Four Movie Trailer Teaser
The Marvel Film Looks Fresh And Exciting
By setting it in the 1960s and bringing in WandaVision's Matt Shakman to direct, Marvel made sure that The Fantastic Four: First Steps would stand out from most other MCU offerings. Based on the first teaser for the Fantastic Four movie, I can say that strategy is already showing signs that it will pay off for the studio. The same sense of anticipation and excitement that fans are feeling about the MCU arrival of the Fantastic Four is reflected by the kids' enthusiasm to watch the launch in the teaser. The Fantastic Four: First Steps looks fresh and visually interesting.
