The Fantastic Four: First Steps Trailer ‘Heralds' Galactus, Hints At Family Drama
The trailer teases the team facing their most formidable challenge yet, with a chilling glimpse of the cosmic force Galactus.
The highly anticipated final trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps is finally here, offering a deeper look into the epic showdown led by Marvel's First Family. Kicking off the MCU's Phase 6 this summer, the film is helmed by director Matt Shakman and stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing. The trailer teases the team facing their most formidable challenge yet, with a chilling glimpse of the cosmic force Galactus. Julia Garner's Silver Surfer also makes a powerful impression, ominously preparing to 'herald his beginning."
The trailer opens to show the family prepared for threats, only for their Sunday Dinner to be interrupted by the Silver Surfer's entry, who tells them, 'I herald his beginning. I herald your end. I herald… Galactus."
With the lives of the people on the line, the Fantastic Four try to figure out a way to face Galactus while also facing doubts over the uncertainties. Leaning more into the family aspect of the film, the trailer also shows how the first family must not just save the world but also the people they love. 'Family is about connecting to something bigger than yourself. We'll face it together, as a family," Kirby's Sue Storm says in the trailer.
At several points, the trailer also gives glimpses of Reed Richards' and Sue Storm's baby son, Franklin. Last but not least, while the trailer did get closer to revealing the iconic Marvel villain and his story, fans will have to wait a bit longer for his final look. Marvel Studios released a new poster that gives a closer look at Galactus' face. Throughout the First Family's face-off with their most daunting challenge, one cannot miss the members' hilarious attempts to get The Thing to say the famous 'It's Clobbering Time."
It is worth mentioning that there have been several theories around the upcoming Fantastic Four film, with the final trailer also indicating that this Earth might not survive the war. This appears to justify why the Fantastic Four are set to appear on Earth-616 in Avengers: Doomsday. However, it is yet to be seen if Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom will make a cameo.
The buzz remains unconfirmed. The Fantastic Four: First Steps will be released on July 27, 2025.

Avatar: Fire and Ash trailer sparks netizen backlash over exclusive theatrical debut; ‘who do they think they are?'
James Cameron's Avatar 3 trailer is finally here — sort of. Titled Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third installment in the franchise is revving up its promotional cycle, but its first trailer is causing more outrage than excitement. The reason? It's only available in theatres. James Cameron; Avatar: Fire and Ash new poster This weekend, the long-awaited trailer will screen exclusively before Marvel's Fantastic Four: First Steps, meaning that unless you're buying a movie ticket, you're not getting a sneak peek. According to a post on the official Avatar X account, the theatrical-only rollout is part of a strategic partnership between Disney's biggest tentpoles. The film is slated for a December 19 release, with Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 already locked in for December 2029 and 2031, respectively. But while the world of Pandora continues to expand, not everyone is thrilled about how it's being promoted. Fans react to the exclusive release Across X and TikTok, fans expressed frustration over not being able to view the trailer online. 'Having a trailer play only in theaters is crazy, who do they think they are,' wrote one user. Another joked, 'I'm gonna watch a version from someone's cell phone on TikTok, just as James Cameron intended.' Some claimed the leak has already happened: 'You joke, but that's how it leaked. Cell phone recording of it playing accidentally before Superman. Then an IMAX projectionist who had the file, leaked the 4K online. Which I have.' Those who had seen the trailer offered tantalising tidbits: 'Your God no has presence here!" one wrote, teasing that the Fire Tribe and Fire Queen 'look absolutely crazy and the CGI is so freakin good.' Another added: 'Jake getting captured — there will be a lot to digest in the movie.' Still, not all feedback was negative. 'I'm going to buy a ticket just to see this trailer… and leave afterwards,' wrote one fan, while another pointed out, 'Smart move for even more asses into seats.' All is not lost, though — the franchise did offer fans a first look at its newest villain with the release of the official poster. Meet Varang, played by Game of Thrones alum Oona Chaplin, who is set to play a pivotal role in the rising conflict on Pandora. What's in the trailer? The Fire and Ash trailer was first unveiled to a select audience at CinemaCon back in April, and it's as ambitious as expected. Picking up directly after The Way of Water, the footage returns viewers to the lush, bioluminescent world of Pandora. This time, two new Na'vi tribes take the spotlight: the Wind Traders, who fly in contraptions that resemble hot-air balloons, and the Fire People, who command the skies on fiery beasts. Conflict erupts between the tribes, and in one explosive moment, a Na'vi warrior is shot down by a flaming arrow. At the heart of the drama is Jake Sully, played by Sam Worthington, who tells Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña): 'We can not live like this, baby. We can not live with this hate.' With new mythology, warring clans, and high-stakes emotion, Fire and Ash promises a darker, more intense chapter. Now all fans need is some access to the allegedly insane trailer.

Spider-Man and The Punisher will come together in the next Tom Holland film, confirms Marvel's Kevin Feige
These sure are exciting times for fans of the superhero genre, with James Gunn's Superman rewriting iconic character traits and Marvel's Fantastic Four: First Steps all set for its worldwide release this week. Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe haven't had a lot to celebrate in recent times, but some much-needed good news has just been delivered by the president of the studio, Kevin Feige. He has just confirmed that Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is going to release in July 2026, is likely to feature another iconic comic-book character, and that is going to be Frank Castle, The Punisher. While attending a roundtable discussion for the upcoming Fantastic Four, Feige shed some light on Marvel's plans for Tom Holland's Spider-Man, and how is that movie going to fare considering that it is the last MCU movie to release before Avengers: Doomsday? When asked about whether the film is going to act as a proverbial bridge, which takes the audience to Doomsday, Feige made it clear that Peter Parker is all set to explore his story now, and considering how the last film ended, he has a lot of time to focus on just himself and become the hero he needs to be. He said, 'I think there's a promise at the end of No Way Home that, for as sad as it is, Peter is forgotten by everyone in his life.' ALSO READ: Fantastic Four first reactions say Marvel dials down the noise, turns up the heart in cosmic reboot: 'Emotional punch' He added, 'We are seeing for the first time in the Tom Holland Spider-Man stories him being a proper Spider-Man. He is, by himself, dedicated to saving the city and dealing with—for lack of a better term—street-level crime as opposed to world-ending events that he faced when working with the other characters.' Kevin Feige does make a good point, because even though all of Tom Holland's Spider-Man movies have been successful and well received, it can be argued the character has always had people to rely on. He is yet to go on that 'Batman-like' lonesome journey, where he can discover himself while caring about just his neighbourhood and his city. Interestingly, the Punisher's first-ever comic book appearance was in The Amazing Spider-Man issue #129. Apart from the several gritty storylines he has been a part of in the comics, the character was brought to life by actor Jon Bernthal back in 2016, when he featured in the second season of Daredevil. Since then, Bernthal has impressed audiences with his portrayal of the 'obsessed with justice' character and even played him in two stand-alone seasons. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is all set to release on July 31, 2026.
