The Fantastic Four First Steps India Advance Bookings: Marvel's biggie sells 40,000 tickets from BookMyShow, 1 day out
The Fantastic Four: First Steps, directed by Matt Shakman and starring Vanessa Kirby, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Julia Garner, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and others, is all set to release on 25th July, 2025 worldwide. The hype for the movie is high in the domestic market and reasonable in its international markets. It is expected to take a near USD 200 million global start and that would be seen in a good way for the film featuring Marvel's first family. The Fantastic Four: First Steps Has Sold 40,000 Tickets From BookMyShow, With 1 Day To Go The India opening of The Fantastic Four: First Steps looks to be slightly underwhelming considering the fact that it is the last film before Avengers: Doomsday. The film has sold 40,000 tickets from BookMyShow a day prior to its release and it will target to hit 100,000 tickets by the end of the day before release. Superman had sold around 110,000 tickets, to open at slighly over Rs 6 crore and The Fantastic Four: First Steps shall target the same. Advance Bookings Of The Fantastic Four: First Steps Have Been Adversely Affected By The Saiyaara Wave The Fantastic Four: First Steps' advance bookings have been adversely affected by the Saiyaara wave. The fight for more screens continues. Till evening today, the bookings for the movie were open only in IMAX and other premium formats, and not the regular screens. If not for the screen sharing issues, the Marvel movie would be targetting an opening day of over Rs 8 crore. Regardless, these issues should hopefully be sorted over the weekend. The Fantastic Four: First Steps Will Look To Continue The Good Streak Of Hollywood Movies In India Hollywood movies have been doing well in India. The last one month has had one blockbuster in the form of F1, 1 solid hit in Jurassic World: Rebirth and 1 decent performer in Superman. The Fantastic Four First Steps will look to do better than Superman. But it is not going to be easy as week 2 shall again see a screen-sharing issue as two able Bollywood films, Son Of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2 will try their best to get good enough screens for themselves, while Saiyaara will continue to hold fort. The Fantastic Four: First Steps In Theatres From 25th July The Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theatres on 25th July. The tickets for the movie can be booked online or from the box office.

Who are Galactus and Silver Surfer? Meet MCU's new villains in Fantastic Four: First Steps
Fantastic Four: First Steps: Marvel is about to reintroduce the Fantastic Four, but this time, it's not just about stretchy arms or invisibility. The real buzz is around the cosmic villains, Galactus and the Silver Surfer. They're not your average bad guys. These two come from the far ends of space, and their presence signals a big shift in the MCU's tone. Instead of another city-level threat, Marvel is aiming for something way bigger, older, and stranger. If you're wondering who these two are and why the internet is so hyped, here's a quick, easy breakdown. Galactus: A god-like force of nature Ralph Ineson, known for his deep voice and serious screen presence, plays Galactus. But don't expect a typical villain. Galactus is older than the universe. He doesn't want to destroy — he needs to. He feeds on planets to survive, like a cosmic predator. As Ineson put it, "He's not evil. He's beyond good and evil." Galactus in 'THE FANTASTIC FOUR' Director Matt Shakman described Galactus as a '14-billion-year-old vampire,' which tells you a lot about the movie's tone. He's not going to give speeches or throw punches. He'll loom, he'll consume, and he'll make the Fantastic Four feel small. Visually, this Galactus looks more like the comics. No more cloud nonsense like in the 2007 version. He's huge, armored, and alien, with glowing eyes and a voice that could shake space. Silver Surfer: Tragic, powerful, and not who you expected Julia Garner plays Shalla-Bal, not the usual Norrin Radd. In the comics, she's from the same planet as Norrin and is often his love interest. In this version, she is the Silver Surfer — Galactus' herald, searching for planets he can consume. The first look at Silver Surfer in THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Garner says her Surfer is quiet, conflicted, and tragic. 'She doesn't speak much,' she explained in a recent interview. 'You feel her pain just from her body language.' She's not just a shiny alien on a board. She's someone who's lost everything and now serves a being who eats worlds. This version of Silver Surfer adds mystery to the film. Is she loyal? Is she planning something? Can the Fantastic Four reason with her? That tension runs through the film and adds more emotion to all the action. What is The Fantastic Four: First Steps about? Marvel hasn't released the full plot, but this isn't an origin story. The movie is set in the 1960s, on an alternate Earth. It picks up with the Fantastic Four already formed and working as explorers and scientists. According to early leaks and set reports, they get pulled into something cosmic, something way beyond science. That something turns out to be Galactus, the planet-eater, and his mysterious herald, the Silver Surfer. While Reed Richards and team try to stop them, the story also plays with themes of sacrifice, duty, and survival. Expect space travel, a retro vibe, and more serious emotions than your typical superhero flick.
