FAQs: (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel Marvel Studios has just dropped a fresh trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, offering fans a much deeper look at the film that officially kicks off Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). From The Thing sporting a rocky beard to the eerie metallic voice of the Silver Surfer, the new footage raises several questions — and leaves some major reveals just out of trailer, packed with new scenes, hints at a longer timeline than fans may have expected. We see Susan Storm before and after giving birth to Franklin Richards, suggesting the events of The Fantastic Four: First Steps span several months. While fans get exciting glimpses of Galactus and the core team in action, the most surprising details are hidden in the smaller moments — like Ben Grimm's beard and the Silver Surfer's fans get their first full look at Ralph Ineson as Galactus in Fantastic Four: First Steps, and he's as massive and menacing as fans had hoped. Towering over Earth in a comic-accurate design, his presence signals a true cosmic-level threat that could rival even Infinity trailer also introduces Julia Garner's gender-swapped Silver Surfer, who delivers the spine-chilling line: 'Your planet has been marked for death.' The metallic tone of her voice and her sleek, otherworldly design are already sparking buzz across social Pascal (Reed Richards), Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm), Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm), and Ebon Moss‑Bachrach (Ben Grimm) appear as a seasoned Fantastic Four, already a tight-knit unit. Set against a vibrant 1960s retro-futuristic backdrop, the trailer hints at major emotional stakes—especially when Sue subtly reveals they're expecting a baby. This turns the looming apocalypse into something deeply the light-hearted Marvel formula—this trailer leans into tragedy and tension. The tone feels weighty and somber, reminiscent of the Galactus Trilogy from the comics, and echoes the emotional depth of Infinity War. It's a bold shift that promises more heartbreak and sacrifice than typical MCU see glimpses of each hero's abilities: Mr. Fantastic's stretchy limbs, Sue Storm's elegant force fields, Johnny blazing through the sky, and the Thing's rocky form. But it's Ben Grimm's emotional depth—especially in his eyes—that stands out, hinting at a more humanized portrayal of the team's fans will love the nods to Marvel lore: the sleek Fantasticar, the iconic Baxter Building, the Marvel‑1 rocket, and even H.E.R.B.I.E. the robot. The setting, designs, and soundtrack scream classic sci-fi with a fresh MCU of the most unexpected visuals in the new Fantastic Four trailer is The Thing — aka Ben Grimm — sporting a rocky beard. Until now, we've always seen the character clean-shaven in previous adaptations. The sudden appearance of facial "rock hair" raises plenty of questions: can The Thing actually grow a beard? If so, how? And why would he wait to grow it out now?Given that we see Human Torch (Johnny Storm) carrying The Thing mid-air — beard and all — it suggests this moment comes later in the movie, possibly in the third act. This supports fan theories that the movie spans a longer period rather than just a few chaotic days. Some viewers have even speculated whether this means there's a time jump midway through the film. The details are vague, but this unusual character detail has already started trending across fan forums and social trailer also gives us a longer look — and listen — at the Silver Surfer. And yes, her voice. The Surfer is now portrayed with a female voice, and her lines have a chilling, metallic echo that perfectly suits her role as the harbinger of Galactus. While Marvel hasn't officially revealed the actress voicing the character, speculation is rampant online, with some fans guessing names like Gugu Mbatha-Raw or Tilda Surfer's line in the trailer—delivered with calm dread—announces Galactus' imminent arrival. This suggests she plays a key part in the final act, possibly arriving just before Earth faces its greatest threat yet. Marvel's decision to gender-flip the character has received mixed reactions, but most fans are intrigued by the fresh see more of Galactus in this trailer than before, but not enough to satisfy die-hard fans. His full face still hasn't been shown. We catch a glimpse of his massive chest and see him stomping around an alternate-history version of New York City, but his full design remains under follows a familiar Marvel Studios playbook — teasing the villain while saving the big reveal for the theater. Some shots also appear to show Reed Richards (played by Pedro Pascal) sticking something into Galactus' leg, though the context isn't clear also worth noting that Galactus seems to "awaken" during the trailer, meaning he may not be the immediate threat at the beginning of the film. Marvel seems to be holding this reveal back for a more dramatic Pascal's version of Reed Richards brings something new to the table — including a moustache that has already stirred online debate. In the trailer, he stretches both his arms and legs, landing on a platform and attacking Galactus' leg. While it's not the most extensive look at his powers, it's enough to suggest he's in control of them and uses them portrayal seems more grounded compared to past versions, focusing on leadership and problem-solving rather than flashy stunts. That said, fans are still waiting to see how far Marvel is willing to go with his elasticity powers. For now, the trailer only gives a of the biggest questions still hanging over the movie is whether Doctor Doom will show up. Director Matt Shakman recently addressed this in an interview but gave an awkwardly phrased answer that didn't entirely rule it of now, there is no official confirmation that Robert Downey Jr. will appear as Doctor Doom in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. However, given Marvel's track record of surprises, fans aren't convinced we've seen the last of him. What we do know is that the movie will directly set up Avengers: Doomsday, which hits theaters in December Doom isn't in First Steps, we may see him make his debut in Doomsday, possibly as a post-credits reveal or key inclusion of Sue Storm's pregnancy — and scenes showing her both before and after giving birth — is a strong hint that The Fantastic Four: First Steps unfolds over a long stretch of time. That's unusual for Marvel films, which often focus on events spanning days or birth of Franklin Richards may also signal a larger role for the Richards family going forward. In the comics, Franklin is a powerful mutant with reality-warping powers. Introducing him early could be Marvel's way of laying the groundwork for future storylines that connect to the X-Men and multiverse now has a rock beard, teasing a major timeline shift in the Silver Surfer is female and speaks with a metallic voice in the latest trailer.

The movie is rooted in the old-fashioned optimism that inspired the comic that birthed the modern Marvel Universe in 1961.

The Final ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps' Trailer Ups the Stakes Even Further
We're a month away from the arrival of the next Marvel movie in Fantastic Four: First Steps, and Marvel is reminding us in style with a brand new trailer—one that really wants you to feel the stakes that are riding on this movie, in more ways than one. Prior looks at First Steps leaned into the Silver Age retro-kitsch of its world, and then the arrival of Julia Garner's Silver Surfer to herald the threat of the dread, Galactus. But now this final big trailer for the film really wants to remind us that we kind of already have an inkling how this might go down for the Fantastic Four. And that the arrival of Ralph Ineson's devourer of worlds is very grave news indeed. Because yes, hanging over the threat of Galactus' arrival on this particular Earth in Marvel's multiverse, we know that, thanks to the set up at the end of Thunderbolts, at some point the Fantastic Four have to make their way from this reality to the prime reality of the MCU. Whether they'll have done so after beating back Galactus successfully, or whether they're looking to other realities in the hope they might be able to help find a new home, remains to be seen. Or maybe we should believe Kevin Feige and that ship is not at all related to this version of the Fantastic Four! However it goes, things are going to get quite dire for Richards family and their friends before all that—we'll find out how dire when Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theaters in one month, on July 25.
