THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS TV Spot Puts Family First and Teases Franklin Richards' Superpowers — GeekTyrant
Marvel Studios is leaning hard into the family vibe with its newest TV spot for The Fantastic Four: First Steps . The short promo shifts the spotlight from cosmic threats to something far more personal… Reed Richards and Sue Storm are expecting a baby.
While we do get flashes of superhero spectacle, the promo's biggest question doesn't involve fighting Galactus, it's whether or not the baby will have powers.
As you know, Franklin Richards isn't just some toddler. In the comics, he's a cosmic powerhouse capable of rewriting reality and creating entire universes. He's basically a god in OshKosh B'gosh.
And according to rumors, Franklin's powers are going to be a major factor in the film. Some insiders even claim that Galactus has plans for the child that haven't been fully revealed yet. Then there's Doctor Doom, who could use powers like that, and the character is likely being set up for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars .
Vanessa Kirby, who plays Sue Storm, recently spoke about what drew her to the role. 'I've always been really interested in the mess of femininity, and how can you be both? How can you be all the things?
'Not just the tough, invincible, powerful woman, but also a mother who gives birth, which is itself a superhero act. I love that these characters are real humans in a messy family who argue and try to work it out and get things wrong.'
Watch the new TV spot fo r The Fantastic Four: First Steps below and get ready to meet the MCU's next game-changer… still in diapers.
The movie is set to be released in theaters on July 25, 2025.
