AceShowbiz - Marvel Studios thrilled fans at D23 by revealing the first look at the costume for "The Fantastic Four: First Steps". This reboot, which is set to breathe new life into Marvel's First Family, stars celebrated actors including Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm.
Joseph Quinn, who plays the fiery Johnny Storm, appeared in a stunning 1960s-inspired costume, fully capturing the essence of his comic book character. Interestingly, Quinn sports a blonde wig to align more closely with his iconic persona. The actor expressed his excitement about working with his co-stars, especially Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who portrays The Thing. "He's an inherently funny man," Quinn said, noting the unique dynamic Moss-Bachrach will bring to the character.
Another intriguing detail revealed from set photos suggests that Vanessa Kirby (or her stunt double) was spotted in a blue costume, with a scene involving her cradling a baby as she falls onto a crash pad. This particular plot point has stirred up speculation that the film will introduce Reed and Sue's young son, Franklin Richards, an incredibly powerful mutant with reality-shaping capabilities.
The film's storyline, which pits the Fantastic Four against the cosmic threat of Galactus and the Silver Surfer, promises a thrilling adventure. The impressive cast also includes Ralph Ineson as Galactus, Julia Garner as Shalla-Bal/Silver Surfer, as well as Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich and Natasha Lyonne in mystery roles. The screenplay, shaped by talents from "Avatar: The Way of Water", "WandaVision" and "Black Widow", is expected to offer a rich narrative tapestry that will see Marvel's First Family making their grand entrance into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
With a release date of July 25, 2025, "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" is poised to be a significant chapter in the MCU. As filming progresses, fans can expect more tantalizing tidbits and maybe a few more spy shots from the set.
