Flashspoter - It was only a matter of time before Marvel Studios made it official. The Fantastic Four are heading to the big screen with the new title “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.” Their reveal was one of the highlights of Marvel’s Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic-Con 2024 on Saturday, July 27.
Director Matt Shakman, who’s in charge of the project, said that filming would start late July 2024 in London, England. The movie, opening July 25, 2025, is the first time we will see Marvel’s “First Family” in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.”
What came out of the Hall H panel was quickly shared by the Marvel Studios on their social media. They are celebrating the film’s official title and production start date.
Pedro Pascal will play Reed Richards / Mr. Fantastic in the new Fantastic Four team, while Vanessa Kirby will be Sue Storm / Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn will be Johnny Storm / Human Torch and Ebon Moss-Bachrach will be Ben Grimm / The Thing.
The movie will also include Ralph Ineson as the cosmic threat Galactus, while Julia Garner will play Silver Surfer, reimagined through the Shalla-Bal version of the character. In addition, it has been confirmed that John Malkovich, Paul Walter Hauser, and Natasha Lyonne will be there, however, the details of their characters have not been disclosed.
The script was created by Eric Pearson, Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan, and Ian Springer based on a story by Peter Cameron. Long-time Marvel collaborator Michael Giacchino will compose the score.
Shakman during the Comic-Con panel talked about the movie style as “a retro-futuristic take on the 1960s” basically a mixture of the usual mid-century look with out of this world era technology and visuals. He also said that First Steps is not going to be a standard origin story, implying that the Fantastic Four are already there in the MCU’s timeline at the time of the movie.
Although the story is a secret, the dramedy is said to blend typical sci-fi expedition with the loving nature and the jokes which make Marvel's most famous family.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps is only coming to theaters on July 25, 2025.
