Intimate family moments blend with cosmic superhero action
Marvel Studios sets high stakes for July release
As per The Hollywood Reporter, the Marvel Studios boss teased that the team is just days away from principal photography on 'Avengers: Doomsday', which will feature Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom.
The 'Fantastic Four: First Steps' trailer, which was not released online, showcased the team's dynamic, with Pedro Pascal starring as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the trailer revealed a personal moment for Reed and Sue, as they learn they are expecting a baby, eliciting a conflicted reaction.
Kirby's Sue Storm reassures Reed, saying, "We can do this."
As the team battles threats from Galactus, Sue remains resolute, saying, "We will face this together. We will fight it together -- as a family."
As per The Hollywood Reporter, the footage saved a big surprise for last, with the introduction of the Silver Surfer, played by Julia Garner.
The stakes are high for 'Fantastic Four', which arrives in theaters on July 25, just two weeks after DC Studios' tentpole film 'Superman'.
This will be the last Marvel Studios movie before next summer's 'Avengers: Doomsday', which stars Downey as Doctor Doom.
All four members of the Fantastic Four will appear in 'Doomsday', as revealed during last week.

I'm so excited for this! Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards is perfect casting. The family dynamic sounds like it's going to be the heart of the movie. Can't wait for July! �
Not sure how I feel about RDJ coming back as Doctor Doom... seems like they're banking too hard on nostalgia. But the Fantastic Four cast looks solid and I'm intrigued by Julia Garner as Silver Surfer!
That pregnancy storyline sounds like a really interesting way to ground the characters. Vanessa Kirby is such a great actress - can't wait to see her bring depth to Sue Storm. The family theme gives me Guardians of the Galaxy vibes in the best way.
Hoping they finally do the Fantastic Four justice after previous attempts. The casting looks promising and I love that they're introducing Galactus properly. Just hoping the CGI on The Thing holds up!
I'm cautiously optimistic. Marvel needs a win after some recent misses. The family angle could be really special if done right. Also, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm? Perfect casting right there 🔥
