    Synopsis for “Fantastic Four: First Steps” Surfaces

    At long last, the First Family of Marvel Comics is coming back to the big screen. It’s been 9 years since the team last had a live-action feature film, and the less said about “Fant4stic” the better. No shade to the cast, but, that film was…not good.

    This next version has the possibility of being something special. This will be Marvel Studios’ first time overseeing the Fantastic Four. With tried-and-true “WandaVision” helmer Matt Shakman is directing, and the cast alone for this outing is enough to set our expectations SUPER high.

    Pedro Pascal (“The Last of Us“) will play Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby (“The Crown,” “Mission: Impossible“) is Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn (“Stranger Things,” “Gladiator II“) is Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (“The Bear“) is Ben Grimm/The Thing.

    Julia Garner (“Ozark,” “The Americans“) is playing Shalla Bal/The Silver Surfer. Paul Walter Hauser (“Blackbird“) was also added to the cast, but his role is also being kept underwraps. John Malkovich (“Billions,” “The New Look“) is playing an undisclosed role in the film, while Ralph Ineson (“Game of Thrones,” “The VVitch“) will be the Devourer of Worlds himself- Galactus.

    Synopsis

    “Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world…Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, The Fantastic Four must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer. And if Galactus’ plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren’t bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal.”

    We are absolutely IN for the retro-futurism of 1960s and space travel as the backdrop for this film.

    “Fantastic Four: First Steps” is due in theaters July 25th, 2025. We’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
