Marvel’s First Family have arrived in The Fantastic Four: First Steps teaser trailer

The wait for Marvel’s First Family is over. Marvel has unveiled the first teaser trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

The first footage introduces a new crop of superheroes, including Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing. Set in a retro-futuristic version of 1960s New York City, the teaser explores the lives of the four before and after they received their powers.

The Fantastic Four must work together to defend Earth from a planet-destroying space god named Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). “Whatever life throws at us, we face it together as a family,” Sue says in the teaser.

Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne, and Sarah Niles also star.
