The Fantastic Four: First Steps
{4.5/5} “Who wants to see a big explosion?”
The Fantastic Four: First Steps, released in 2025
Reed Richards and Sue Storm are having a baby. When the Silver Surfer arrives on Earth she warns that Galactus the Devourer is going to destroy the world. The Fantastic Four find evidence that this has happened elsewhere, so they decide to go out into space to check things out rather than wait. They actually watch a planet being destroyed, and then Galactus pulls them into his huge ship.
This movie has a delightful tone. It has a great look to it.
I like how the superheroes don’t just solve the problem themselves but work together with regular people.
Natasha Lyonne and Mark Gatiss have small parts.
Stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn. Directed by Matt Shakman (WandaVision).
