Watch out for your planet, Earthling: This article contains spoilers for "The Fantastic Four: First Steps."

In a time-tested fashion of delivering the good news first, let's note that "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" does justice to the titular quartet. Pedro "I star in everything" Pascal makes for a charming, calculating Reed Richards who fully recognizes his "worst case scenario" mindset isn't very healthy. Vanessa Kirby's strong and capable Sue Storm keeps the team together, being the group's most powerful member in more ways than one. Ebon Moss-Bachrach's Ben Grimm has largely made peace with his rocky condition, offering nuggets of wisdom and powerful punches as needed. Joseph Quinn infuses Johnny Storm with a mixture of the character's traditional swagger and a surprising self-awareness. All in all, the Fantastic Four are making their world a better place, and even their potentially insufferable robot sidekick H.E.R.B.

Marvel Studios may not have a panel at the San Diego Comic-Con this year, but they do have a movie that has made its way out into theatres just in time for Comic-Con weekend: The Fantastic Four: First Steps! We’ve seen the early reactions and we know what JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray thought of the movie (you can read his 8/10 review Here) – and now we want to know, what did you think of The Fantastic Four: First Steps?

There have been several attempts to bring the Fantastic Four to the screen over the years, to varying levels of success. Roger Corman produced a low budget adaptation of the comic book back in 1994, but it was never officially released. Tim Story directed two big budget Fantastic Four movies that were released by 20th Century Fox, Fantastic Four (2005) and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007). In 2015, Fox gave the...

Hollywood Records is set to release The Fantastic Four: First Steps Original Motion Picture Soundtrack digitally on all major music platforms today, July 18. The soundtrack features an original score by Academy®, Emmy®, and Grammy® Award-winning composer Michael Giacchino. Giacchino’s score augments the strikingly unique world of the film with buoyant orchestrations (recorded at Abbey Road Studios with a 101-piece orchestra and 100-piece choir), as well as creating a vintage vibe using classic synths including the Arp 2600 and Mellotron.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Marvel’s First Family — Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) as they face their most daunting challenge yet. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must...

It's about to get fantastic because Marvel Studios’ next big-screen adventure is a week away from landing on our Earth.The Fantastic Four: First Steps is the next major leap for the MCU as moviegoers careen toward Avengers: Doomsday. Pedro Pascal (Mister Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby (The Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn (Human Torch), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Thing) are setting the stage as they take on the dreaded Galactus (Ralph Ineson). However, with every major MCU entry comes the anticipation of new merchandise. In particular, the Hot Toy figure released by Sideshow Collectibles. Now their version of Marvel's “First Family” is here.

Sideshow has teased their entire Fantastic Four collection. This includes 1:10th scale statues from Iron Studios for each colorful member of the Marvel Team for $225 Usd or $205 each. Every character has their own unique quirk to them. For example, The Human Torch is completely on fire, Mister Fantastic...

Unlike other MCU epics like Avengers: Endgame and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Marvel Studios’ upcoming adventure, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, won’t hover around the three-hour mark. According to a post by BBFC, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is 116 minutes long, making it one of the shortest films in MCU history.

One reason The Fantastic Four: First Steps could be shorter than typical for a sprawling MCU affair is that John Malkovich’s role as Ivan Kragoff, aka the Red Ghost, is no longer part of the film. According to First Steps director Matt Shakman, Malkovich’s Red Ghost appeared in an early sequence of the movie, with the Fab Four battling the villain and his army of Super-Apes.

“There were a lot of things that ultimately ended up hitting the cutting room floor,” Shakman explained to Variety. “When we were building a ’60s retro-future world, introducing all of these villains,...

The Fantastic Four: First Steps arrives in theaters next weekend, and according to Deadline, the next Marvel Studios movie is currently eyeing a $100 million - $110 million start.

As the trade puts it, "I kept hearing 'Oh, Disney is nervous,' but the stats look good: With $13M presales as of Monday, Fantastic Four is pacing ahead of the presales for Thunderbolts ($74.3M) and Captain America: Brave New World ($88.8M 3-day) and 20% behind Superman ($125M)."

So, yes, for those of you who care about that kind of thing, it does appear that Superman's domestic opening will be bigger than The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Marvel Studios has a week to give the movie a final push, and the MCU is likely to perform better than Superman overseas, so we'll see what happens.

The first critic reactions for The Fantastic Four: First Steps arrive late on Monday, but film pundit Robert Meyer Burnett has shared on X,...

While DC‘s Superman has its time in the yellow sun atop the box office, Marvel Studios is hot on the Blue Boy Scout’s tail with The Fantastic Four: First Steps touching down in theaters on July 25. First Steps marks a new beginning for the Fab Four after two middling Fox movies (2005’s Fantastic Four and 2007’s Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer) and Josh Trank’s dreadful 2015 adaptation of Fantastic Four. Disney and Marvel are ready to rewrite the past with a bold, new take on the First Family of Comics, with efforts including an unstoppable promotional campaign. The latest piece of PR is a gallery of Time Magazine covers featuring the stars and characters of The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Check out the covers below!

Marvel Studios has released a new clip from The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which features Silver Surfer (Julia Garner) arriving on Earth to announce Galactus’s imminent arrival. “Your planet is now marked for Death,” she says. “Your world will be consumed by the devourer. There is nothing you can do to stop him, for he is a universal force, as essential as the stars.“

After two previous attempts to bring Marvel’s First Family to the big screen fell short, the pressure is on Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios to finally get it right and deliver the adaptation fans have been waiting for. “I think that there are no four characters that are more important for the history of Marvel,” Feige said. “When Disney bought Fox, it was really an unexpected dream come true. It came at the perfect time, to help us launch into a new era. They are Marvel’s First Family,...

This July packs a powerful punch with two of the most anticipated superhero films of the year, Superman and The Fantastic Four: First Steps, coming to theaters. While DC’s Superman has its expectations to leap over in a single bound, a lot rides on Marvel‘s latest attempt at bringing the First Family of comics to the silver screen. The Fantastic Four are renowned for presenting audiences with middling movies, but First Steps looks to change that. In the latest trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, director Matt Shakman and Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige take us behind the scenes of the Fab Four’s next cinematic adventure, which looks fantastic!

Marvel Studios is finally introducing the Fantastic Four into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and fans got a good look at the movie thanks to a new behind-the-scenes video called Fantastic First Look.

In this featurette, director Matt Shakman and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige shared what it took to bring Marvel’s first superhero team to the big screen. The film, titled The Fantastic Four: First Steps, will hit theaters on July 25, 2025.

Unlike previous versions, this movie doesn’t retell the origin story. Instead, it starts with the team already working together. The story takes place in a cool, retro-futuristic world inspired by the 1960s, mixing that old-school vibe with sci-fi elements. The team includes Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm.

“I’m more aware of disgruntlement around my casting than anything I’ve ever done,” Pascal told Vanity Fair about playing Reed Richards.

Some of the criticism the actor heard following his casting was, “He’s too old. He’s not right. He needs to shave.”

The latest addition in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thunderbolts*, just reached theatres at the start of last month – but the next entry in the franchise isn’t far off, as The Fantastic Four: First Steps is set to reach theatres on July 25th. With that date exactly one month away, the final trailer for the film has now dropped online and can be seen in the embed above.

There have been several attempts to bring the Fantastic Four to the screen over the years, to varying levels of success. Roger Corman produced a low budget adaptation of the comic book back in 1994, but it was never officially released. Tim Story directed two big budget Fantastic Four movies that were released by 20th Century Fox, Fantastic Four (2005) and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007). In 2015, Fox gave the property to Josh Trank so he could bring a reboot to the screen…...

Marvel fans expecting a super-sized runtime for The Fantastic Four: First Steps might want to reset their clocks. While AMC Theatres previously listed the film at a generous 130 minutes, the theater chain has just quietly shaved that down. The upcoming MCU reboot is now officially clocking in at 115 minutes, making it the shortest Marvel Studios release of 2025. For context, that’s 1 hour and 55 minutes — a fairly standard runtime by most blockbuster standards, but surprisingly compact for an MCU film that’s introducing a brand-new reality, a massive villain like Galactus, and Marvel’s First Family all in one go.

This isn’t just a minor tweak. The original runtime of 130 minutes (just over two hours) had positioned First Steps among the longer entries in the Multiverse Saga. Now, with only a month to go until the film hits theaters on July 25, AMC’s updated listing brings it down by a full 15 minutes.

On July 25, Pedro Pascal will become the second actor to portray Mister Fantastic in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, after John Krasinski in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The actor beat out several fan favorites for the superhero role, which led to him being on the receiving end of several unjustified complaints.

In a cover story for Vanity Fair, Pascal admitted that he was well aware of the criticisms and complaints that were thrown in his direction following his casting as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic. "I’m getting an inkling of excitement because it seems to reflect what our common goal was, and what we want to share, which is all of our f***ing hearts on a platter within this genre. You just never know if people are going to be disgusted by your heart or not," he shared. "I’m more aware of disgruntlement around my casting...

The Fantastic Four: First Steps hasn't even hit theaters yet, and it's already breaking records. An updated runtime for the next Marvel Cinematic Universe movie has been revealed ahead of its theatrical release in July.

According to AMC Theatres, The Fantastic Four: First Steps has an official runtime of one hour and 55 minutes (115 mins). This is an updated runtime for the MCU movie, as the theater chain's website had previously listed a runtime of 130 minutes for First Steps. At 115 minutes, The Fantastic Four: First Steps will also be the longest movie based on Marvel's First Family ever made. Its runtime vastly exceeds any of the previous four adaptations, which clocked in at 90 mins (Constantin Film's unreleased 1994 movie), 92 mins (Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer), 100 mins (Josh Trank's 2015 reboot),and 106 mins (2005's Fantastic Four).

It appears ‘The Fantastic Four: First STEPS’ has a new updated runtime of 1 hour and 55 minutes.

Vanessa Kirby is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Sue Storm in the upcoming film Fantastic Four: First Steps. Before stepping into her new role, she received advice and support from some of the MCU’s biggest stars, including Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, and Mark Ruffalo.

Kirby described the MCU as “like a community” where the actors look out for each other, adding, “It’s like an extended family, especially when you’re involved in projects like Avengers. If we interact with them, it’s going to be really fun.”

In the new Fantastic Four movie, Kirby’s character Sue Storm is more than just a superhero. She’s also a wife, a leader in the Future Foundation, and a soon-to-be mother. Kirby shared how Sue’s role goes beyond the usual superhero story. “You may not feel like a superhero, but your identity changes so much when you navigate...

The Fantastic Four: First Steps will finally bring Marvel's First Family into the MCU. Opposing them will be the supervillain Galactus, portrayed by Ralph Ineson in the upcoming film. He will be serving as the big bad of the movie, a contrast to what happened with the previous Fantastic Four movie.

Released in 2015, Fant4stic was directed by Josh Trank, who co-wrote the script with Jeremy Slater and Simon Kinberg. The panned film did not feature Galactus as the villain, though that was the initial plan. In a new interview with ComicBook, Slater spoke about why he's excited to see Galactus playing a big part of Fantastic Four: First Steps, given the character's absence in the 2015 film. As Slater lamented, he really wanted to use Galactus in the ill-fated film, but the powers that be eventually had him written out.

You never know who's going to pop up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The legendary Marvel Studios franchise has been a staple of Hollywood for the past 17 years and it has no plans of slowing down anytime soon. It's a good thing because, throughout the course of the past two decades, it has produced some of the most awe-inspiring moments and featured some of the most star-studded casts in all of Hollywood. That's the mighty MCU for you.

From Samuel L. Jackson's game-changing cameo in the post-credits scene of 2008's Iron Man to the countless returns and appearances in 2019's Avengers: Endgame, the MCU has taken great pride in surprising us with a host of familiar faces over the years!

Now, the franchise has cast a veteran of the Star Wars universe in a major role in an upcoming MCU project.

Star Wars veteran Matthew Wood joins The Fantastic Four...

H.E.R.B.I.E. is one of the most unexpected additions to The Fantastic Four: First Steps. However, where better to introduce the fan-favourite character than in a retro-futuristic 1960s New York?

A new "Silence Your Cell Phones" PSA is currently playing in theaters, and it sees the loveable robot briefly warn audiences, "You know better." However, that's subtitled, and his speaking voice is a series of computer noises; is this indicative of what we'll see in the movie itself?

If so, this promises to be a very unique voiceover role for General Grievous actor Matthew Wood.

"He’s absolutely as important and as alive as any other member of the cast," The Fantastic Four: First Steps director Matt Shakman recently said of H.E.R.B.I.E. "He’s sometimes a slightly put-upon robot, but he is definitely a member of the family. He’s just so charming and adorable.

Now that "Thunderbolts*" is out and we're almost done gushing about how great this movie is, it's time to focus on the season 6 premiere of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: "The Fantastic Four: First Steps."

We're still a couple months out from the film's release, but "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" has given us plenty to be excited about. For starters, the movie is being directed by Matt Shakman, who previously helmed the wonderful and visually-stunning "WandaVision." Then there's the fact that the film is finally fixing a big Marvel mistake and bringing Galactus into the screen in all its full-body glory. On top of that, every single piece of casting for this movie is phenomenal, from the Fantastic Four themselves being played by Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach to Julia Garner portraying Silver Surfer and Ralph Ineson voicing Galactus.

Now, the biggest missing piece of the...

H.E.R.B.I.E., a robotic creation of Reed Richards, is presented as a central part of the story. Shakman emphasized the droid’s role as a companion to Richards, portrayed by Pedro Pascal. “He’s absolutely as important and as alive as any other member of the cast,” Shakman said. “He’s sometimes a slightly put-upon robot, but he is definitely a member of the family.”

One key character in The Fantastic Four: First Steps universe found its voice in sound editor and voice actor Matthew Wood.

Empire Magazine has shared a new promo still for Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps, giving us another look at H.E.R.B.I.E. the robot.

"He’s absolutely as important and as alive as any other member of the cast,” director Matt Shakman tells the site. “He’s sometimes a slightly put-upon robot, but he is definitely a member of the family.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is officially only a few months away, and the most anticipated MCU film of 2025 just got a major update. Empire Magazine unveiled a new image of H.E.R.B.I.E. in the film, and buried in the report was the news that the character will be voiced by Matthew Wood, famous for his work as General Grievous in the Star Wars prequel trilogy. The new image of H.E.R.B.I.E. can be found below. This confirmation debunks an extremely popular rumor that Natasha Lyonne would be the voice of H.E.R.B.I.E. in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. It remains unclear who Lyonne will play in the film, but she did recently make her animated MCU debut as Byrdie in What If…? Season 3.

The report also includes an interview with director Matt Shakman (WandaVision), who highlights H.E.R.B.I.E.’s importance to the team. He’s the perfect assistant...

You probably know the members of The Fantastic Four. There’s Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, the stretchy one. There’s Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, the invisible one. You have Joseph Quinn as her brother Johnny Storm, the fiery one. And Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm, the… well, the thingy one. But you might not know their ‘Fifth Beatle’, so to speak. Make way for H.E.R.B.I.E., the Reed Richards-created adorable android, a companion and collaborator to the main four who’s about to make a big impact in The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

“He’s absolutely as important and as alive as any other member of the cast,” director Matt Shakman enthuses to Empire about H.E.R.B.I.E. “He’s sometimes a slightly put-upon robot, but he is definitely a member of the family. He’s just so charming and adorable.

Two beloved Star Warscharacters return in the first trailer for Star Wars: Tails of the Underworld. Disney+ is getting ready to celebrate May 4th, commonly known as "Star Wars Day". The next installment of the anthology will be centered around Asajj Ventress (Nika Futterman) and Cad Bane (Corey Burton). The characters were introduced thanks to the world of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The upcoming short stories will allow audiences to be reunited with some of the most popular characters from Star Wars animated media, in two thrilling stories that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

The last time Asajj Ventress was seen on television was during the last season of The Bad Batch. The lovely group of rogue clone troopers crossed paths with Count Dooku's (Corey Burton) former apprentice during a dangerous mission. It was evident that Ventress was no longer the Sith apprentice audiences had encountered during the Clone Wars.

"Star Wars" is full of fascinating, enigmatic villains, most of them get barely any dialogue, let alone their background or backstory explained — in the movies at least. Whether it's Darth Vader being introduced as just a tall, menacing guy clad in dark, robotic armor, or Boba Fett's silent, striking suit of armor, these antagonists work because of how little we know of them, and how memorable their designs are.

This is especially true in the prequel trilogy, where we get characters like Darth Maul, who is just evil incarnate, a perfect design. Though perhaps not as well-liked, General Grievous' own character design is just as effective. He's a villain who's instantly memorable and striking, his cybernetic exterior and biological organs making him rather mysterious and alluring.

Grievous, like most things "Star Wars," went through many changes before making his debut, with George Lucas even briefly considering making the character Darth Maul in disguise.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is the latest in a long stream of "galaxy far, far away" media attempting to re-ignite the dwindling spark of Star Wars. The once highly popular series has received less interest from fans, in no small part due to poorly received TV and other failed media.

Some may say the Disney-led era of Lightsabers and laser battles has been hit and miss, though — for now— Skeleton Crew seems to be veering on the side of hit. With a strong cast of characters and a compelling plot, it's more than a match for the best of Star Wars. Its strong response has been aided by the great support of its young stars by its creators — as has been the case with Kb actress Kyriana Kratter.

Star Wars franchise star Jake Lloyd rose to fame as the child star at the heart of the 1999 film Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. As he grew older, Lloyd drifted away from acting and his subsequent struggles with his mental health have been well documented.

Lloyd has now commented on his struggles and his Star Wars experience for a new interview with Star Wars: Timelines co-author Clayton Sandell on Substack. He shared how a diagnosis of schizophrenia led to his exit from Hollywood after starring in hit films like the Star Wars prequel and Jingle All the Way. Lloyd's struggles would continue years into his adulthood, though he says he's now feeling "pretty good" after spending 18 months at an inpatient mental health facility. He now resides at a different rehab center where he continues to receive treatment, though it comes with substantially more freedom, as he's permitted...

Should Spaceballs 2: The Search For Money come to pass, contemporary Star Wars will be a huge part of its satirical backlog.

Per Entertainment Weekly, actor-writer Josh Gad appeared on an episode of Let's Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa, where he discussed collaborating with Mel Brooks on a follow-up to his 1987 sci-fi spoof and updating the process of lovingly lampooning Star Wars media from the modern era. "Mel is incredibly involved. I'll share a funny story that I haven't yet shared," he said, recalling, "When we were pitching him the original conceit for what we wanted to do with the film, at the beginning he goes, 'I'm just telling you now, I want you to really go into detail because I don't know a lot about the new Star Wars films.' And I said, 'okay.'"

Last fall, fans of Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones movie series were left frustrated when all four of the films directed by Steven Spielberg were inexplicably removed from Disney+. In the months since, only Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny was available to stream, but that frustrating problem has finally been rectified.

Per What's On Disney Plus, all four Spielberg-helmed films are now streaming again on the Disney+ platform. The reason for their temporary removal is that Paramount Pictures still holds the rights to those movies, and it would appear that the Disney+ streaming license has been renewed. This puts all five of the films starring Ford back together again on one platform, though it should be noted that the classic films are still not available yet on Disney+ internationally. It's also unclear how long this new streaming agreement will last, which may eventually lead to the movies...
