The latest trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps offers a captivating glimpse into a new Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) world, highlighting the pivotal role of Julia Garner's Silver Surfer. This two-and-a-half-minute clip dives deeper into how Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), the Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), and Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) have crafted their universe into a thriving utopia. In this setting, Marvel's First Family is not only revered as a (growing) group of heroes who valiantly save the day but also serve as inspirational figures for people of all ages. Yet, their prowess will soon be challenged when Garner's Silver Surfer emerges from the sky, heralding the ominous arrival of Galactus.
Today's trailer is significantly more action-packed compared to previous footage. We witness Ben Grimm smashing through pillars and get a thrilling look at Reed Richards' stretchy abilities. These are fresh interpretations of the classic powers the Fantastic Four have wielded for decades, and fans will soon see how these abilities mesh together when the movie hits theaters this July.
However, it's Julia Garner's portrayal of Silver Surfer that truly steals the spotlight. Despite only delivering a few lines about this alternate Earth being "marked for death," her version of the Surfer exudes immense power as she effortlessly deflects the Human Torch and navigates through explosions. While the trailer keeps Galactus' full MCU appearance under wraps, we do catch a glimpse of him ominously stomping through a city upon his arrival.
