Possible spoilers follow The Fantastic Four: First steps.
The Fantastic Four: First steps is less than a month (at the time of publication) of landing in theaters.
With Marvel’s next film which will arrive on July 25, the Titan comic strip is accelerating not only its promotional campaign for said film, but it has also abandoned new exciting details on the next restart of the group and their future in the Marvel cinematic universe (MCU). Here are the three biggest revelations that hit the Internet yesterday (June 18).
1. Another villain unveiled via a … Pizza AD?
First step Will mainly of Marvel’s first family against the cosmic entity deviating the planet known as the Galactus. It will be expressed by the former UK Ralph Ineson office, for those who are not aware.
However, there are other bad guys who will appear throughout the film MCU. Julia Garner should play another antagonistic figure of the Silver Surfer, alias Galactus’ Herald. In the meantime, The Fantastic Four: First steps“The initial trailer has teased the mysterious individual that John Malkovich will play. The faithful of the MCU think that he plays a villain B Rouge ghost. Oh, and there are rumors that another actor of Paul Walter Hauser will represent another of the group’s regular comic strip enemies in Mole Man.
Do you think four bad guys are more than sufficient? Be careful again. Revealed by the most improbable sources – a new First step The link announcement for us, the Little Caesar’s Pizza fast food chain, no less – the monstrous creature known as Giganto will also appear in the next superhero film.
We already knew that Giganto would be part of the parallel universe that the fantastic four live before crossing the MCU (more on this subject shortly). Indeed, Giganto presents on the coverage a next First step Prequel committee which acts as an original story for the titular team and how they acquired their superpowers.
I would be surprised that this scene with Giganto is more than a footnote, let’s say, a longer sequence – in the first act of the film – which shows the fantastic four beating various enemies and greeted as heroes by the version of the land of their universe. Nevertheless, I am delighted to see the very first adversary characteristic of the team to a certain extent, even if the leisure of Giganto CGI seem a little offset.
2. The Fantastic Four: The end of the first steps will lead directly to Avengers: Doomsday
This revelation will not be a shock for many MCU fans. After all, First Steps is one of the two Marvel Phase 6 films that will land in the front rooms Avengers: Doomsday The fact in its release location in December 2026 revised. The other film, Spider-Man: A new dayshould currently arrive in July 2026, but its launch could be delayed again if the joint history of the Sony-Marvel Venture must follow the events of Avengers: Doomsday.
But I’m getting lost. Speaking during the presentation of Disney’s Cineeurope 2025, the president of Marvel, Kevin Feige, confirmed (out of date) that the next film Avengers will result directly from First step.
Thunderbolt“The post-key scene has already given us an idea that it would be the case. Nevertheless, I was happy to hear him directly from Feige himself. Does this mean that the doctor of Robert Downey Jr Doom will make a cameo that will appeal to the front crowd First step“The main story ends or in one of its end credits scenes? Hope to!
3. A series of The Fantastic Four: First Steps could be at the start of development
Announced in Cineeurope 2025, Disney also revealed that a fourth film Marvel had been added to its 2028 calendar. Currently, the film without title will be launched in the cinemas in the world on December 15. If this is the case, he will join three other MCU films which should arrive in February, May and November of the same year.
According to Variety, there are three possible candidates to fill this final place in 2028-and one of them would be a follow-up of the first Fantastic Four film, that is to say First stepthat Marvel Studios produced.
If a sequel is already underway, it suggests that Marvel is optimistic First step“The chances of being a huge worldwide success. Of course, a second Fantastic Four McU film will depend on its critical reception and, more importantly, the amount of money it earns. However, given the sustainable popularity of the group, its starry cast and the fact that it will set up events to come to the film Fifgers led by Downey Jr, I would be surprised if First step moves on itself and stumbles out of the door.
With his first two films of 2025 not making profit, Marvel could use a victory at the box office. Likewise, The Fantastic Four has a lot of unexploited cinematographic potential after the abject-to-tieses responses that the group’s other cinematographic adaptations, which are available to broadcast on Disney +, have received. I pray, then, that First step is a huge success and announces a new golden age for Marvel’s first family on the silver screen.
