Christian Bale's entire family stuns in all-black for rare public appearance at D&G couture show
Bale, 51, cut a sharp figure in an all-black suit as he held hands with Blazic, his wife of 25 years. Their 11-year-old son, Rex Bale, also suited up for the occasion, trailing close behind the couple. The family later posed for photos alongside designer Domenico Dolce, making for a rare and elegant public portrait.
Luka, who made her modeling debut at the same event in 2021, returned to the Alta Moda runway with poise and confidence, clearly earning her place among celebrity fashion royalty. Though both children have appeared in Bale's 2022 Marvel film Thor: Love and Thunder, Luka and Rex have largely grown up out of the public eye.
In fact, fans only learned the correct name of Bale's son in 2024 after his rep clarified that
'Joseph', long assumed by the internet, was incorrect. Rex was properly credited in the Marvel film, as was Luka, who was previously listed in Bale's 2016 racing drama Ford v Ferrari.
Despite Bale's longtime aversion to fame, he's made it clear that family comes first. 'I'm not going to miss her growing up for anything, not even for Batman,' he once told British GQ about his daughter.
For one night in Rome, the Bale family embraced the flashbulbs, and let Luka shine.

Fantastic Four: First Steps draws early praise for visuals and cast performances
Early social media reactions to Fantastic Four: First Steps, Marvel Studios' upcoming reboot of the superhero team, surfaced this week following a limited preview screening. The responses have focused on the film's visuals, score, and emotional tone. Street saying #FantasticFour as one of the prettiest CBMs of all time and the most beautiful CBM of the year. — Marc (@MarAbh999) July 19, 2025 The film's visual effects, cosmic setting, and retro-futuristic design have been highlighted by multiple users, with references made to its portrayal of characters like Galactus and the Silver Surfer. I have seen #FantasticFour ! The main 4 were excellently cast and radiate chemistry, their interactions are just as exciting as any action scene Galactus and silver surfer are incredibly realized and bring serious stakes, something missing from recent mcu movies a treat!! — maddox 🦇 (@selinasboot) July 19, 2025 #FantasticFour First Steps is visually one of the best things Marvel has ever made. Parts feel like Interstellar & demand IMAX. Galactus is awesome. Silver Surfer looks really, really good. VFX were often immaculate. Cosmically and on Earth, Matt Shakman dropped a visual feast. — Brandon Davis (@BrandonDavisBD) July 19, 2025 Viewers also noted the film's emotional and character-driven storytelling, with themes of family and sacrifice being frequently mentioned. #FantasticFour is a story about family above all else, where each member of the team is equally important. No one is underserved; the movie excels when fleshing out the various bonds between Pedro, Vanessa, Ebon, & Joseph. The retro '60s aesthetic works on all fronts. — Andrew J. Salazar (@AndrewJ626) July 19, 2025 The tone of the film was described as more mature and introspective compared to recent Marvel titles. The performances of the main cast, Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, were consistently referenced. Users noted strong on-screen chemistry and praised their portrayals of the core characters. Other reactions referenced the film's music and direction, describing them as cohesive with the film's atmosphere. While plot specifics remain under wraps, some posts alluded to stylistic risks taken in the narrative structure and visuals. Fantastic Four: First Steps is scheduled for theatrical release on July 25, 2025.

Disney+ to livestream first-ever movie premiere with 'Fantastic Four' event
Marvel is pulling out all the stops for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, debuting the franchise's most ambitious reboot yet, and marking a major first for Disney+. For the first time ever, the studio is livestreaming a movie premiere on its streaming platform, giving subscribers front-row access to the blue carpet and exclusive footage ahead of the July 25 theatrical release. Set at the iconic Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, the premiere livestream begins July 21 at 7 p.m. PT and will feature real-time interviews with the star-studded cast: Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. Also appearing will be Ralph Ineson, Julia Garner, Natasha Lyonne, and key Marvel figures including Kevin Feige and director Matt Shakman. Composer Michael Giacchino will also make an appearance. But the premiere is more than just a spectacle, it offers a preview of Marvel's bold new direction. The film reimagines the Fantastic Four in a retro-futuristic 1960s New York, setting the tone for what the studio hopes is a wildly original chapter in the MCU. It's also deeply personal: the team's first villain is Galactus, and the cosmic threat takes aim directly at Reed and Sue's family, demanding their child in exchange for Earth's survival. While fans won't see the full movie on Disney+, they will get an early taste of what's to come, making the event essential viewing for die-hard Marvel followers. And with Disney experimenting with live events like this, it may signal a larger shift in how the studio engages its audience. The Fantastic Four: First Steps lands in theatres July 25.

Christian Bale's entire family stuns in all-black for rare public appearance at D&G couture show
Christian Bale traded the shadows for the spotlight, and it wasn't for a film premiere. The notoriously private actor made a rare public appearance in Rome on July 14, stepping out with his wife Sibi Blazic and their children to support daughter Luka Bale, 20, as she walked in Dolce & Gabbana's Alta Moda fashion show. Bale, 51, cut a sharp figure in an all-black suit as he held hands with Blazic, his wife of 25 years. Their 11-year-old son, Rex Bale, also suited up for the occasion, trailing close behind the couple.
