In a retro reimagining, ‘Fantastic 4: First Steps' finds new life in the multiverse
Set against the backdrop of a 1950s-inspired Earth, the latest Fantastic Four film delivers emotional depth, visual flair, and a surprising narrative twist. By SHAH SHAMSHIRI 30 Jul 2025 05:46pm This Fantastic Four is also definitely better made compared to the most recent live-action version in 2015 that flopped despite having names like Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller. Photo: Marvel Studios Comic book characters have long reigned the silver screen ever since superheroes found their way into Hollywood. From fictional pages of children's comics, they have successfully broken into our television sets at homes and theatres worldwide, making us crave for more and more. What this writer finds strange, is the repetitive remakes of several comic book characters in movies. We have seen several versions of Spiderman, Batman, Superman and even the X-Men on screen. And now another famous super group from the Marvel universe, known as the Fantastic 4 is back with another movie from a totally different universe and timeline. However to my delight, the movie proved to be a winner. Judging from the set and props used in the film, Fantastic 4: First Steps is aptly named as it depicts the lives of these superheroes during the era of the 1950s or 1960s, making it relevant in portraying their first steps as the planet's protectors and saviours. Vanessa Kirby stars as Sue Storm. Photo: Marvel Studios For those who follow the Marvel universe, you will know that the there are several versions of planet Earth in different realms known as the multiverse and in this edition of Fantastic Four, they are on a different planet Earth but facing a very familiar problem found on the 'other Earths.' Like the second Fantastic Four movie which starred Jessica Alba and Chris Evans a few years ago, the four astronauts turned superheroes face the wrath of Galactus the planet eater and his herald, the Silver Surfer. Only in this universe, the Silver Surfer is a female and she has a liking for the Human Torch. This playbook change makes the movie more interesting as it gives this Human Torch (played by Joseph Quinn) a slightly different personality compared to the arrogant and vain Johnny Storm played by Chris Evans in the previous film franchise. As it is also not an introductory feature of how they received their superpowers, the film takes off from some new developments where the Fantastic Four have gained world recognition and are deemed as the planet's only hope when it comes to supervillains and threats. And this time, not only are Mr Fantastic and the Invisible Woman already married but they are expecting their first child, Franklin Richards! Franklin eventually sees the light of day in the movie, as he is delivered in a spaceship in outer space during mum and dad's mission trying to stop the evil Galactus from devouring planet Earth. Julia Garner plays Silver Surfer, the steely wanderer. Photo: Marvel Studios The plot thickens when Galactus offers to spare Earth if the Richards were to hand over their child (which Galactus believes has the power to take over his hunger for planets) in return for the planet's safety. Naturally refusing the sacrifice, the Fantastic Four then devise a plan to save the planet without having to forego the new superbaby. This interesting narrative gave the movie something extra to play with, making viewers constantly guessing the next moves of the team. It also gave a chance to introduce some other important side characters including Ben Grimm or The Thing's latest love interest, schoolteacher Rachel Rozman. This Fantastic Four is also definitely better made compared to the most recent live-action version in 2015 that flopped despite having names like Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller. Furthermore, the retro-setting in this one definitely gave the film an upper edge. Topped up with the ultra-modern special effects displayed during the movie's action scenes and a stellar cast led by Pedro Pascal as the team's leader, this Fantastic 4 movie is truly an audio-visual triumph. Not only did it deliver the elements of a 'good' superhero flick, it also emits the right amount of emotions and suspense, thanks to the brilliant screenplay and acting. Be sure to stay tuned for the hidden end-credits as they may explain what is coming after this. Fantastic 4: First Steps is currently showing in all cinemas nationwide. More Like This
