THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS – Galactus Looms Large in New Promo Art and Character Descriptions — GeekTyrant
Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps is officially shifting into high gear, and thanks to a Snapple promo tie-in we have a new look at Galactus because nothing says Galactus is coming like a fruit drink. We've got new character descriptions for Marvel's First Family. While longtime fans will recognize the core powers, these new bios offer a little more insight. Sue Storm: 'Sue possesses the superhuman ability to turn invisible, allowing her to sneak up on her enemies completely unnoticed. Sue can create force fields with her mind to attack villains and defend her team. When Sue isn't fighting alongside the Fantastic Four, she's saving the planet in other ways. As a founder of the Future Foundation, Sue works with charities and world leaders to uplift humanity and spread equality.' Reed Richards: 'Reed is a scientific genius and uses his incredible knowledge to create new technology and study outer space. Beyond his intellect, Reed possesses the superhuman ability to bend, stretch, and extend his body parts across far distances, allowing him to easily outmanoeuvre his opponents. With the combined powers of his mind and body, Reed fights to defend earth with the Fantastic Four.' Johnny Storm: 'Johnny can burst into flames, fly thousands of feet into the sky, and absorb explosions into his body, all without breaking a sweat. As the most popular member of the Fantastic Four, Johnny spends his weekends chasing thrills. But when the Fantastic Four are in the heat of battle, they can always count on Johnny to keep cool.' Ben Grimm: 'Ben can punch through walls, lift cars, and defeat villains using his impressive super-strength. Due to his background as an incredible fighter pilot, Ben always takes the wheel when the Fantastic Four are navigating missions in the sky. But don't be fooled by his hard exterior: Ben's close friendship with Reed Richards and the other members of the Fantastic Four gives this grump a soft side.' Of course, the character work is just one part of the puzzle. The real shadow looming over The Fantastic Four is Galactus. We now have a clearer picture of what the world-eater will look like. In the film, he'll be joined by his Herald, the Silver Surfer, who'll be portrayed by Julia Garner. This version of Galactus is played by Ralph Ineson and he's described as 'a ravenous space god' with a very personal stake in the planet's destruction. Here's the official synopsis for the film: 'Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Marvel's First Family—Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ben Grimm/The Thing—as they face their most daunting challenge yet. 'Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus' plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren't bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal.' Directed by WandaVision 's Matt Shakman, the film boasts a high-profile cast led by Pedro Pascal (Reed), Vanessa Kirby (Sue), Joseph Quinn (Johnny), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben), with a supporting lineup that includes John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne, Paul Walter Hauser, and Sarah Niles in yet-to-be-revealed roles. The script was originally written by Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer, it was revised by Cameron Squires and Avatar: The Way of Water co-writer Josh Friedman, with Eric Pearson ( Thor: Ragnarok, Black Widow ) giving it the final pass. Marvel Studios is clearly positioning First Steps as more than just an origin story. This is the start of a new cornerstone in the MCU, with the Fantastic Four already teased in Thunderbolts* and expected to have major roles in Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars . The Fantastic Four: First Steps opens July 25, 2025.

The First Fantastic Four: First Steps Lego Set Heralds the Coming of Brick-Built Galactus
We're getting closer and closer to the release of Fantastic Four: First Steps, which means, of course, aside from an eventual movie we're about to get oodles of Fantastic Four merchandise. Lego is no stranger to the movie marketing mayhem, as usual, so it's only fitting that we've already got a First Steps set that's mostly a doozy. Mostly. This morning Lego revealed its first Marvel Superheroes set, Fantastic Four vs. Galactus. It's technically our first proper look at the big G's movie design, considering we've mostly seen tiny glimpses of parts of him in the trailers so far, but considering that he a) largely just looks like Galactus from the comics, and b), is made out of Lego, so what you can really discern of any changes the MCU has made to the devourer of worlds is difficult. The simple set, clocking in at 427 pieces, lets you build up a 28cm tall Galactus, and of course gives you each member of the Fantastic Four to do battle with him. Johnny Storm includes flame effects to put on his feet and hands (and a small support stand so he can fly around Galactus being an annoyance), Sue has little invisibility field effects, and then… well, Ben and Reed get the short end of the Lego stick. Lego Marvel Superheroes Fantastic Four: First Steps Fantastic Four vs. Galactus Ben's clobbering hands and rocky minifigure head are necessary sacrifices to make a Thing minifigure over the beefy mold Lego usually reserves for larger characters like the Hulk, but it does make him look a bit less burly next to his fellow FF teammates. But Reed's elongated leg pieces make him look a little less Mr. Fantastic, and a little more Stilt Man. Outside of making unique pieces though, there's probably not much else Lego could've done to make extending parts for Reed's powers but surely there could've been ways to build legs that weren't so rigid? Still, at least the minifigures sans-power-parts look pretty nifty. And Galactus himself looks great. But is he $70 great? You'll be able to find out when the set releases on June 1.

How To Light Up The Enemy Team With Human Torch In Marvel Rivals
Marvel Rivals welcomes one of the (literal) brightest heroes from the comics with the addition of the Human Torch. Just in time for his MCU introduction, the cocky resident of the Baxter Building joins the FTP, multiplayer shooter as a Duelist which is Rival's version of the DPS class. This guide will tell you everything you need to light up the enemy team. Johnny Storm's Primary Fire is 'Fire Cluster'. Unsurprisingly, this has him shoot out a burst of flame to damage enemies. To complement his main attack, he is also able to set Flame Fields on the battleground by using 'Blazing Blast,' which can then be linked together to form a wall of fire by using 'Pyro Prison.' To complement these abilities, Torch can use 'Plasma Body' to enhance his movement speed allowing to quickly gain a strong vantage point to smother his opponents in flames. While in the air, he can quickly return to the ground and deal some damage in the process by using 'Flaming Meteor' which has Torch slam into the ground, stunning any enemies near him. Finally, his ultimate is Supernova which not only unleashes shockwaves, but will also turn all Flame Fields into fiery tornadoes for further destruction. As a Duelist, your primary responsibility as Torch will be to deal damage. The most efficient way to do so is to ascend in the air above the battlefield, and use a combination of Fire Cluster and Blazing Blast to rain down fire on the other team, while the rest of your team attacks from the front. You can also set Flame Fields between the enemy team and then use Pyro Prison to try to separate their tanks from the healers, cutting off potential escape routes. Once you have a strong set of Flame Fields around the arena, and if the enemy team is grouped together, you can use Flaming Meteor and follow up with Supernova while they are stunned to maximize damage output. One thing to note is that while his mobility makes him a tougher target to hit, Torch is somewhat squishy, having a small HP pool. If things start to look dicey, use Plasma Body to quickly retreat to a safe distance, or use Flaming Meteor to launch yourself behind your team and use your tanks as cover while you get healed. Once you are all topped up, take to the skies once again to rain down fire on your foes! Given his mobility and low health, The Human Torch may take a bit to get used to. Make sure to always monitor your health, and know when to fall back. You also need to be aware that your Flame Fields are placed to capitalize on Supernova and Plasma Prisons. Johnny Storm may not be able to draw a giant '4' in the game, but you can still pick up plenty of Ws. For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

‘Fantastic Four' trailer teases Marvel's First Family dynamics and Galactus
Even superheroes make time for family dinners. Marvel Studios debuted on Tuesday its trailer for 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps,' offering the first proper look at the MCU's take on Marvel's First Family and the 1960s-inspired retrofuturistic world it inhabits. Directed by Matt Shakman, the films stars Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm. As referenced in the trailer, the closeknit foursome gained superpowers during its first mission into space. Richards, also known as Mister Fantastic, has the ability to stretch his body to the extreme, while his partner, Sue — a.k.a. the Invisible Woman — is imperceptible and can manipulate force fields. Sue's brother, Johnny, who can engulf himself in flames, is known as the Human Torch, and Richards' best friend, Grimm, has been transformed into the Thing — a being made of rocks. In 'First Steps,' the Fantastic Four will take on Galactus, a cosmic being that devours worlds, as well as the Silver Surfer (played by Ralph Ineson and Julia Garner, respectively). John Malkovich, meanwhile, plays a mystery character in the film. While 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' marks the official introduction of the superhero team into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, past takes on the characters were seen on the big screen in 'Fantastic Four' (2005), 'Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer' (2007) and the reboot 'Fantastic Four' (2015) when Fox owned the film rights. Last year's 'Deadpool & Wolverine' saw 'Captain America's' Chris Evans reprise his role as Johnny Storm from the first two 'Fantastic Four' movies, while a variant of Mister Fantastic, played by John Krasinski, appeared in 2022's 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.' The film will also serve to launch Phase 6 of the MCU, which has been revamped to involve well-known Fantastic Four villain Doctor Doom (who will be played by 'Iron Man's' Robert Downey Jr.). 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' hits theaters July 25.
