A New Look at ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps' Is All About Family

As ticket sales begin today, Marvel has dropped another new look at Fantastic Four: First Steps in action–and although there's plenty glimpses of the First Family in action as they brace for the coming of Galactus, this new footage does properly welcome up to the next member of the team. While Reed and Sue's incoming addition to the Richards' has been teased in prior trailers, this new footage gives us our first actual look at little baby Franklin–who comic book fans know will grow up into one of the most powerful young heroes in the Marvel multiverse. Once a mutant (ah, comic books), Franklin Richards develops psionic powers at a young age, and is eventually one of the most potent reality manipulators along the already rare breed of those to use that powerset in Marvel's comics. Eventually, alongside his younger sister Valeria, Franklin becomes a member of the FF team in his own rights–but at least as far as First Steps goes, we're probably not going to see him tussling with the Silver Surfer and Galactus just yet, considering he's still in diapers. The rest of the footage teased is, of course, about that impending tussle with the devourer of worlds (although Marvel is keen on not quite showing us the scope of the MCU's take on Galactus just yet, content to leave him in glimpses and shadows), but we do get some fun glimpses, including a bit more of the Fantasticar in flight, and, intriguingly, the Marvel-1, the Fantastic Four's rocket ship, hurtling towards a planet facing horrendous damage to its surface. Whether that's another world that's fallen to Galactus' hunger already, or if it's even earth (or a glimpse of its potential fate should Galactus win) remains to be seen, but we do know that at some point in the climax of First Steps we're going to have to get some set up for Thunderbolts' post-credits scene, which saw Marvel-1 show up in orbit of Earth-616. Maybe we're setting up the Fantastic Four for a fight that not even they can win… or maybe they do, only for an incursion to sunder their reality anyway. We'll find out next month, when Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theaters on July 25.
