Fantastic Four producer teases the new Marvel movie's villain and says Galactus is "the most epic of the most epic that you can imagine"

Whatever your expectations are for The Fantastic Four: First Steps villain Galactus, raise them – according to producer Grant Curtis, at least. "The most epic of the most epic that you can imagine," Curtis said in a new interview with Collider when asked what we can expect from the world-devouring entity. "Because that's the global stakes we're dealing with, the universal stakes we're dealing with. That's Galactus. When Galactus's gaze comes across your planet, you're not in a good spot. I think that's as big of a scope and scale you could ever ask a villain to bring with him or her. And that is what Galactus brings... One of the beautiful things about working with Kevin Feige and with [director] Matt Shakman, they are totally in on sci-fi." The movie's big bad will be played by Ralph Ineson, who's best known for his role in the UK version of The Office but has also appeared in movies like The Green Knight, The Northman, and Nosferatu. Julia Garner will play Galactus' herald, Silver Surfer. The character previously appeared in 2007's Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, where he was depicted as a cloud-like form, but First Steps is taking Galactus back to his comic book origins. We recently got our first look at him, headpiece and all, in an unlikely way: a Snapple promotion. As for Marvel's First Family, Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach are bringing Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm to the MCU. The cast also includes John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne, and Paul Walter Hauser. The Fantastic Four: First Steps arrives in theaters on July 25 as part of Marvel Phase 6.

Fantastic Four leaks aren't stopping and they're getting even more bizarre – with Galactus being fully revealed in a Snapple promotion
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Drink it in: The first full look at Fantastic Four's Galactus is here – thanks to a Snapple promotion. While we've had brief glimpses of the Devourer of Worlds stomping his way through 1960s New York in the early Fantastic Four trailers, we haven't seen the entire figure of the Ralph Ineson-voiced villain. Until now, that is. As you can see below (H/T Galactus is sporting his comic-accurate headgear and – if you ask us, anyway – the face looks modelled slightly on Ralph Ineson, which is a neat touch. There's also more Snapple-related Fantastic Four promos abound. Artist Dylan Schepers is even showcasing most of the work on his website, as well as the flavors tied to each hero. If you're curious, Reed Richards is Snapple Apple, Sue Storm is Peach Tea, Johnny Storm is Peach Tea Zero Sugar, and Ben Grimm is Kiwi Strawberry. If you've been following along, you'll know that this isn't the only Fantastic Four leak in recent days. Thanks to a wave of upcoming Funko Pops, we now know that Sue Storm will seemingly give birth during the course of the Marvel Phase 6 entry, with son Franklin Richards playing some sort of role in the narrative. Fantastic Four, starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn, hits cinemas on July 25. For more, check out the upcoming Marvel movies headed into cinemas over the next few years. Then catch up on the story so far with the Marvel timeline and how to watch the Marvel movies in order.

Keurig Dr Pepper beats profit estimates on strong U.S. demand
(Corrects paragraph 1 to say Thursday, not Tuesday) (Reuters) -Keurig Dr Pepper reported first-quarter revenue and profit above Wall Street expectations on Thursday, helped by strong demand for its energy drinks and beverages among U.S. consumers. WHY IT IS IMPORTANT The Snapple maker saw resilient demand for its higher-priced ready-to-drink beverages, especially in the U.S. market, fueled by new flavor variants including Dr Pepper Blackberry and Snapple Peach Tea & Lemonade. Keurig has also benefited from the popularity of energy-drink maker Ghost's products, having bought a 60% stake in October. In contrast, bigger rival PepsiCo cut its annual profit forecast and warned of higher production costs and more volatility from President Donald Trump's trade tariffs, after narrowly missing quarterly profit estimates. MARKET REACTION Shares of Keurig Dr Pepper, which have risen about 10% so far this year, were up about 2% in premarket trading. CONTEXT U.S. consumers may face a surge in product prices following President Donald Trump's tariffs on trading partners. Tariffs have put the company's business in Canada and Mexico at risk, especially as Canadian consumers boycott certain U.S. products. Coffee prices could also rise further due to tariffs, hurting the company's margins and consumer demand. An ongoing destocking at retailers is expected to weigh on some packaged foods makers, but RBC analyst Nik Modi said Keurig's increased distribution of La Colombe coffee, Electrolit beverages and Ghost energy drinks may help offset those pressures. BY THE NUMBERS Keurig Dr Pepper posted an adjusted profit of 42 cents per share for the quarter, beating analysts' average estimate of 38 cents per share, according to data compiled by LSEG. Net sales rose 4.8% to $3.64 billion, compared with estimates of $3.57 billion. Its biggest segment, U.S. Refreshment Beverages, saw an increase of 11% in sales. The company reaffirmed its annual revenue and profit forecasts from February. Sign in to access your portfolio

Keurig Dr Pepper (NasdaqGS:KDP) Partners With MSG To Launch Snapple Mini Mart
Keurig Dr Pepper recently announced a multi-year partnership with Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. and Entertainment Corp., naming Snapple as the Official Tea Partner for significant events like those hosted by the New York Knicks and Rangers. This collaboration introduces the Snapple Mini Mart at the arena, showcasing heightened brand visibility. Despite an 11% price increase in the last quarter, notable market-wide declines set a contrasting backdrop, with significant drops in the Dow and Nasdaq. The partnership, alongside corporate leadership changes and completed equity offerings, provided some resilience amid broader market challenges. We've spotted 3 warning signs for Keurig Dr Pepper you should be aware of, and 1 of them is a bit concerning. Uncover the next big thing with financially sound penny stocks that balance risk and reward. The new partnership with Madison Square Garden, positioning Snapple as the Official Tea Partner, could elevate Keurig Dr Pepper's brand visibility and enhance its market position, potentially impacting revenue positively. This aligns with their strategy to expand into high-growth segments and reinforce distribution networks, which could lead to improved earnings over time when integrated with their existing Direct-Store-Delivery model. Over a five-year period, Keurig Dr Pepper shares delivered a total return of 45.14%, indicating strong longer-term performance. Comparing with recent one-year performance against the US market's 5.8% decline and the US beverage industry's 4.9% decline, KDP demonstrated resilience, outperforming both benchmarks. This reflects its capacity to withstand broader market pressures. Regarding earnings forecasts, the enhanced brand partnerships might bolster revenue streams, reinforcing analyst expectations of revenue reaching $17.4 billion by 2028 and earnings of US$2.8 billion. As reflected in the price target of US$38.21, the current share price, slightly below at US$33.57, indicates a potential upside, deliberating market confidence in its future growth. However, investors should consider the potential catalysts and risks, including competitive pressures and inflationary costs, that could sway financial outcomes. According our valuation report, there's an indication that Keurig Dr Pepper's share price might be on the expensive side. This article by Simply Wall St is general in nature.
