The Fantastic Four: First Steps Looks So Damn Good!
Randomly, for all I know, we got a new, full-sized trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps today, and holy cow, it looks so damn good! The characters, the effects, the personal stakes, the drama, the scale and scope; this is one gorgeous trailer, people!
So good! They go into so much, without giving away too much, in my opinion. Or maybe I’m still just too hyped about this trailer. Loved the look at the team, loved the look of the Silver Surfer. I have no problem with Marvel switching from Norrin Radd to Shalla-Bal. Seems a perfectly ordinary and uninteresting change to me. And then we get just enough Galactus tease to make me happy. I love the look, I love the feel, I love the retro-futurism, I love that new theme song; hot damn this looks to be an exciting movie!
The Fantastic Four: First Steps is coming to theaters on July 25.

First Trailer for Fantastic Four: First Steps!
The first trailer is hear and it looks pretty neat! Fantastic Four: First Steps is Marvel’s first family now in the hands of Marvel Studios, as part of the MCU. I have high hopes for this one, as it seems like the most out-there Marvel release of the year. The trailer looks very standard, in my opinion, but could still be fun.
Looks pretty good. Thing doesn’t look perfect. The action and superhero stuff looks pretty standard. But I still like the vibe of the 1960s. And that one look at Galactus was neat. The whole movie should be a good time and nothing is going to dampen my expectations and excitement!

I am Totally Down with the Vibe of The Fantastic Four!
Out of nowhere, Marvel Studios used Valentine’s Day to unveil not only the cast of the upcoming Fantastic Four movie, but also the whole vibe. It’s a retro, ’60s throwback feeling. I wasn’t on board with that idea in general, but after seeing the artwork and logo, I am fully in favor of everything this movie is now giving off.
I love the cast as well. The only person we had fully confirmed at this point was Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, and I’m fine with that man in any acting role he wants or gets. I’m sure he’ll be great! The others are Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm! I knew of all three being at the top of the rumors list, so they’re not a surprise. I love every one of those choices!
I just finished watching season 2 of The Bear last week, and Moss-Bachrach was amazing! If I had watched that season when it came out last year, it would have made my end-of-year list as favorite show of 2023. And then everybody loved Quinn in Stranger Things, so they’re both pretty inspired casting. I’m not as familiar with Kirby’s work, but I’ve obviously seen her in some things like Mission Impossible. So high hopes all around for this cast!
The movie is set to come to theaters on July 25, 2025, so next year. Good times. No idea on the plot yet or the villains. I’d be cool with anybody. I love everything about this first look, down to even the retro jumpsuit look of the costumes Reed and Sue are wearing.

Here’s that Sweet Mario Kart Parody Trailer from SNL
I don’t have much to share this Monday, with no new movie trailers or anything of that nature to talk about. So how about we just watch that sweet, gritty Mario Kart parody trailer from Saturday Night Live this past weekend. Does anybody still watch that show live on Saturday nights?
This is fun stuff. Great work by the graphics department at SNL, for sure. And Pedro Pascal kills it as gritty Mario. I’m loving The Last of Us on HBO, like everybody else. And this was a great parody for pull off for Pascal’s guest appearance on SNL. Obviously, this isn’t the first gritty, post-apocalyptic Mario re-imagining on the internet, but it’s fun when some actual work goes into it from a major media outlet.
