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!
Fantastic Four: First Steps comes to theaters on July 25!

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.

6 Thoughts on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (Review)
Who could have imagined that Doctor Strange would eventually be the elder statesman of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? His first film was really good, but hardly star-making material. But then he’s been a major player in Avengers: Infinity War and Spider-Man: No Way Home. So here comes his official sequel, ready to make big bank as another Marvel hit!
Movie Rating: 9/10 – Great.
I really enjoyed this film, especially by the end. I’ll admit to being a bit hazy in the first half. But the madness and the creativity of the second half really won me over and I had a great time overall. Granted, I’m a sucker for all these Marvel projects. I fully admit that and have no shame in it. It’ll be a cold day in the world when I dislike a Marvel movie or TV show. Thankfully, that day has not yet arrived!
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the movie! And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below!
