8 Jul
Summary
- Fantastic Four film faced pressure after prior Marvel releases.
- The film stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
- Article uncovers worst actions by each Fantastic Four member.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has embarked on a new chapter with "The Fantastic Four: First Steps," a film that carried the weight of recent box office disappointments. Directed by Matt Shakman, this 2025 release aimed to revitalize the studio's standing, especially after the underwhelming performance of "Captain America: Brave New World" and "Thunderbolts."
The success of "First Steps" largely depended on its charismatic lead cast: Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing, Joseph Quinn as the Human Torch, Vanessa Kirby as the Invisible Woman, and Pedro Pascal as Mister Fantastic. Marvel's strategy focused on highlighting the team's inherent love, heroism, and genius, as depicted in the comics.
However, beyond their heroic endeavors, the film also delves into less savory aspects of the characters' histories. The article uncovers instances where the Fantastic Four members acted in ways contrary to their heroic personas, such as engaging in romantic entanglements with each other's partners, inflicting cruelty on villains, and harboring villainous alter-egos.
