Summary
- New cast of actors take on iconic Fantastic Four roles
- Movie set in 1960s as team battles villain Galactus
- Themes of family and pregnancy alongside intense action sequences
The Fantastic Four: First Steps has arrived in theaters, bringing a fresh take on the iconic superhero team. The movie features a new cast of actors taking on the lead roles, including Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/the Invisible Woman, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/the Thing, and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch.
Set in the 1960s, the Fantastic Four must defend the Earth from the powerful villain Galactus, who is said to have devoured five planets in the past. While the high-stakes battle is the main focus, the film also explores themes of family, with Sue and Reed preparing to welcome their first child.
However, the intense action sequences and peril faced by the heroes may not be suitable for all younger viewers. The film includes mentions of past destruction, characters risking their lives, and some profanity, earning it a PG-13 rating. Parents will need to weigh these factors before taking their children to see The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
