Summary
- Fantastic Four films have had a rocky start, with a 1990s unreleased film and a 2015 reboot that failed.

- The film will feature the cosmic villain Galactus and the Silver Surfer.
The Fantastic Four, one of Marvel's most popular superhero teams, have had a rocky start on the big screen. After a 1990s unreleased film, the team was brought to life in 2005's "Fantastic Four" and its 2007 sequel, "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer." However, a 2015 reboot, "Fant4stic," ultimately failed to capture the audience's attention.
Now, the Fantastic Four are set to make their debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) with "The Fantastic Four: First Steps," directed by Matt Shakman. The film will take place in an alternate retro-futuristic 1960s landscape, introducing the superhero team of Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, and Ben Grimm/The Thing.
In this new adventure, the Fantastic Four will face off against the cosmic being Galactus and his herald, the Silver Surfer, in a story adapted from the iconic Galactus trilogy from Marvel Comics. The film promises to bring a fresh take on the First Family of Marvel, as they navigate the challenges of their powers and the cosmic threats they must confront.
