The Fantastic Four: First Steps

The Fantastic Fourwill finally join theMCUin 2026 , and I ’m convinced the celluloid can decamp one of the most embarrassing moment from the 2015 reboot . Marvel comic book readers have look a prospicient time for The Fantastic Four to get a perfect plastic film adaptation . While the Tim Story celluloid have memorable consequence , critics and audiences did n’t respond kindly to them , and the same can be enounce for 2015’sFantastic Four , star Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan . 2015’sFantastic Fourwas a calamitous flop that wipe out any fortune of a successful franchise revival .

The first three Fantastic Four films have several embarrassing import , includingturning Galactus into a giant cloudand Reed Richards displaying his elastic dancing moves in the club . However , the story ofThe Fantastic Four : First Stepscould eventually get this franchise right , as it has the natural endowment and filmmaking squad it needs . After watchingthe first trailer forThe Fantastic Four : First Steps , I ’m optimistic that this film will be great , and can also nullify a laughable second from the 2015 reboot that is ceaselessly mocked .

The Fantastic Four: First Steps Is Already Set Up To Avoid The 2015 Reboot’s “Say That Again” Scene

2015’sFantastic Fouris another origin fib , chronicle how this squad came together and how they pull ahead their powers . Despite their close kinship , the team does n’t amply fight together until the climactic battle against Doctor Doom inFantastic Four ’s end . After winning their fight , the group brainstorms a name for themselves . command their new inquiry center , Ben Grimm separate Reed " It ’s fantastic " and Reed responds with , " Say that again . " Reed say the other team members to prepare for his brilliant name idea before the screenland cut to Joseph Black and the form of address batting order appears .

It can be hard for superhero movies to reveal a hero ’s or villain ’s name without voice corny . However , this is a specially bad model of this trope . Ben saying " fantastic " , and then take Reed repeat it for emphasis is an annoyingly obvious path of develop the name . What ’s spoilt is that Reed does n’t even say it - the picture show just suggest at it , urgently trying to make excitement for a possible sequel . Fortunately , the MCU ’s Fantastic Four can avoid this scene , since the squad is already established .

The Fantastic Four : First Stepsis arrange in analternate universe of discourse to the main MCU . It ’s unclear if this celluloid takes position in this universe ’s version of the sixties or if the universe is sting in a permanent sixties aesthetic . Either way , The Fantastic Four are already celebrities in this world , celebrated for their space travelling , heroism , and scientific breakthroughs . Since this team is already well - have it off , this picture will belike skip over the present moment when the team gets its name .

That said , the flick could feature flashback to significant moments in their backstories , asThe Fantastic Four : First Steps ' trailer appeared to show a brief aspect at the grapheme gaining their powers . Still , plenty of details suggest The Fantastic Four have be in this cosmos for a while . Kids are wearing masks of The Thing , Reed and Sue Storm are doing interviews describing their routine , and the team has a massive tower in the city . Fortunately , most MCU viewing audience already sleep with the origin story of Marvel ’s First Family , so it can hop some awkward minute that other films could n’t avoid .
