The latest trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps offers an exciting glimpse into a new Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) world and the pivotal role Julia Garner’s Silver Surfer plays within it. This two-and-a-half-minute clip sheds light on how Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), the Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), and Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) have transformed their universe into a utopian haven. In this vibrant world, Marvel’s First Family is revered as a (growing) team of heroes, admired by both children and adults for their valiant efforts. However, their peaceful existence is challenged when Garner’s Silver Surfer arrives from the sky, forewarning them of an imminent threat: Galactus.
Today's trailer is notably more action-packed compared to previous footage. We see Ben Grimm smashing through pillars, and a fresh take on Reed Richards’ stretchy abilities, showcasing innovative interpretations of the Fantastic Four’s iconic powers. Fans can anticipate seeing how these powers will synergize when The Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theaters this July.
Julia Garner’s portrayal of Silver Surfer truly steals the spotlight in this trailer. Despite her limited dialogue, her ominous warning that this alternate Earth is now “marked for death” underscores her character's formidable presence. She effortlessly fends off the Human Torch and navigates through explosions with apparent ease. While we're still kept in suspense regarding Galactus’ full appearance in the MCU, a brief shot of him towering over the city hints at the impending chaos he will bring.
