First Steps Cast Costumes Shown In New Promo Art

The Fantastic Four: First Steps cast costumes were displayed in new promotional art that may give fans their best look at the MCU version of Marvel’s First Family.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps has been anticipated since Marvel Studios regained the film rights to the characters when Disney acquired 20th Century Fox in 2019. Past Fantastic Four movies had fallen short of expectations, so fans were eager to see how Marvel Studios would adapt the team for the silver screen. Now that Fantastic Four: First Steps filming has wrapped, fans only need to wait roughly 7 months to see Marvel’s First Family on the big screen again. Fortunately, fans who find it difficult to wait that long may be satisfied with the new promotional art of the team assembled in full costume.

Young Avengers MCU Movie May Have Found an Acclaimed Director

A Young Avengers movie is rumored to be on the MCU’s slate, and the showrunner of an acclaimed X-Men show may be eyed to direct the film.

At Disney Celebra Argentina, the new Fantastic Four: First Steps promotional art (via Joaco Teodoro) showed leading cast members Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Ben Grimm/The Thing, and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch. Fans already saw these characters when the MCU’s Fantastic Four cast photo was unveiled in February. However, this new artwork is arguably a more realistic rendition of the actors as their respective characters and gives fans a better sense of how they’ll look in costume as The Fantastic Four.

Fan reactions to the new Fantastic Four promotional art have been overwhelmingly positive. On Reddit, users praised the cast and comic-accurate costumes. If there was one issue fans have, it was with Pascal’s mustache. While it didn’t seem like a dealbreaker for anyone, some fans wished Pascal had shaved his mustache or grown a full beard as Reed Richards sports in some Marvel comics. User @Eryk0201 defended Pascal, suggesting that perhaps Marvel Studios wants him to keep the mustache so audiences recognize him “at first sight.” Considering Pascal is a fan-favorite face in projects such as The Last of Us, Game of Thrones, and The Mandalorian, @Eryk0201’s comments are not unreasonable.

So far, fans seem to feel The Fantastic Four: First Steps is doing everything right. Many people have always wanted a Fantastic Four movie set in the ’60s, and First Steps takes place in a futuristic 1960s in an alternate universe. Between the setting, a talented cast, comic-accurate costumes, and some classic Fantastic Four villains, fans may finally get a movie that truly captures what made Marvel’s First Family enduringly popular for decades.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is scheduled to be released in theaters on July 25, 2025.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is the first MCU movie to feature Marvel’s First Family in the same live-action universe as the Avengers. It introduces the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s version of Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Ben Grimm, and Johnny Storm, and precedes Phase 6’s Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars.
