April 4 Could Be A Big Day For Fantastic Four Fans

April 4 could turn out to be a major moment for Fantastic Four fans, as speculation continues to build around the highly anticipated MCU reboot First Steps starring Pedro Pascal. While details remain unconfirmed, the date has caught the attention of fans due to its historical significance for Marvel’s First Family and its alignment with recent promotional trends.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps, directed by Matt Shakman, is set to introduce the iconic superhero team into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel Studios officially announced the film in December 2020, but so far only a few casting announcements, a cryptic teaser, and some controversial AI promo photos have been officially released. Fans have been eagerly awaiting a more substantial look at the film, and many believe that the studio may finally be ready to unveil something big.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Future Foundation Tease Could Be Key To The Movie

With The Fantastic Four: First Steps introducing Marvel’s First Family to the MCU, the addition of the Future Foundation is more than just a tease.

According to a recent Reddit post from Fantastic Four enthusiast cosmicblue2209, April 4 is being circled as a potential date for the release of the movie’s first official trailer. The post highlights that the number four has been symbolically linked to the franchise, making 4/4 an ideal date for Marvel to drop a major reveal. The speculation is further fueled by the First Steps official teaser, which dropped on February 4th, and offered a glimpse of Pascal as Mister Fantastic as well as costars Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. “They also celebrated this year with that Human Torch artwork,” the user added, referencing the character poster featuring Joseph Quinn’s Human Torch released on April 4, 2024.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps Official Trailer Release

While Marvel Studios has yet to confirm this date for a trailer release, industry patterns suggest that this timing would align with past promotional rollouts. Major Marvel films typically release their official trailers four months before the premiere, and with the First Steps opening slated for July 2025, an April drop falls precisely in that window.

The first official trailer for Fantastic Four will provide fans with a deeper look at the film’s tone and plot details. The teaser already hinted at a cosmic, retro-futurism aesthetic, a stylistic departure from the previous Fantastic Four adaptations. While the teaser did not reveal much about the plot itself, Marvel President Kevin Feige has stated the film will avoid rehashing the team’s already well-known backstory. An official trailer on April 4 would be the perfect symbolic nod to the First Family’s legacy. Given the anticipation surrounding this film, the arrival of the full trailer could set the stage for The Fantastic Four: First Steps to become one of Marvel’s biggest releases in years.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps will release in theaters on July 25, 2025.
