Galactus Leaked in Strange Promo Art Hints at Marvel’s Biggest Villain Yet

In one of the upcoming Marvel films, The Devourer of Worlds, Galactus, is set to make his appearance, and fans are eagerly waiting for this moment. The first official character design for Galactus from the much-anticipated movie “Fantastic Four: First Steps,” due in 2025, seems to have been leaked online before its official release. This leak didn’t come through the standard channels like a Marvel Studios press statement or convention trailer; instead, it surfaced as part of a promotional campaign.

The initial buzz about the leak picked up momentum when user @suesattorney shared fresh promotional artwork depicting Marvel’s groundbreaking foursome of superheroes standing tall in front of the Baxter Building, with an imposing, foreboding Galactus towering over them in the sky. The caption read, “New promo art for Fantastic Four: First Steps featuring Galactus for Snapple.” Additionally, this post contained a second picture showing Galactus completely armored and enveloped by a whirlpool of purplish-black cosmic energy. You can see the post below.

There’s plenty to take in around here. The imposing figure of Galactus sports a detailed, armor-like appearance that some enthusiasts claim has Death Star-esque qualities, with deep grooves and metallic plating that exude both antiquity and cosmic vibes. His distinctive helmet, characterized by its wide, forked design, still stands. Many have noticed the villain’s face bears a striking resemblance to actor Ralph Ineson, who will portray the world consumer. Although no official confirmation has been made, the likeness is compelling.

Ever since they announced “First Steps,” I, as a movie enthusiast, have been buzzing with speculation about when Galactus would make his grand entrance into the MCU. And lo and behold, it was disclosed that this monstrous villain, alongside his herald Silver Surfer, were cast for the lead roles in the reboot. The first Fantastic Four trailer only served to crank up the excitement even more. It’s said that the solo outing of the First Family in Disney’s colossal superhero franchise will have far-reaching implications for the cinematic universe as a whole. To add fuel to the fire, we know that the team is set to appear in the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday.

In the upcoming release, it’s said that Galactus is making his way to an alternate Earth as hinted in previews, a world ripe for consumption. If the Marvel Cinematic Universe version adheres to its comic book origins, his arrival will bring significant turmoil for the Fantastic Four and the multiverse.

For the movie “First Steps”, this Snapple connection isn’t the only unusual revelation. Only last week, eagle-eyed fans discovered an initial batch of Funko Pop! figurines that offered further insights into the film’s narrative. Among these was the introduction of Franklin Richards, the offspring of Reed and Sue, hinting at a tale possibly spanning various years or even timelines. This could mean the story progresses from Sue’s pregnancy (as shown in the trailer) to their child’s toddler age.

Additionally, it’s important to mention that a leaked LEGO set in April could possibly have shown an early sneak peek of Galactus, however, the detail found in this recent Snapple-supported artwork surpasses what was available in the leak.

This coming July, the release of “Fantastic Four: First Steps” in cinemas means Marvel enthusiasts won’t have to endure a long wait to witness the story unfold in the upcoming superhero film. If Galactus is portrayed as imposing on-screen as described, then Marvel could potentially find a villain for their Multiverse Saga that matches Thanos in terms of grandeur and impact.
