Get Ready for the Fantastic Four: First Steps with Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby!

by

The NBA Western Conference Finals are currently underway, and to build excitement for the upcoming games, the NBA has collaborated with Marvel Studios to release a fresh teaser for the upcoming movie “The Fantastic Four: First Footsteps“. Although this new trailer doesn’t tie directly into the storyline of the forthcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film, it showcases the main characters in an entertaining scene to publicize the basketball games. With the movie less than two months away, marketing efforts are picking up speed, highlighting the promising new team that is poised for success within the MCU.

The short clip, found further down, features vintage-style commentary accompanying the video content. It portrays the Fantastic Four preparing for a game inside the Baxter Building. Thanks to the opening scene of the teaser, spectators have their most clear view yet of the Baxter Building, featuring an intriguing curved structure and displaying the rocket launchpad attached to it. The clip then switches its attention to Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn), Susan Storm (Vanessa Kirby), and Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), who are seen in an elevator on their way to what seems like the uppermost level.

The main attraction in the trailer is Johnny’s eagerness to reach the pinnacle, while Reed keeps inserting facts about the predicted champion of the upcoming NBA playoffs. Kirby’s depiction of Sue as a rational voice adds to the intrigue. In just 30 seconds, it serves as an engaging promotional tool aimed at boosting anticipation for the next major Marvel Studios film.

‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Has a Lot Riding On It

A sneak peek at the new Fantastic Four team, separate from the main storyline, offers an enjoyable glimpse into the interactions we might see in the upcoming July movie. For instance, Joseph Quinn portrays a restless Johnny Storm, while Pascal delivers Mister Fantastic with a humorous understated style that hints at his obsession with turning everything into data and numbers. The casting for Matt Shakman’s film seems spot on thus far, even though we don’t yet see Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing; however, we do hear his voice (presumably due to the visual effects constraints in promotional materials).

Marvel Studios has been displaying some remarkable promotional strategies for their latest films, particularly for Jake Schrier’s Thunderbolts. Innovative trailers that spotlighted the crew behind the scenes and the title adjustment following the first weekend are merely a few instances of the studio’s recent efforts to keep its productions as popular and successful as they were in the past.

10 years have passed since the last cinematic outing of the Fantastic Four, putting a lot of pressure on Marvel’s Cinematic Universe’s new adaptation of the First Family to deliver. Despite facing tough competition at the summer box office, the anticipation for the upcoming Avengers films in the MCU and their link to “First Steps” could entice audiences to theaters. With over three years until its theater release on July 25, 2025, there’s still ample time for exciting promotional materials like this one to be shared.
