The first footage from The Fantastic Four: First Steps has been released. After many months of anticipation, fans are getting their first look at one of the biggest blockbusters of the summer. The short footage from the movie depicts children excitedly attempting to get a look at the team's take off through television sets from a store. The first full trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps will be released tomorrow. In the meantime, audiences will have to wait while enjoying this short teaser that also includes a preview of the film's soundtrack. The stage has been set for some of the most recognizable characters from Marvel's catalog to make their official return to the big screen.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps will introduce the iconic team into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness presented a version of Reed Richards portrayed by John Krasinski, the upcoming movie directed by Matt Shakman will present Marvel's first family in its entirety. Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach are the actors who Marvel Studios has selected to bring the team to life.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps was directed by Matt Shakman. The filmmaker impressed Marvel Studios with his work on WandaVision, which is why the company has allowed him to develop this new iteration of the powerful team. The screenplay for the upcoming movie was written by Peter Cameron, Josh Friedman and Jeff Kaplan. Before Cameron signed on to work on the development of The Fantastic Four: The First Steps, the writer was part of the team who brought WandaVision and Agatha All Along to life. With Matt Shakman at the helm, audiences are in for an emotional journey alongside the Fantastic Four.

The MCU Rolls Along

Before audiences can enjoy The Fantastic Four: First Steps on the big screen, other stories will continue the road to Avengers: Doomsday. This month's Captain America: Brave New World will see Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) fighting against the Red Hulk (Harrison Ford), who will also happen to be the President of the United States. After that, the Thunderbolts* will be assembled in the MCU. The rogue team will feature Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), the Red Guardian (David Harbour) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan). These narratives will set the stage for the return of Earth's mightiest heroes to cinemas.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps premieres in theaters on July 25, 2025. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
