Marvel's "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" Poster Released

While there may be two MCU movies between now and the summer, all eyes are fixed on the story of Marvel’s First Family — the first characters created for Marvel Comics by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby — "Fantastic Four: The First Steps."

Ahead of the first trailer coming on Tuesday, the lead-up to that event has brought forth the poster for First Steps, which arrived on Monday and is very simple but meshes perfectly with the campaign that Marvel has started. 

The entire thing is leaning into the 1960s aesthetic, as well as the space launch itself that ends up creating the heroes known as the Fantastic Four. On the poster is a button with the team’s logo on it along will all four members of the group, seemingly advertising the launch event as they would have six decades ago.

The full synopsis reads: "Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” introduces Marvel’s First Family—Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ben Grimm/The Thing as they face their most daunting challenge yet. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus’ plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren’t bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal."

"The Fantastic Four: First Steps" will be the first live-action iteration of Marvel’s First Family since 2015, when Fox’s failed attempt at rebooting the property. 

The movie helmed by director Matt Shakman will introduce a new iteration of the heroes in the MCU presented by Pedro Pascal, Venessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.

The film also features Julia Garner as the Silver Surfer and Ralph Ineson as Galactus. Also starring in the film are Natasha Lyonne, Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, and Sarah Niles.

"The Fantastic Four: First Steps" is set for release in theaters on July 25.
