Marvel’s First Family — as embodied by the quartet of stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach — was in attendance at the world premiere for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, held at Los Angeles’ Dorothy Chandler Pavilion today.
Also walking the blue carpet were First Steps co-stars Sarah Niles, Julia Garner, Natasha Lyonne, Paul Walter Hauser and Ralph Ineson; Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings alum Simu Liu; Succession‘s Arian Moayed and The Persian Version‘s Niousha Noor; former Fantastic Four stars Doug Jones, Ioan Gruffudd and Rebecca Staab; the movie’s own robot H.E.R.B.I.E.; Deadpool & Wolverine actress Dafne Keen Fernández and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, among others. On the sides of the carpet were installations of the Fantasticar and fans dressed up as the iconic foursome. At the premiere, skywriting displayed the team’s signature “4” logo.
Due in theaters July 25 and helmed by three-time Emmy nominee Matt Shakman, First Steps marks the fourth attempt to translate the original comic book characters of Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm/Human Torch and Ben Grimm/The Thing to the silver screen. This time, the action will take place in an alternate history/parallel universe set in the ’60s, offering a retrofuturistic environment for audiences.
First reviews for the latest entry into the MCU praised the flick as “quite possibly the best Marvel Studios film ever released” with “immaculate” VFX and a “pitch-perfect script.”
Speaking to journalists Friday about the future of the recently maligned superhero studio, Marvel boss Kevin Feige spoke of the thought process to reboot the franchise following Disney’s 2019 acquisition of Fox, which previously held the film rights to the Fantastic Four, X-Men and Deadpool characters.
“Why Fantastic Four? Because it’s Marvel’s First Family. It’s in the history of our characters; they deserve to be A-listers. They were A-listers in the comics. Every crossover movie we’ve made in the Infinity saga, Civil War, leading to Infinity War and Endgame, which is really the Infinity saga from the comics, the Fantastic Four were huge players in those comics and obviously we couldn’t do that then,” he said, adding that the film is a “no-homework-required” movie kicking off Phase Six of the MCU.
