Opening with a dinner scene at the Baxter Building, the trailer highlights the film's stylish 1960s retro-futuristic aesthetic and hints at an epic New York showdown.

Scheduled for release on July 25, 2025, The Fantastic Four: First Steps boasts a stellar cast including Ralph Ineson as Galactus, Julia Garner as Silver Surfer, Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne, and Sarah Niles. Matt Shakman directs, with Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige producing.
