Silver Surfer Illuminated in Fantastic Four Trailer Amidst Galactus' Shadow

Author : Thomas May 17,2025

The latest trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps offers an exciting glimpse into the new Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) world, showcasing the pivotal role of Julia Garner’s Silver Surfer within it. This two-and-a-half-minute clip delves deeper into how Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), the Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), and Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) have transformed their universe into a thriving utopia. In this world, Marvel's First Family is revered as a (growing) team of heroes, serving as role models for both children and adults. Their idyllic existence is challenged when Garner’s Silver Surfer descends from the sky, ominously warning of an impending threat: the arrival of Galactus.

The trailer released today is notably more action-packed compared to previous footage. We get to see Ben Grimm smashing through pillars and a clearer view of Reed Richards' stretchy powers. These are fresh interpretations of the classic abilities that the Fantastic Four have possessed for decades, and fans will get a closer look at their teamwork when the film hits theaters this July.

Julia Garner's portrayal of Silver Surfer steals the spotlight in this trailer. Despite her minimal dialogue, warning that this alternate Earth is now “marked for death,” her character exudes an intense power as she effortlessly fends off the Human Torch and navigates through explosions. While we're still left in suspense about Galactus' full appearance in the MCU, the trailer does provide a glimpse of him stomping through the city upon his arrival.
