During the event, the movie’s director Matt Shakman explained that the project was set in New York in the the ’60s. However, there will be a decidedly futuristic spin to it, according to Discussing Film.
A brief teaser set the scene, revealing that Pedro‘s Reed Richards was a science teacher. The cast embarks upon a ride on a rocket right before the footage ends, and we are introduced to Galactus, who is the key villain and is played by Ralph Ineson.
“I love the Fantastic Four. I love their power set. We want to be true to the comics but we want to be true to life,” Matt explained about the movie, according to Variety.
We also got a first glimpse at the quartet’s Fantasticar, which flew around the stage!
If you missed it, we got the first pics of the cast together earlier this week. Find out who all is in the movie.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps is due to premiere in theaters on July 25, 2025!
