New official glances to 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps'

Marvel's classic characters go back to the big screen with the reboot The Fantastic Four: First Steps of the director Matt Shakman (Wandavision) y Marvel Studios.

The fantastic four They have a great responsibility, both in their fictional world and in reality, because they will not only have the task of saving their world, but also to rescue the Marvel cinematographic universe that, after the conclusion of phase 3 – march with the launch of the launch of Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) – It crosses hard moments with projects that have failed to capture neither the magic of the MCU, nor the attention of the audience.

This year phase 5 has the premieres of Captain America: Brave New World (launched last February in cinemas with warm reception of criticism and audience), in May it will debut Thunderbolts*y At the end of July it will be the turn of the 37th delivery of the MCUthe restart of The fantastic four with renewed cast made up of Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us) como Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby (Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning) como Sue Storm aka the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things) like Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, and Ebon moss-barach (The Bear) como Ben Grimm aka The Thing.

The antagonistic roles interpret them Julia Garner (Ozark) like Shalla-Bal, a version of the classic character, Silver Surfer, and Ralph Ineson (The Witch, Nosferatu) as Galactus. The cast also includes John Malkovich y Paul Walter Hauser.

The fantastic fourcreated by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee in 1961, they are a family of astronauts that after being exposed to cosmic rays during a mission to outer space, they obtain superhero powers. Thing (Ben Grimm) is actually a former University football star, Reed roommate at the University and an expert pilot.

The reboot will set your plot in the 60sa time when the writer Stan Lee and the artist Jack Kirby presented for the first time the fantastic four, the super team that launched the Marvel universe in the comics.

The setting is something that already starts the new installment of the three previous films that have been made from The fantastic four. All the above developed in contemporary times.

But be careful, the new film will be in the 60s, but not in our 60s, because it will not be in the same land we met with the Avengers. First Steps begins in a parallel world of the Multiverse Marvel, Where history has developed differently. In our chronology, “The 50s and 60s were full of artists and thinkers who imagined utopian futures full of miraculous inventions such as flying cars and robot friends”explains the medium EW, “In this world, Reed Richards exists to invent them.”

At the end of the note we share the new promotional images of the project.

Shakman explains to the environment:

“We knew we would be in another land, so we had the opportunity to reinvent the appearance of the 60s. I was very interested in imagining the fantastic four as astronauts. Instead that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin went to the moon, what would happen if Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben were the first to go to the outer space, the first to transfer those limits?“

About the presence of galactus as the villain of First Stepsplayed by Ralph Ineson, the director says:

“I did not want to use only movement capture for Galactus. I wanted someone to play paper. So we built a full suit and perform many photographic tests to find out how to make sure the scale is correct. How to film Mount Rushmore?”

“[Doctor] Doom is a great character, but occupies a lot of space, “says the director.” Other film adaptations have made both a history of origin and Doom. We do not do either, and that allows us to see them from a new perspective. ”

The script was written by Josh Friedman (War of the Worlds, Avatar: The Way of Water), Jeff Kaplan (The Last of the Great Romantics), Ian Springer (The Last of the Great Romantics) y Eric Pearson (Black Widow, Thor: Ragnarok).

Michael GiacchinoOscar winner for the soundtrack of the animated tape Up (2009), is the composer of the soundtrack of First Steps.

The project marks a reboot for Marvel Studios by Kevin Feige, after 20th Century Fox was acquired by Disney in 2019. Previously, Fox had made three films about Fantastic Fourthe first and second launched in cinema in 2005 and 2007, respectively, were a box office success collecting more than $ 635 million at the global box office, while the 2015 reboot directed by Josh Singer, failed at the box office with $ 167.8 MDD in the World Office Box.
