The Fantastic Four: First Steps takes place in a parallel universe (reportedly designated Earth-828), and that means we’re getting a bold new take on Marvel’s First Family.<\/p>\n
One of the biggest changes to how these characters are typically portrayed on screen is the addition of Franklin Richards,\u00a0the son of Reed Richards and Sue Storm. In the comics, he’s a powerful\u00a0reality warper and one\u00a0of the most powerful beings in the universe, even at a young age.<\/p>\n
Following Jonathan Hickman’s Secret Wars, Franklin used his God-like abilities to restore the Multiverse; he’s that strong. With that in mind, you can likely imagine how the youngest member of this team\u00a0will factor into Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Today, we have a first look at some upcoming statues for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, where Franklin is shown alongside his mother, the Invisible Woman.<\/p>\n
There’s been a Funko Pop version of Franklin floating around, but these statues are movie-accurate and indicate that he’ll at least be a toddler by the time this movie ends. Heading into Avengers: Doomsday, we’d bet on him being aged up even further.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Has Marvel Studios found a young actor to portray Franklin, or will he be a CG creation? We’re hoping it’s not the latter, though Hollywood has largely managed to perfect CG babies in movies and TV shows.\u00a0<\/p>\n
