Marvel Studios released an epic new trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps yesterday, and all signs point to the movie doing right by Marvel’s First Family.<\/p>\n
We’ve already broken down the biggest surprises and reveals<\/strong><\/a>, but a closer look at the reboot’s Times Square showcases a couple of fun Easter Eggs that tip their hat to the MCU and beyond.<\/p>\n The first pays homage to WandaVision with a store named “Westview Appliances & Television.” The Fantastic Four: First Steps director Matt Shakman helmed the Disney+ series, and both have the 1960s setting in common. Beyond that, we wouldn’t anticipate them being connected in any way.<\/p>\n The next reference appears to pay homage to Mister Fantastic actor Pedro Pascal’s role in The Last of Us as a theater is showing a movie called “Attack Of The Fungu” (you can read our review of season 2 by clicking here<\/strong><\/a>).\u00a0<\/p>\n The Fantastic Four are the only superheroes in this reality, though we’re sure there will be plenty of nods to this team’s comic book adventures.<\/p>\n Paul Walter Hauser recently teased what fans can expect from the movie when he said,\u00a0“I don\u2019t think I\u2019m speaking out of school. And I think, from what I\u2019ve seen, and obviously I can\u2019t say much about it, but I will say the short time I was on set, dude, they\u2019re making a cool movie, man. This is a smart, chic Marvel movie that really focuses on family as part of the theme. And you really kind of fall in love with those characters, I think.”<\/strong><\/p>\n “And that\u2019s what\u2019s missing is sometimes if you don\u2019t fall in love with these characters, and you keep putting them in peril, we don\u2019t really care,”<\/strong>\u00a0he said of what’s hurt recent MCU titles.\u00a0“You know, you got to make us care first. And I think Marvel\u2019s hopefully getting back to some of that.<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out these newly discovered Easter Eggs for The Fantastic Four: First Steps below, and stay tuned for more on the movie as we have it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
