Two weeks ahead of the film’s release, Marvel Studios has released a new retro-style trailer for “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” along with similarly old school artwork via a custom poster designed by artist Matt Ferguson up on X.
The trailer comes as the cast & crew are on a world press tour showing off around half an hour of footage and doing Q&As, starting with London the other day and hitting several cities including Sydney next week.
During the discussion, the film’s director Matt Shakman confirms that within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the movie takes place on Earth-828 as opposed to the main MCU which takes place in Earth-616.
Several other Earths have appeared on screen before, most notably Earth-838 in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” which is where the Illuminati were.
Meanwhile the footage screened, which is mostly from the film’s first act, confirms several Fantastic Four villains appear in cameos in the film including Puppet Master, Mad Thinker, Diablo, Wizard along with one of Red Ghost’s Super Apes.
The footage has mostly been screening for fans but the general reaction so far has been very good. Whether the full film will yield similar results… we’ll have to wait and see.
