Initial reactions for The Fantastic Four: First Steps are in and singing high praises for Marvel\u2019s newest film.<\/p>\n

The movie stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby<\/a>, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn as the heroic quartet<\/a>, with British actor Ralph Ineson<\/a> as the villain Galactus and Julia Garner as the Silver Surfer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The original Fantastic Four comic books follow a group of scientists who develop superhuman abilities after being exposed to a mysterious cosmic storm. The new Marvel film follows Mister Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch, and the Thing as they defend Earth from Galactus and the Silver Surfer.<\/p>\n

The Fantastic Four cast will appear in the film alongside a variety of characters from the Thunderbolts, Black Panther, and X-Men films. Disney\u2019s Marvel Studios acquired the rights to the Fantastic Four in 2019 when the company merged with Fox.<\/p>\n

While the film doesn\u2019t officially debut in theaters until July 25, some have seen an advanced screening and shared their thoughts.<\/p>\n

\"\u2018The\u2018The Fantastic Four: First Steps\u2019 debuts in theaters July 25 (Marvel Studios)<\/p>\n

One person wrote on X: \u201c#FantasticFour Is a masterpiece. the visual effects and the score are a HUGE stand out. Galactus Is huge In IMAX. It\u2019s emotional and gives you hope. It beats you off and doesn\u2019t stop. STAY Until the END CREDITS.\u201d<\/p>\n

That reaction prompted someone to respond: \u201cThat\u2019s all I needed to hear buying a ticket now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Someone else who saw the film wrote: \u201c#FantasticFour Quite possibly the best Marvel Studios film ever released. Absolutely loaded with talent and standout performances from Vanessa Kirby and Joseph Quinn. If you thought the MCU died with Endgame, think again. Thoughtfully crafted and easily a genre-defining classic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several reactions called out Kirby\u2019s performance individually, with one person sharing: \u201cMatt Shakman delivers an action packed, humorous and fun film with #TheFantasticFour the family dynamic between Marvel\u2019s first family is there! The entire cast is great but the FANTASTIC standout is Vanessa Kirby\u2019s Sue Storm!\u201d<\/p>\n

But the praise for the performances didn\u2019t stop there. Someone else noted the chemistry between the characters was \u201cout of this world,\u201d adding: \u201cThe powers alone make for some great visuals, but the space sequences are quite breathtaking. If these are their first steps, I\u2019m excited to see what steps they take next.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another wrote: \u201c#TheFantasticFour is SIMPLY FANTASTIC! Marvel\u2019s first family shines with chemistry & charisma Stan Lee would be proud of. Visually incredible, the FF dazzle from start to finish. Ben Grimm brings the heart. Silver Surfer is perfection. Matt Shakman delivers one of Marvel\u2019s best.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing will prepare you for #TheFantasticFour First Steps. Pedro Pascal is the perfect Reed, but the entire cast shines and does right by these characters. It\u2019s funny, moving, gorgeous to look at, and non-stop FANTASTIC. This is @MarvelStudios at its brilliant best.\u201d<\/p>\n
