Why Fans Think Galactus Will Destroy Fantastic Four’s Earth in First Steps?

by

A widely discussed idea on the internet posits that the Earth depicted in ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ could be destroyed by Galactus as the film concludes. This speculation has sparked interest among many followers who are eager to delve deeper into this theory and the proof backing it up. The unveiling of the First Steps teaser trailer, which offers a fleeting look at Galactus, has only intensified this eagerness.

As a gaming enthusiast, I can’t help but wonder: Could Galactus obliterate the Fantastic Four’s vintage Earth, as hinted by the theories surrounding First Steps? Let me break down what we’ve gathered so far.

Will Galactus destroy Fantastic Four’s retro Earth in First Steps?

It’s yet uncertain if Galactus will obliterate the Fantastic Four’s re-created Earth in the storyline titled First Steps.

According to a popular online speculation, it’s suggested that Galactus might consume the alternate Earth (Retro Earth) in the upcoming storyline. Given his comic book persona as a world devourer, this seems plausible for his character. If this theory holds true, Doctor Doom’s villainous actions in “Avengers: Doomsday” would be catalyzed by Retro Earth’s destruction. This could potentially lead the Fantastic Four to team up with the Avengers from the main Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline to thwart him.

Furthermore, this theory might account for the reason behind the Fantastic Four’s arrival on the primary Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) Earth following their hypothetical escape from the destruction of their alternate reality.

Several crucial moments from the newly unveiled trailer hint at the previously mentioned idea.

The initial shot displays the Fantastic Four gazing at a blazing sky littered with fireballs and meteors, from the Baxter Building. In another sequence, Ben Grimm is seen sprinting through debris. These scenes hint that the older Earth version may suffer extensive harm or face imminent destruction.

In the last scene of the trailer, we see Earth being enveloped by Galactus’ ominous shadow, and then he appears on the planet. This suggests that Earth may be at risk of complete annihilation.

It’s just a hypothesis, but we’ll know for sure if the Earth of the Fantastic Four gets destroyed when the movie “First Steps” premieres in theaters on July 2025.
