Fantastic Four: First Steps Clip Features Johnny, Sue Storm & Reed Richards

by

A sneak peek of “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” set to hit theaters on July 25, 2025, was shared by Marvel Studios in advance. The brief clip features Johnny Storm in a humorous dinner setting, alluding to the classic artwork of the Human Torch comics and subtly revealing the early family interactions within Marvel’s First Family.

Fantastic Four: First Steps clip shows Johnny annoyed with Sue Storm and Reed Richards

In the scene, I find myself saying, “You’re running behind schedule,” to Sue Storm, portrayed by Vanessa Kirby, and Reed Richards, played by Pedro Pascal. Sue queries, “What exactly do you mean?” To which I retort, “What do I mean by what do I mean? You’re late for dinner.” Notably, a cereal box in front of me showcases my superhero persona, the Human Torch, inspired by Jack Kirby’s artwork from Fantastic Four #3.

I shared a fantastic clip on X (previously known as Twitter) a while back, and by April 14, 2025, it had racked up an impressive 2.5 million views!

Additionally, it hints at an important turn in the narrative of Sue Storm’s character arc. When Johnny Storm informs Reed and Sue they’re running late, Sue responds, “Indeed, we are,” in a manner that implies she might be concealing something.

Fan discussions have sparked curiosity about whether she’s pregnant, a speculation that was validated at CinemaCon 2025. Marvel hinted that Sue will give birth to their son, Franklin Richards. In the Marvel Comics, Franklin is known for his extraordinary powers, including manipulating reality, teleportation, and possessing an apparent immortality.

In this imaginative universe, reminiscent of the 1960s with a futuristic twist, we find ourselves. Director Matt Shakman portrays Johnny as exceptionally intelligent, stating, “He’s aboard that spaceship for a purpose.” Furthermore, he underscores Johnny’s heroic qualities amidst his comical attempts to downplay them.

As a gamer, I couldn’t help but notice how the latest version of Johnny has softened his approach towards others. Instead of being so insensitive, it seems like he’s more mindful of people’s feelings now. Here’s hoping that this self-awareness will help him understand and curb his attention-seeking actions better. (via Entertainment Weekly)

As a die-hard fan, I’m thrilled to share that Pedro Pascal dons the role of Reed Richards, while Vanessa Kirby breathes life into Sue Storm in this movie. Joseph Quinn brings Johnny Storm to the big screen, with Ebon Moss-Bachrach embodying Ben Grimm. The villain Galactus is portrayed by Ralph Ineson, and Julia Garner takes on the Silver Surfer. Interestingly, Kevin Feige has confirmed that this film unfolds in an alternate universe. Excitingly, Marvel’s First Family will also make appearances in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars!
