Why Fans Think Sue Storm Is Pregnant in The Fantastic Four: First Steps Teaser

by

The freshly unveiled sneak peek for the approaching movie titled “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” has left Marvel enthusiasts eager to witness their initial family on the silver screen. Though the teaser cleverly sets the stage for the film without divulging numerous plot points, some scenes showcasing Vanessa Kirby’s Sue Storm have sparked curiosity, leading spectators to presume that her character might be pregnant.

Here’s a look at whether the theory suggesting Invisible Woman’s pregnancy is valid has any merit at all.

Is Vanessa Kirby’s Sue Storm pregnant in The Fantastic Four: First Steps?

As I write this, it hasn’t been publicly announced by Marvel Studios that Sue Storm is pregnant in “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

As a gaming enthusiast who’s been keeping a close eye on the latest Fantastic Four updates, I can’t help but notice some intriguing details in the official teaser that have fans buzzing. One particular moment caught my attention – Joseph Quinn’s Johnny Storm leaping off a balcony, engulfed in flames, which is quite standard for him. But here’s where things get interesting: In the background, Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards is guiding Sue Storm into the building, and she seems to be clutching her stomach as if she might be expecting. Could this be a hint at an upcoming plot twist? Only time will tell!

Additionally, at the 45-second point, a worried Reed reaches out to comfort Sue, who appears to struggle with managing her abilities. This situation strangely resembles the labor pains of the Invisible Woman, adding more fuel to speculations that she might be expecting in the film, from my perspective as a fan.

While Vanessa Kirby tactfully avoided discussing her character’s journey into motherhood in The Fantastic Four: First Steps during a Good Morning America interview, her potential role as Franklin Richards’ mother is suggested by her part in the Secret Wars comic book series, where Franklin is the son of Reed Richards and Sue Storm.

By sheer coincidence or Marvel’s strategic planning, the MCU’s ongoing multiverse storyline will reach its end with 2027’s Avengers: Secret Wars. Given this timeline, it would be ideal to introduce and develop Franklin’s character in The Fantastic Four: First Steps before he becomes the main focus of the subsequent Avengers sequel.

Regarding the rumors about Sue Storm being pregnant in the upcoming MCU movie, we can’t confirm this for sure until the film premieres in theaters on July 25, 2025.
