Fantastic Four Joins the MCU in New Movie This July
Marvel is bringing the Fantastic Four into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) with a new movie called The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The movie will come out on July 25. It shows the four heroes — Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing — already having their powers for a few years. They now have to protect Earth from a giant space villain named Galactus, and his helper, the Silver Surfer, who is played by Julia Garner.
Julia Garner’s Silver Surfer is a little different from what fans know. In the original comics, the Silver Surfer was a man named Norrin Radd. But in this movie, Julia plays Shalla-Bal, a woman version of the Silver Surfer. Even Julia said she was surprised at first, but the director explained the new story to her, and she was excited to join the project.
To make the event even bigger, Marvel Studios and Marvel Comics worked together to create a special comic book that ties into the movie. This is the first time the movie team and comic team have teamed up like this. The comic, also called Fantastic Four: First Steps, will release on July 2. It tells the story of how the Fantastic Four first became heroes and celebrates the fourth year since they showed their powers to the world.
Marvel is planning a big celebration around the movie. They are even adding the Fantastic Four characters to Disneyland. The movie is being released not only in English but also in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu to reach more fans. Marvel wants this new version of the Fantastic Four to be a huge and exciting moment for everyone around the world!
