FANTASTIC FOUR FIRST STEPS Trailer Footage Breakdown & Plot Revealed!

[@bromodragone8405]

Why do people keep forgetting that Galactus can alter his own height at will?

[@JazzedUpJavaCafe]

exactly. He is listed as 28 Ft Tall and his size is dependent on I believe how much energy he has. If he is not eating he'll be smaller, but if he is eating a lot he be massive. And the way he looks is based on the Eye of the beholder. Humans see him in a Human form, if Galatcus went to a world where it was filled with sentient beings that looked like Spiders, then Galactus would look like a Spider to them

[@raheem7632]

@@JazzedUpJavaCafeI knew of Galactus since I was a child and I never knew this about him. That’s cool

[@TheSirNoir]

and on average he's stay 6-10 stories tall, no bigger

[@knighthawk3749]

Also Galactus doesn't actually eat worlds like apples. It consumes the life energies of worlds. So, in most cases, the planets do not blow up and living creatures don't just drop dead. The planet can no longer sustain life after Galactus is done with it.

[@truthhurts3524]

I know pretty much zero about the comics, and I just assumed Galactus could manipulate his size.

[@GenerationWest]

Galactus can alter his size, and at his smallest he can be like 28ft, or grow to reach the size the Baxter building... But he's usually always smaller that a Celestial. Like, he can fit inside Knowhere. Plus, he doesn't physically eat planets, he has a big machine on his ship that destroys the planet, and turns it into energy that his body absorbs.

[@knighthawk3749]

He can choose to consume the energies directly, but prefers using the machine because it's more efficient. Celestials can also alter their size to be smaller so they can walk upon the planet's surface. We saw that in GOTG 1.

[@Mitchiepoo97]

We've even seen his human form before.

[@terebibae]

Galactus has varied in size over the years, he isn’t always like unicorn. He uses machines to process and devour a planet.

[@patrickdoyle6201]

He might also be able to change size at will but that also requires energy, causing him to hunger, even as he puts the machine together

[@nijahs]

I know you meant Unicron but I can’t stop thinking of a unicorn with Galactus’ helmet 😂

[@joshhubbard-yg1tv]

​@@nijahs 😂😂😂

[@locutusuk68]

The car at comic con was a helium filled car shape balloon, It's remote controlled

[@marcusyates3044]

Mr. Fantastic: "Who wants to see an explosion?"

[@frankflentye]

No wires used for the flying car at comic con. I work the event every year. The car was a big blow up toy with drone propellers. Just a big toy. Really cool big toy drone.

[@samuelwilliams8575]

You know Reed and Sue's children could be infants and "First Steps" could also be a reference to them reaching that milestone.

[@erikfinkel2717]

Came here to say this, but knew in my heart it had already been said

[@IAmMightyMike]

Pretty sure they made this point on another video

[@doubleohnine]

i just could. not. care. anymore about ANYONES kids in the MCU. the mcu was built on adult being adults and things only went down hill AFTER phase 3 when they tried to switch things up, we do not need a young avengers.

[@IAmMightyMike]

@@doubleohnine 🥱

[@psgouros]

galactus' size was wildly variable in the comics depending on the circumstances he was in. at one point he was nearly down to human scale. other times star system sized. simply being the size of a building isn't a stretch...

[@TheFruitNewt]

You're right. You know what is a stretch though? Mr. Fantastic.

[@inkglass1676]

Galactus: Come forth my herald Franklin: Come forth my Galactus

[@erikfinkel2717]

Ben: Clobbering For...ward, It's.... My Time!!! *springs up from buried rubble*

[@jpetersgoyanks]

There’s no avoiding it… this Film is gonna be fantastic!

[@a-bomb777]

11:21 Valeria was names after Dooms childhood girlfriend, his mother was named Cynthia

[@andyk2607]

Galactus can change size in the comics. Could definitely explain why he looks smaller in that image

[@oluwabunmiadedotun3807]

I have high hopes for this movie, it’s gonna be fantastic…

[@eyeaytee]

Say that again…

[@Sims_III]

...say that again?

[@U_S_A-freedom]

Say that again…

[@HermosaFeCatolica]

🎵 But he's got high hopes He's got high hopes He's got high apple pie In the sky hopes 🎵 😀

[@oliviafrancis-g7y]

🤨 say that again?

[@animatedreactions5702]

WHERES THE PROPER RELEASE OF THE TRAILER? PLEASE MARVEL PLEASE

[@OpenPhoenix]

Probably next month or close to super bowl weekend d

[@patrickdoyle6201]

Super Bowl? KRAVEN? WICKED?

[@drasvader1]

Galactus doesn't actually eat the world with his mouth

[@parsman9914]

Right?

[@DeSheaShavers]

Go read the Earth X comic. That’s where the Russo’s and Shackman are pulling plot points outta that story.

[@kingbob147]

Can’t Galactus change sizes in the comics?

[@jays658]

John Malkovich better be voicing HERBIE

[@virtualrealityfitness283]

Kangs name still looms all over this saga!

[@benjaminalexander390]

Galactus can change his size

[@Jokester954]

I bet “Gets very personal” refers to RDJ as Doom

[@Vanpiresquids]

Galactus has always been able to mass shift if I’m not mistaken

[@Ayejimmeh]

I dont know I think I'm one of the few that are kinda jaded when it comes to stories that revolve around kids. I get it because of the comics and who Franklin turns out to be. I just wish we could enjoy a full movie of just the team then start to introduce the kids in later sequels

[@arc7375]

Understandable, but how many times do we have to see the FF origin? Although I love the first two renditions of Spiderman, I was so glad we got to skip it for Homecoming.

[@Ayejimmeh]

@ not necessarily just an origins story but maybe what they did for Spiderman with Homecoming. Maybe having them exist as their celeb personas, fighting foes leading to the big bad. Then leave it on a cliffhanger with him taking the kids. I realize I’m just whining lol let them cook. Lol

[@dariuswilliams2879]

2:16 “original marvel character named birdie” seems to be a potential coverup for Sky, one of Johnny storm’s many love interests from the Dan Slott comic run, who also has wings. Just a thought tho…

[@dariuswilliams2879]

Also respectfully, galactus can shrink! Idk why people are always confused about that lol

[@eharris20101]

Remember galatics can shrink down.

[@Vanguardmetrics]

Galactus is known to be able to change his size, we can definitely see the trailer footage of galactus in the film.

[@joshuakirkland2747]

Love what y’all are doing keep it up !

[@CalicoEvrywerigo]

5:16 When Wanda spaghettified Reed 838 can’t say much more 11:46 but 084 Lehigh anomaly, BOMARC Base missile explosion, time-dilation, geo-teleportation, Wheaton, NJ, Windham, OH, Arlington, VA & NY, 11:46

[@summertime_blooz]

I'm going to this movie 3 times the first three days it comes out.

[@NickelAntonius]

Galactus can alter his size to fit where ever he wants to go. He walks around on Battleworld in Secret Wars 1984 just like everybody else, abeit a lot taller.

[@dmurphine]

Valeria was not Victor Von Doom's mother. His mother was Cynthia, and Valeria was his childhood girlfriend. Who he later sacrificed to create his skin armor in the (forgettable) Unthinkable series in Fantastic Four by Mark Waid.

[@bullbae02]

galactus sent his favorite herald years ago and he never came back... so he tracks down silver surfer to earth and brings his replacement, his beloved! with herself turned into a herald as well.

[@Dan-s6p]

Remember Galactus' form is only through the eyes of who's viewing him. His size also can be what he wants.

[@ryanepicsauce7737]

actually galactus's official height is (i think) 35 feet tall, and in a few different adaptations he devours worlds through Ta 2

[@extremepower5765]

Definitely my most anticipated 2025 movie, alongside Superman.

[@funkygarcia]

The car was a balloon lol

[@maromus]

as stated by a few already Galactus official height is like 28 feet and he can alter it at will. He doesn't generally devour a planet like we would eat a meal. he has always used his world devouring machine to syphon off energy from a planet right?

[@chris404]

Could the title of "First Steps" also be a double entendre of not only Fantastic Fours first steps into the MCU, but also Reed and Sues childrens "first steps"?

[@JosephLeary-qe6oy]

I worked with Natasha Lyone on pokerface

[@SeraphinMallari]

i think galactus is smaller because in the original comic, he was only 20ish feet tall

[@goku2439141]

Galactus can change his body size at will

[@magusware8721]

The flying car is essentially a remote controlled blimp

[@TheLastZeekasaur]

the flying car was just a giant drone that was air filled and crontrolled on the ground by someone. They mostly use them in indoor stadiums where there is little wind to no wind to move them around.

[@AdamLongandTall]

I need Natasha Lyonne as Herbie

[@PastTense82]

Did NOT hear "F-Up-date" the first time... nor the second lmao!! Ya'll silly

[@bouhhgz1969]

I’m glad I’m not the only one to point out Galactus, has in comics; altered his size over the years & the method in which he “devours” a planet.

[@RunningActor]

Galactus traditionally isn't actually a physical being. In the last few decades of comics, we've been shown that every planet sees him differently (as a giant version of the dominant species usually), we as readers usually see him as a human-like being.

[@gavinspake4584]

I think Leone will play the robot voice. Seems like it would be funny

[@bobbyshmert8795]

"Say that again?"

[@rosyellis14]

super excited for this

[@waynegrayson2904]

Should’ve called it “Fantastic Four-thcoming”

[@JScotty4Reel]

Only commenting to say I’ll wait for the trailer to be officially released. Plenty to keep us occupied until then

[@mr_dark1200]

Need Easter egg detailed video of Dune: Prophecy tv series

[@xGhostCat]

Nobody pointing out the Baxter is located next to grand central where Stark Tower/Avengers tower would be.

[@DevinDistortion]

I'm pretty sure the car floating from D20 was done by having some sort of RC drone underneath the front/back ends (so perhaps two separate drones connected to one controller)

[@SpaceCopper]

The name of the movie itself is going to be a double entendre with it not only referring to the first steps on the moon, but also Valeria and Franklin's first steps being babies and seeing them grow a bit before Galactus arrives seeking Franklin - who is the only being that can end his eternal hunger since he can continually make worlds.

[@TheQuantumKoala]

7:57 I may have to disagree with Erik's point with the dating game screenshot. Looks like from left to right could be Reed, Johnny, and Ben. Presumably, the trio could be invited on as contestants after making waves as heroes? Could be overanalyzing but seems like it fits the 60s aesthetic.

[@austinds]

Natasha Lyonne is going to be Jean Grey.

[@CalebByRamen]

Galactus changes size lol

[@noahm398]

I’m so excited for this movie!! This is my most anticipated MCU project of 2025.

[@twincast2005]

Franklin is destined to be the sole survivor of this cosmic cycle and be the Galactus of the next universe(s), so rather than feeling threatened by him, I find it more likely that Galan wants to take Franklin with him as an apprentice to prepare him for his future role.

[@jctehada]

Galactus is able to resize, so his size dont matter

[@ryanmckm7368]

How killer would it be if they adapted that sequence from the comics but that's how it opens. Reed tucking Franklin in, giving that monologue, and over the opening credits we get that home movie?

[@OliverDacosta]

Now you say about kids I was thinking “first steps” could mean them taking there first steps in life and galactis saying it as a threat “I will have the kids before there first steps” or even the fantastic 4 say it when they land where ever they are going

[@blowc1612]

😂 NO 😂 Galactus isn't threatened by anything. That makes no sense if you know who Galactus is. Galactus doesn't just eat planets for energy but also he exists to balance the universe in order for Celestials to not have an over population. He only eat planets with a Celestial in it.

[@preeti3095]

I think the Comic Con Car was flying using drones

[@raymundodelacruz5173]

Galactus Popcorn Bucket!

[@sog4eternity]

galactus can change his form at will, when he first met the ff he shrunk in size to set up his world-devouring machine so that’s probably the case in the trailer footage

[@allanflores1077]

Crazy idea: Galactus is Reed Richards.

[@erikfinkel2717]

I believe the Galactus peering through the building Is merely a projected apparition revealing to FF Fam his cosmic presence to them with a warning ultimatum. I don't think that's supposed to represent his to-scale physical form.

[@parsman9914]

Franklin: “To me, my Galactus!”

[@travismiles8104]

@NewRockstars I think their gonna partly go off that one comic where galactis come to talk to Reed about his child

[@ShamyaRhames]

I think Natasha Lyonne is playing Alicia Masters just my theory.

[@treanmunt1420]

Im pretty sure galactus can change his size From devouring a planet in seconds To being small enough to interact with that world for the Plot so the heros can win

[@Android-bq5iz]

Remember a hungry galactis is smaller than a full one

[@jpmcpheemcphee2695]

Galactus can manipulate his size, he also appears to be the same lifeform that is looking at him, so if a monkey is looking at him, he'll appear as a giant Purple and blue monkey

[@atraina6921]

I still don’t know how I feel about starting a F4 franchise with a 50 year old Reed Richards, but Pedro’s a good actor and looks good for his age so I’m excited.

[@knighthawk3749]

Reed ages so I have no problem with a 50 yr old actor. Having a 50+ yr old Blade however, makes zero sense.

[@briickhead1886]

If it makes you feel any better, John Malkovich has been casted as Red Ghost

[@AztechHydra]

Omg flight of the navigator referenced!!!!!

[@RandomJtv]

The entire cast of Ted Lasso is going to be in the MCU by the time Avengers: Secret Wars is out.

[@snarktwain644]

Dude, NewRockStars better be on Marvel's media list!

[@juliahoever4612]

I like the time dilation theory to get them to the 21 century. I also imagine Austin Powers vibes

[@Raplasagna]

Franklin and galactus are also both very important in the history of the marvel universe book

[@jamesotis2006]

If U ever watched the Old Marvel cartoons, Galactus can change his size whenever he chooses

[@bastidn]

What if Sarah Niles plays a Kang variant ? Because I don't think Marvel could erase that whole Kang Dynasty story and have to make a sort of transition by using one of his variants.

[@daeshawnblaylock6523]

Maybe it's insinuating that he'll gets bigger the more he devours that world

[@WhiteRaven696]

Valeria Richards is named after Doctor Doom’s childhood love (whom he skinned alive to augment his magical powers). His mother is named Cynthia Von Doom. Who is in charge of research over there?

[@TobyC96]

This is the marvel movie that all my intrigue and anticipation can’t help but go towards! I really hope it’s an awesome depiction of these brilliant characters!!

[@MrTardy-bk3lm]

I think at sdcc there were drones in the hollow model of the fantastic car

[@geesehoward357]

I'm still trying to figure out who were "the 4 astronauts" they were talking about in Wander Vision.

[@terenceheesch8351]

...wait...wasn't it already pretty much confirmed that John Malkovich was playing the Red Ghost due to set pics...🤔

[@paulburton8671]

That Fantasticar hovering over the crowd was an inflatable and really doesn’t do the actual thing justice, I’m sure.

[@TheRabbitRonin]

6:57 Most likely drones made it fly. Maybe Galactus can change his size in the MCU.

[@IAmMightyMike]

I'm going to assume because of their kids, Galactus will probably eat their world and the Fantastic 4 will escape and warn the 616 of the incoming incursions

[@blowc1612]

100% No. Galactus wouldn't eat worlds for that kind of reasons. He eats planets that have CELESTIALS in them. He not only eat planets for energy but he is also a balance in the universe in order to keep the Celestial population in check.

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

From 7:51 it seems to me that they're leaning hard into the Beatlemania sort of aspect that Peyton Reed envisioned. Which, as a massive Beatles fan, I'm very excited for. And maybe, like the Beatles, they burn bright for seven years then disappear entirely, to another universe...

[@Akuroxradio]

The kids will be projected in another dimension (universe). The Richards will think they are dead and go to "war" with Galactus whom they think is responsable. The boy will be a nexus being in the next movies. One of them will join forces with Doom.

[@nicholasvasquez7727]

Did you know Stan Lee say his catchphrase in avengers age of ultron

[@Mitchiepoo97]

Glactus literally chooses his size

[@LegendaryTunes]

"Fantastic Fu--" I could've sworn he said... but it couldn't be THAT right?

[@zertext6099]

Imagine excelsior is the one and only being of existence in the mcu. That person is Stanley watching over his creation and the only person who knows is Deadpool and decides to take his place going from universe to universe making sure that his legacy continues if he does end up buying Disney 😂

[@Kb-xq2ry]

Hoping this and superman are good 2025 is like the return of the classics im looking forward to it

[@mspirits9911]

What's the possibility of the whole movie is actually about the kids instead of the adults?
