After a long, long wait, Marvel’s First Family is finally part of the MCU. Matt Shakman’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps will hit theaters on July 25 and introduce Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben into the Marvel Cinematic Universe fold. The first teaser revealed a movie that’s retro, bright, and likely set in an entirely different universe, making it unlike anything the MCU has tried yet.
But the most exciting part of the trailer was a glimpse at the movie’s big villain — one of the biggest in Marvel history — which proves that Marvel is now embracing an element of its comic book history that it previously shied away from.
