According to the lore of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the 2025 movie’s super team debuted four years ago on this very day - August 8th. It’s an occasion worth celebrating, though if you ask me, every piece of director Matt Shakman’s recent Marvel movie is worth the hype. No matter who you are, I think we can all agree that the character of H.E.R.B.I.E is not only a marvel of retro-futuristic science, he’s also adorable.
I didn’t think there was a way he could be improved from his cinematic debut in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. However, leave it to Walt Disney Imagineering to prove me wrong thanks to his debut as part of everything new to Disneyland including a very practical improvement. What was once done with CGI has now been achieved with science and engineering, as this bot’s got the ability to actually roll around Anaheim’s entertainment destination like he did in First Steps!
