From the moment The Fantastic Four: First Steps was announced, I knew Franklin Richards would play into the plot. Despite the movie’s space age retrofuturistic aesthetic, “First Steps” clearly didn’t refer to walking on the moon, but to a young child. Sure enough, recent trailers have revealed that Sue Storm’s pregnancy and Franklin’s birth will be central to the story.
Now, a new clip from the movie suggests Franklin is more than just a precious character to further motivate Marvel’s First Family to defend their planet from Galactus; he could be the entire point of Galactus’ invasion, and possibly one of the most powerful characters in the MCU. Check out the clip below.
