The Fantastic Four's costume designer faced a problem that marks a first in the MCU

Initial reactions to The Fantastic Four: The First Steps have made their way online, and by the sounds of things, Marvel Studios has delivered a retrofuturistic treat unlike anything we've seen before.

What's interesting about The Fantastic Four's place in the MCU, however, is that they are the first official superhero team with matching threads. That pastel blue and four logo is part of their 'get-up and go' gear to don when they're off saving their world, and costume designer Dan Grace has recently spoken out about the challenge that came with dressing them for the occasion.
