Movies: The Fantastic Four: First Steps - July 25, 2025

I love the retro vibe and aesthetic in the trailer

Looks really neat and they’re not changing Galactus too much from the look ofnit

 

[Satans Hockey]

Looks great, maybe the 3rd time is the charm with finally getting this right.

I am liking the retro feel to it

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

That's what I don't like about it lol, though I am not a fan of the Ben Grimm actor either

What in the world!

Ioan Gruffudd will always be the best Reed Richards, imo. The 2005/2007 movies stumbled in a few spots, but Reed's character was so damn good. Miles Teller was bland and unlikeable. Pedro Pascal just feels overexposed by now. I would have preferred another talented British actor with fewer Hollywood credentials. After a while it becomes less about the character he's playing, and more "oh look, it's Pedro Pascal, he'll sell tickets".

Marvel didn't exactly pick Robert Downey Junior out of obscurity in 2008....

The MCU is in terminal decline, if not for the decent Deadpool movie, it was close to dead in the water. They need the extra star power that Pascal brings (though Gladiator 2 wasn't exactly a hit...), basically I don't think they could afford to put this role on a newcomer.
