The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Official Teaser Trailer (2025)

[Zaukrie]

I hate that they are using bad AI art for this (outside the trailer). I'm unsure how I feel about the trailer itself.

A CGI Thing is still worse than the body suit in the original film.

But other than that one nitpick, the trailer looks good. Pedro is being Pedro. I'm not sick of that yet.

 

[Ryujin]

Galactus. Huh. If they stick anywhere close to the original story then we'll be seeing someone else, as well.

She is cast.

 

[Paul Farquhar]

Pedro is being Pedro

This is the way.

 

[Ryujin]

She is cast.

I see that now. Interesting.

 

[Greg K]

She is cast.

And given that the Surfer was one of my favorite Marvel characters and I have been wanting to see him in the MCU, I will now be skipping the movie based on the unnecessary gender swap.

It is an existing character.

The movie's taking place in an alternate timeline...
Shalla-Bal is Norrin Radd's lover, and in the mainstream continuity she once held a portion of the Surfer's Power Cosmic. In the Earth X reality, when Franklin Richards becomes the new Galactus, he bestows the Surfer's powers on her as well.
So there is canonical precedent for a female Surfer, and they seem to be using some variation on her...

In an alternate universe and from a time period in Marvel publishing history about which I have little nice to say.
