The Fantastic Four's D23 Brazil Footage Breakdown

So, a new trailer was shown at D23 in Brazil but not yet online, but here's a break down:

The trailer opens with Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards giving a science lecture about the concept of parallel Earths existing "on different dimensional planes," immediately hinting at the movie's Multiversal ties.

While Reed may be trying to teach a class of children about the science of the Multiverse, they have little interest in such complex matters as he followed his explanation with, "Who wants to see a big explosion?"

Throughout the trailer, the Fantastic Four are preparing for a space mission, seemingly before receiving their super-powered transformation as Ebon Mass-Bachrach's Ben Grimm is yet to become The Thing.

Speaking of Grimm, the trailer sees him being photographed alongside Richards, who praises him as "the best pilot in the world," which he agrees with and adds how he is "the best looking" as well.

Adding to the family-focussed elements of The Fantastic Four, the team can be seen dressed up in classy attire as Reed announces, "We may a point to have family dinner once a week. Saturday at 7. No matter what."

At one point, the superhero family is shown approaching a retro-futuristic building in their blue and white space suits, which may mark their approach to the launch.

The Fantastic Four are expected to be portrayed as celebrity superheroes in their universe. As such, the team appears in a "Let's Make A Love Match" dating game, where silhouettes of each of the team's male members are shown.

Following the reveal of Joseph Quinn's Johnny Storm, his sister Sue (played by Vanessa Kirby) announces to the camera, "Ladies, he is very single," hinting at the famous playboy nature of the fiery hero.

As the Fantastic Four launch into space in their high-tech rocket, the world gathers to watch, with children flocking to TVs in windows to watch the take-off unfold while others gather to view it in person (as shown in early set photos that surfaced in August).

we now have an official plot synopsis :
Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios' 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' introduces Marvel’s First Family—Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) as they face their most daunting challenge yet. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner) And if Galactus’ plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren’t bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal.
 


Isn't . . .

Didn't they already make that movie with Chris Evans as Johnny Storm?

I mean, maybe they'll do a good job, but I couldn't care less about Galactus. Such a dumb threat.
Definitely sounds more like a remake than an original movie, but maybe in this version Galactus will look as dumb as he does in the comics.
