The Fantastic Four: First Steps is set to premiere on July 24, 2025, marking a significant return for Marvel's first family. The film is set in the 1960s and features actors Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby. Director Mat Shakman aims to attract both new audiences and longtime fans. The Fantastic Four comics, originating in 1961, benefit from exemplary artistic talent. Notable artists, including Walter Simonson and Dean Haspiel, reflect on the familial dynamics that characterize the heroes and their influence rooted in the 1960s.
"The Fantastic Four were created as characters who were essentially a family, with a family's love and tensions and squabbles on display as they unite to deal with threats to Earth, large and small."
"The Fantastic Four might've been a Timely Comics 'Hail Mar' that launched the Marvel Universe. A Challengers of the Unknown response to the 1960s space race and The Fab Four (aka The Beatles)."
