Galactus Descends in Fantastic Four: First Steps Trailer — MCU’s Biggest Threat Yet
Hey everyone, I just watched the brand-new trailer for Fantastic Four: First Steps and… wow. Just wow. The MCU isn’t holding back on this one. The trailer just dropped, and it’s the first real look at Galactus — not as some cloudy blob like we saw back in 2007, but in full, comic-accurate glory. Purple-and-blue armor, towering presence, and that haunting line: “I herald his beginning, I herald your end.” Goosebumps.
Ralph Ineson takes on the role of Galactus, and he’s terrifying — not in the shouty, over-the-top villain way, but in the quiet, cosmic way that makes you realize this isn’t just a battle for Earth. This is survival against a being that literally eats planets . The Silver Surfer, played by Julia Garner, also makes a striking appearance, gliding through space as his ominous warning echoes over images of chaos and destruction.

The Fantastic Four themselves — Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm — look like they’re facing something way beyond their usual threat level. We see them trying to stand their ground, but it’s clear: they’re way out of their depth here. And to make it more intriguing, the movie is set in a retro-futuristic 1960s alternate universe. Think Mad Men meets cosmic apocalypse.
Director Matt Shakman has gone all-in on practical effects too. Instead of relying on just CGI, they’ve built a full costume for Galactus to give him weight and scale — and it really pays off. There’s a shot in the trailer where Reed Richards looks up, and the sheer size of what they’re facing hits like a ton of bricks. It’s not just another superhero flick — this looks like a straight-up space opera tragedy.
There are also hints connecting this film to the broader Marvel universe. If you caught the post-credits scene from Thunderbolts , you might remember the Fantastic Four's ship soaring into view during a “space crisis” briefing. That scene, it turns out, is from the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday . So we’re not just looking at a one-off — this film is a key piece in the multiverse puzzle.
And maybe the most chilling part? There’s no sign of a happy ending. Reed Richards even says he’s not sure if Earth can survive this time. With a new baby in the picture and their entire world at stake, this could be the MCU’s boldest — and bleakest — story yet.
Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theaters July 25. Mark your calendars. If the trailer is any indication, we’re not just getting a new team — we’re witnessing the rise of Marvel’s most colossal villain yet.
