FAQ’s about The Fantastic Four: First Steps
Many will say THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS is fantastic, and they’ll be right for several reasons. The four main cast members are excellent, Michael Giacchino’s lively score is instantly memorable, and the ’60s retro-futuristic production design & dynamic visual effects are a delightful treat rather than an eyesore.
Setting the reboot in the 1960s is a deliberate choice to honor the source material’s origin, exploit rich thematic and visual possibilities, and carve a distinctive place for the Fantastic Four inside the MCU while allowing filmmakers narrative latitude to reframe and modernize core ideas later.
Robert Downey Jr. is set to portray Doctor Doom in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), with his debut appearance confirmed for the post-credits scene of “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” scheduled for release on July 25, 2025.
These 1960s markers may serve as an inspiration for the film, but they should be seen more as a jumping off point. That is because Fantastic Four: First Steps takes place in an alternate universe, and so their Earth is familiar but not quite the same — It is the 1960s but not as we know it.
What do you need to watch before the Fantastic Four First Steps? Nothing. It is a stand-alone story which in and of itself was very refreshing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe but it’s set on a different Earth from the main continuity of the MCU and so for that reason, it’s it’s own little pocket story.
