I can say I'm intrigued by the whole retro 60s look but, it also feels like a not real 60s. I don't know if I'm making any sense. Why would it feel like the real 60s when that was never the goal? The official synopsis explicitly states it's "Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world," It's like those old world's fairs showcasing a city of the future. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/148873-the-fantastic-four-2025/page/2/#findComment-8572796

I don't know if I'm making any sense. For me, it was the hairstyles that felt off. Susan Storm doesn't have a 60's style cut and the color is a weird type of streaked platinum white (in some scenes). And Pedro couldn't be bothered to shave off his mustache -- kind of like Keanu Reeves and his beard. They may be going for something - but it also comes off as a little lazy or non-committal to the era. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/148873-the-fantastic-four-2025/page/2/#findComment-8572805

I never read the synopsis all i heard was it was set in the 60s and then saw the trailer. And yes, that's exactly what it looked like, those old cartoons about houses/cars etc in the future that just never matched what actually developed. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/148873-the-fantastic-four-2025/page/2/#findComment-8573035

Reportedly, it is a different universe in the '60s, but in their universe they never went through the dark ages. So it's a more futuristic version of the '60s. So there's no reason to think they have to stick to strictly '60s hairstyles. Also, the FF is supposedly from the MCU's 616 universe, so that might affect their choices too. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/148873-the-fantastic-four-2025/page/2/#findComment-8573085

tv echo April 4 Author Share April 4 (edited) CinemaCon 2025: Every New Walt Disney Studios Announcement By DF Writers April 3, 2025 https://discussingfilm.net/2025/04/03/cinemacon-2025-disney-marvel-avatar/ Quote The Fantastic Four: The First Steps Release Date: July 25, 2025 Directed by Matt Shakman Screenplay by Peter Cameron, Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan, Eric Pearson, & Ian Springer. Based on the comics by Jack Kirby & Stan Lee. Produced by Kevin Feige,& Mitchell Bell. Main Cast: Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bacharch, Paul Walter Hauser, Julia Garner, & Ralph Ineson. Exclusive Footage Description: Kevin Feige treated CinemaCon 2025 attendees with brand-new footage of The Fantastic Four: The First Steps. The footage opens with our titular family/superhero group being brought onto a talk show, it is established that the Fantastic Four have been around for a good while in this alternate universe of the MCU and are beloved by their society. Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby) and Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal) arrive late to dinner with Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bacharach), but to make up for it, she announces that she is pregnant. Johnny congratulates the couple, saying Sue will make a great mom and joking that Reed has some work to do. Things seem to be going well in this dimension until the Silver Surfer (Julia Garner) comes to Earth and warns the Fantastic Four that their world has been marked for imminent destruction. The shadow of Galactus is shown looming over New York, and the Silver Surfer tells our heroes they are in a race against time to save Earth from destruction. A civilian asks Reed Richards if they are going to be okay, to which he answers, “I don’t know.” We see him consumed by his research, burdened by their heroic responsibilities. Sue and Reed make a promise for the future of their child, and we are shown Reed giving a speech and telling the public that the Fantastic Four will protect them. The trailer ends with a shot of the Silver Surfer riding on the iconic board away from the burning flames of an explosion. Thunderbolts, Avatar: Fire And Ash, Fantastic Four: First Steps And More At CinemaCon 2025's Walt Disney Studios Panel - Live Blog By Jeff McCobb https://www.cinemablend.com/movies/live/thunderbolts-and-more-at-cinemacon-2025s-walt-disney-studios-panel-live-blog Quote April 3, 2025 at 6:58 PM Kevin Feige joined us via video to introduce a new trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps! Vanessa Kirby's Sue Storm informs the crew that she and Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards are having a baby. Joseph Quinn's Johnny Storm tells Sue that she'll be the best mom ever, but hilariously tells Reed that he doesn't have the same faith in his abilities as a dad. It seems that The Fantastic Four are in a pretty good place, as the whole world loves them and praises the astronauts as heroes. The crowd erupted as Julia Garner's Silver Surfer appeared on screen! It's really the only way to do the character in live-action, with the look being detailed and textured, not the smooth cartoonish version of the character we've seen in the past. We quickly have to move past how awesome she looks as she informs the crew that Earth has been targeted for destruction. See it July 25!

MadyGirl1987 Yest. at 03:30 PM Share Yest. at 03:30 PM Looks good to me. I’m interested in how they seem to imply Galactus was drawn to Earth by the 4’s voyage to space. Is that something from the comics? Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/148873-the-fantastic-four-2025/page/2/#findComment-8638164
