Gear up, the “Fantastic Four” super team is landing on Disney+ to deal with an existential crisis.
“Mister Fantastic” Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), “Invisible Woman” Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), “Human Torch” Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), aka “the Thing” assemble when the planet-devouring Galactus (Ralph Ineson) shows up, threatening to consume Earth unless Reed and Sue give him their newborn son.
As Marvel’s First Family journeys “across the cosmos,” they “discover the heart, humor, and family bonds that make them truly fantastic,” according to the film’s synopsis.
USA TODAY’s Brian Truitt gave the film ★★★ out of four, writing the combo sci-fi/disaster flick is “full of retrofuturistic 1960s flavor,” with a top-notch cast.
“It’s the most welcoming Marvel movie in ages, with no previous history or homework required,” Truitt wrote. “And like DC’s “Superman,” a spiritual cinematic sibling in a number of ways, ‘First Steps’ focuses on telling a compelling tale rather than just another origin story.”
Here is what to know about the “Fantastic Four: First Steps'” release on Disney+.
