There is also a rumored post-credits scene featuring Robert Downey, Jr. as Victor von Doom/Doctor Doom, the primary antagonist for Avengers: Doomsday (2026), with the Russo brothers returning to direct. This will be followed by the Russo-directed Avengers: Secret Wars (2027). The Russo brothers confirmed that the Fantastic Four will also appear in their two Avengers movies.

The teaser mostly introduces us to the four central characters, who are already famous (this doesn’t seem to be another origin story), and their specific powers. They’re living together in the Baxter Building, where they try to have dinner together at least once a week. In fact, Ben/The Thing shows a knack for the culinary arts as he oversees a robot’s (H.E.R.B.I.E.) efforts to create a dish: “I wanna add a couple cloves of garlic not because it’s not delicious, I just wanna add a little bit of zip.”

The teaser ends with a brief glimpse of Ineson’s Galactus, an ominous, shadowy figure looming over Manhattan, as Sue assures Reed, “Whatever life throws at us, we’ll face it together… as a family.”

Verdict: We like the retro styling and tone of the teaser, which evokes the classic comics. Here’s hoping the film as a whole can match it.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theaters on July 25, 2025.
