The official trailer for Fantastic Four First Steps dropped today. Take a look.
It doesn’t look bad. I’m a little more interested in the film from this trailer than I was by the teaser trailer. We do get a couple of confirmations. Sue Storm is pregnant, which will be the first time Franklin Richards will appear in live action.
We also get confirmation that Shalla-Bal is the Silver Surfer and we get our first look of her as the hearld of Galactus. As I mentioned in the teaser trailer post, she is the lover/wife of Norrin Radd, whom we saw as the Silver Surfer in the first iteration of the Fantastic Four films. (We don’t talk about the one in 2015.)
While I will remain cautiously optimisitc, I’m not quite ready to run to the theater to see it. I’ll probably wait a while to see how it’s received by Marvel fans and audiances and that’s just out of sheer curiosity. Negative or positive, I’ll still see the film but it’ll ultimately boil down to theater or streaming service.
What did you think?
“The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it conveys emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle.”
