The Big Picture Tonight at SDCC, Marvel president Kevin Feige dropped some news about the upcoming The Fantastic Four, the long-awaited movie about Marvel's first family, as he introduced the cast of the movie on-stage at Hall H ahead of the beginning of principal photography this week. Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Joseph Quinn were joined on stage by director Matt Shakman, to reveal the official title of the film: The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
The first major attempt to bring Marvel’s First Family to the big screen came in 2005 with Fantastic Four, directed by Tim Story. Starring Ioan Gruffudd as Mr. Fantastic, Jessica Alba as Invisible Woman, Chris Evans as Human Torch, and Michael Chiklis as The Thing, the film aimed to capture the essence of the comic book team. While it received mixed reviews, it was a commercial success and introduced a new generation to the Fantastic Four.
In 2015, the franchise was rebooted with Fantastic Four, directed by Josh Trank. This version starred Miles Teller as Mr. Fantastic, Kate Mara as Invisible Woman, Michael B. Jordan as Human Torch, and Jamie Bell as The Thing. The film took a darker, more serious tone, but it was plagued by production issues and creative differences. Despite a promising cast, the film was a critical and commercial disappointment, leaving the future of the franchise in doubt, until now.
