The trailer introduces Mr. Fantastic, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and The Thing, alongside the formidable supervillain, Galactus. Opening with a dinner scene at the Baxter Building, the trailer showcases the film's stylish 1960s retro-futuristic aesthetic and hints at an epic battle unfolding in New York City.

We witness Ben Grimm's transformation into The Thing, alongside the team's trusty robotic companion, H.E.R.B.I.E., both seemingly engrossed in culinary pursuits. Elsewhere, Sue Storm briefly displays her powers as the Invisible Woman, and Johnny Storm soars through the air as the Human Torch.

Here's the official synopsis for The Fantastic Four: First Steps:

Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Marvel’s First Family — Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn), and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) — as they confront their most formidable challenge yet. Forced to balance their heroic duties with the strength of their familial bonds, they must defend Earth from the voracious space god, Galactus (Ralph Ineson), and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus’ plan to consume the planet weren't daunting enough, it takes a deeply personal turn.

Speculation is rife among fans regarding a potential appearance by Robert Downey Jr. as the iconic villain, Doctor Doom, either within The Fantastic Four: First Steps or through a teasing cameo. Feige has confirmed the Fantastic Four's presence in both Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
