Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps Premieres in Los Angeles Featuring Star-Studded Cast and Iconic MCU Cameos

Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Vanessa Kirby, and Pedro Pascal posed for a family photo at the Los Angeles premiere of the highly anticipated Marvel film, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, held at Dorothy Chandler Pavilion on July 21.

The stars looked stunning on the red carpet, with Vanessa Kirby matching the iconic Fantastic Four suits color, while Joseph Quinn and Pedro Pascal both opted for sharp white ensembles.

Joining them were notable co-stars including Ralph Ineson, Julia Garner, Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne, Sarah Niles, and director Matt Shakman.

The premiere also attracted legendary Marvel figures such as Ioan Gruffud and Doug Jones, who starred in the earlier Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, along with the cast of the unreleased 1994 The Fantastic Four movie, highlighting the film’s deep MCU roots.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is set against a vibrant 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world and introduces Marvel’s First Family: Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Kirby), Ben Grimm/The Thing (Moss-Bachrach), and Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Quinn). They face their greatest challenge yet — defending Earth from the cosmic threat of the space god Galactus (Ineson) and his mysterious Herald, Silver Surfer (Garner).

The film is scheduled for theatrical release on July 25. Fans can watch the trailer and check out early reactions online.
