A new fantastic Four clip reveals what – or should we say “who” – the villain of the Galactus film really wants: Franklin, Reed Richards and Sue Storm’s Baby.
In the clip, which you can look at below, Marvel’s first family is during a press conference after what seems to be their return to space. “Can you guide us through the way you defeated Galactus?” A journalist asks Reed (Pedro Pascal), to whom Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) replies: “We did not do it.”
“Not yet”, corrects it Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn). “Not yet, we haven’t done it.”
“We tried to negotiate,” continues Reed. “But Galactus … he asked for too high a price.”
“Well, what does he want?” Asks another journalist. “He asked for our child,” said Reed.
We already know that Vanessa Kirby’s Sue will be pregnant with Bébé Franklin in the new Marvel film thanks to other teasers, but it seems that the extent of his power is always kept under the Wraps. “It is not only adults who have superpowers,” previously teased the actor, so Franklin must be a fairly special baby – and especially if Galactus wants to bring him the destructive hand of the world … In the comics, Franklin is a very, very powerful mutant with powers modifying reality.
Ralph Ineson will play the bad deviant of the planet in the film, which is the first episode of Marvel Phase 6, while Julia Garner is her herald, the silver surfer. Matt Shakman of Wandavision is in the president of the director.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps arrives in British cinemas on July 24 and American theaters on July 25. In the meantime, consult our guide from other Marvel films and programs to come in 2025 and beyond.
