What is The Fantastic Four: First Steps About
The Fantastic Four: First Steps is the story of Marvel's first superhero family. The story focuses on Reed Richards, Sue and Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm, who, after being exposed to cosmic radiation, gained their powers. The movie focuses on the Fantastic Four coming face-to-face with Galactus, the World Devourer.
As the name suggests, Galactus wants to destroy Earth, and the movie focuses on the superhero team's relationship with one another and how they stop the calamity. The Fantastic Four will play a major role in Avengers: Doomsday. If you haven't watched it yet, you can catch it in theaters now or wait for it to release on streaming platforms.
