In this episode of The Moviegoers Society, we dive into the retro-futuristic world of THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS — Marvel Studios’ bold new chapter that finally brings the First Family into the MCU spotlight.

We break down everything from the inspired 1960s setting to the standout cast featuring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben. We also get into the cosmic threat of Galactus (played by Ralph Ineson) and the chilling arrival of Silver Surfer (Julia Garner).

Plus, we give props to director Matt Shakman for channeling that classic Marvel vibe while introducing a fresh emotional core and visual style — and yes, Michael Giacchino’s score is absolutely next-level.

Is First Steps the introduction Marvel needed to launch this iconic team? What does this mean for the future of the MCU’s cosmic saga? We’re breaking it all down!

Celebrate Regal Community Days on August 2 & 3 at the newly renovated Regal Grand Palace in Houston with $3 tickets, free popcorn for Crown Club members, and family fun — all benefiting the Houston Alzheimer’s Association.
