The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) teaser trailer opens with a quiet, awe-inspiring shot of space, zooming past planets and stars before focusing on a mysterious, massive cosmic energy storm swirling in the distance. A voiceover from Reed Richards (John Krasinski) says: “Space… the final frontier. What secrets does it hold? And what dangers?” We then cut to Reed, a brilliant yet cautious scientist, preparing for a dangerous mission in his state-of-the-art lab. He’s joined by Sue Storm (Emily Blunt), his wife and an equally brilliant scientist, who shares his determination.
The screen flashes to the rest of the team: Johnny Storm (Dacre Montgomery), the cocky and impulsive brother of Sue, and Ben Grimm (David Harbour), the tough yet lovable best friend of Reed. The four of them are seen gearing up for an unprecedented space voyage—a mission that promises to unlock secrets never before explored by humanity. Tensions are high as the trailer hints at internal conflict between the team members, particularly between Reed’s cautious nature and Johnny’s reckless spirit. Sue reassures them all, saying, “This isn’t just any mission. This is the future.”
The scene then shifts to their launch into space aboard the Fantastic, the team’s advanced spacecraft, designed by Reed himself. As they soar past Earth and enter the uncharted energy storm, the trailer heightens in intensity. The storm begins to tear at the ship, and the team is bombarded with cosmic radiation. Flashes of light and energy consume them as Reed shouts for everyone to brace themselves. The screen goes black, and we hear the sound of a massive explosion.
Cut to Earth. The four team members wake up in a government quarantine facility, their bodies now altered by the cosmic energy. Reed’s body stretches uncontrollably, Johnny bursts into flames, Ben’s body is transformed into a rock-like creature, and Sue becomes invisible. As they struggle to understand their new powers, a voiceover from Reed says: “We wanted to push the boundaries of science. We never imagined it would push back.”
The action intensifies as the trailer cuts to the team grappling with their newfound abilities. Johnny flies through the air, engulfed in flames, shouting “Flame on!” Ben, now the massive “Thing,” smashes through walls as he comes to terms with his transformation. Sue conjures invisible force fields to protect the group, while Reed stretches his body to incredible lengths.
The trailer ends with the looming threat of a cosmic villain, hinted to be none other than Victor Von Doom, seen only in silhouette as his chilling voice declares: “The world will kneel before me.” The Fantastic Four stand together, ready for battle.
The title The Fantastic Four: First Steps appears on the screen, with the tagline: “The journey begins.”
