Overview

• Official Instagram posts debuted in-universe newspaper front pages revealing the team’s classic blue-and-black Jack Kirby–inspired costumes from their earliest battles.
• Behind-the-scenes photos of Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby and Joseph Quinn in the classic suits suggest longer sequences were trimmed, including John Malkovich’s planned Red Ghost encounter.
• Costume designer Alexandra Byrne told GQ she used knitted, ribbed fabrics infused with fictional “Reed technology” to balance 1960s sci-fi authenticity with practical functionality.
• A ComicBook.com analysis hails First Steps as the definitive Fantastic Four film for portraying Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben as equally brilliant collaborators rather than centering a single genius.
• Additional newspaper art teases the team’s clash with the Mad Thinker and Sue Storm’s peace negotiations with Mole Man, expanding the film’s retro world-building beyond its theatrical cut.
