First Steps does an admirable job of introducing Marvel's first superhero team into the MCU along with two of its best villains.

Bachrach, Joseph Quinn and Julia Garner also star in Matt Shakman’s superhero adventure, in which the team must save Earth from a “Devourer of Worlds.”

The comics studio finally does right by the popular quartet with a retro-styled reboot, scaling back from the overcrowded feel of recent offerings.

Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby lead a solid cast in this comic-book throwback that doesn't rewrite the genre but celebrates it.

But it was a little odd to hear that Marvel also planned to make the Fantastic Four a major part of the MCU’s future. Even though the Fantastic Four have always been prominent in Marvel’s comics, the characters — created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee — had never translated well to the big screen.

First Steps, has revealed who directed the post-credits scene of the highly anticipated MCU feature. The scenes play an important role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as they tease future projects in the franchise.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps director Matt Shakman has reiterated that the movie is a standalone story that doesn't require any homework on Marvel fans' part.
