Doomsday theory explores how the Fantastic Four might travel to Earth-616. It suggests Reed Richards uses Galactus’ ancient ship tech, combined with his own inventions, to build multiversal transport and rescue Franklin Richards from Doctor Doom’s grasp.

First Steps, fans are already eager about Avengers: Doomsday, and there have also been speculations about Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal) leading the Avengers team in the upcoming movie. Though Reed has led the team in comics before,

So it’s counterintuitive that Trank’s film revisits the origins of Reed Richards (Miles Teller), Sue Storm (Kate Mara), Johnny Storm (Michael B. Jordan), and Ben Grimm (Jamie Bell), going back even further than the usual Fantastic Four starting point to spend 10 minutes on Reed and Ben’s childhood friendship.

From Reed Richards to the Silver Surfer, these are the primary characters of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, ranked.

But there was a very simple way for the MCU to reboot its thirst traps in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. And Pedro Pascal didn't even need to go shirtless for it. He would have simply needed to unbutton a bit.

In a 1982 arc by John Byrne, Franklin gets frustrated trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube and uses his powers to age himself into an adult body, though he couldn’t actually gain more emotional maturity. He winds up going back to being a kid, placing restrictions on his own abilities to allow him to have something of a normal childhood.

First Steps makes a bold move in stripping a superhero of their defining characteristic, but shifts the team's hierarchy.

After a number of false starts, the Fantastic Four have another feature adaptation in the retro-pastiche Fantastic Four: First Steps. This isn’t the first time Mr. Fantastic and co. have appeared onscreen; They were last seen in Josh Trank’s Fantastic 4 (stylized as Fant4stic) and Tim Story’s Fantastic Four films for Fox.
