Summary

  • Following the release of the Fantastic Four: First Steps trailer, some fans think a big clue was edited out.
  • Twitter users notice potential hidden pregnancy in the trailer.
  • The trailer & Marvel’s history add to speculation whether the pregnancy is being concealed.

As a keen movie critic, I’ve been captivated by the unveiling of the teaser trailer for Marvel’s “Fantastic Four: First Steps”. This sneak peek has sparked a whirlwind of discussion, not just because of its storyline hints, but also due to any subtle clues about the film’s plot. Instead of focusing on the appearance of our beloved heroes or even the impending threat of a universe-destroying villain, some eagle-eyed fans have spotted something intriguing.

The trailer for “First Steps” undeniably presented the characters who will form this team as they join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It hinted at a unique style and tone distinct from typical Marvel movies. The new interpretations of Reed Richards, Ben Grimm (a.k.a. the Thing), Johnny Storm, and Sue Storm were unveiled, marking their appearances on the big screen over the past two decades. The film also offered a sneak peek at Galactus, the anticipated main antagonist, who consumes planets, and is usually preceded by his emissary, the Silver Surfer. However, it was what the trailer left unsaid that sparked some detective work among Marvel enthusiasts.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps Trailer Hiding A Big Secret?

In the recently released trailer, some viewers have speculated that a moment appears to show a childbirth scenario on a spaceship, with Mr. Fantastic appearing to console his wife. However, it’s another scene that seems to have been intentionally edited for misdirection, suggesting that Sue may be pregnant for part of the film. This is inferred from a conversation between Reed and a man about family dinners, as well as Sue’s movements and posture in the scene, leading Twitter users to believe the video was altered to hide her baby bump, potentially for use in a later trailer or the movie itself. Another sequence in the trailer appears to show Sue sitting at an unusual angle, deliberately cutting off the view of her stomach.

Marvel’s history shows they often employ strategies to safeguard plot points, as evidenced by the absence of Spider-Man characters in trailers for “Spider-Man: No Way Home”. This pattern suggests that there might be an intentional cover-up regarding Sue Storm’s possible pregnancy. For now, the strange way she moves around the room is the main point raised in these speculations.

Different perspectives exist regarding the reasons for this decision. Some believe it’s mainly to prevent spoilers and preserve the element of surprise, while others suggest that the pregnancy could play a crucial role in the movie’s plot, necessitating discretion. The characters Franklin and Valeria, who are significant figures in the Fantastic Four comics, have sparked curiosity about their potential appearance in the MCU.

As a devoted fan, I’ve always looked up to Franklin and Valeria from The Fantastic Four comics. There’s been quite a buzz lately about the possibility of these two joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the near future.

If Sue turns out to be pregnant, it’s plausible that the trailer was manipulated, and the baby bump might have been digitally removed from the “family dinner” scene. This could give the impression that the scene is set within “The Fantastic Four: First Steps“, when in reality, if Sue is pregnant, it may signify one of the concluding scenes, hinting at the introduction of elder son Franklin in “Avengers: Doomsday” as he makes his MCU debut.
