Summary

  • Fantastic Four: First Steps drops a short teaser featuring Sue, Reed and Johnny.
  • Fans speculate that the scene hints at Sue’s pregnancy being part of the movie’s storyline.
  • The Fantastic Four director and Vanessa Kirby suggest exploring unconventional superhero roles.

Marvel Studios has arranged three films for viewers this year, and they’ve recently unveiled a fresh sneak peek at one of the eagerly anticipated superhero movies that fans can’t wait to catch!

This year, aficionados of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) have been gifted with three superhero movies. The movie “Captain America: Brave New World” featuring Anthony Mackie premiered in February. It garnered mixed reviews from critics but was well-received by audiences. Two other films – “Thunderbolts” and “Fantastic Four: First Footsteps” – are yet to be released. Recently, a fresh trailer for one of the eagerly awaited MCU blockbusters has been unveiled, sparking great excitement among fans.

In a recent sneak peek, the upcoming Fantastic Four film shared a fleeting clip featuring Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, alongside Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic and Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman. The brief scene shows Johnny seemingly complaining about their tardiness for dinner, leaving Sue puzzled and asking for clarification. This has sparked speculation among fans that the scene may hint at Sue being pregnant in the film. Gamers and illustrator Dylan, for instance, believe Sue’s reaction stems from her belief that Johnny is already aware of her pregnancy plans. Excitement about this potential plot twist runs high among fans, even though the clip did not explicitly confirm the speculation, as they find it a promising hint.

It would be exciting if the upcoming movie “Fantastic Four: First Steps” includes a storyline about Sue’s pregnancy, following in the footsteps of her comic book counterpart who becomes pregnant with Reed’s child. This results in their son, Franklin Richards, and daughter, Valeria Richards. There have been whispers that Franklin, one of Marvel Comics’ most potent characters, may appear in the Fantastic Four film. If this is indeed true, it seems likely that Sue’s pregnancy will be part of the movie’s plot. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actress portraying Sue discussed the lack of maternal superheroes and hinted at exploring this aspect. Additionally, she mentioned her desire to depict Sue’s complex side, including her darker alter-ego, Malice, rather than just a stereotypical “goody, sweet mother.

It’s understandable that fans might think the scene shows Sue and Reed informing Johnny about her pregnancy. From what we see, when Johnny mentions they’re running late, his sister seems to react more than expected. Though it’s not immediately clear, she seems frightened or surprised by his knowledge of their significant news. Moreover, Sue and Reed seem relieved by his response, and she quickly affirms that indeed they are delayed for dinner.

It’s likely that the forthcoming movie will showcase Sue’s pregnancy, marking a significant departure as this is the first time a Fantastic Four film will delve into this plotline. This development is thrilling because it aligns with the team being Marvel’s first family, emphasizing their familial bonds, and Sue and Reed’s children being integral members of this family unit. In contrast, neither the 2005 nor the 2015 Fantastic Four adaptations portrayed Sue as a pregnant character or explored the development of their family life.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps will hit theaters on July 25, 2025.
