Marvel Studios is gearing up to bring one of its most iconic teams to the big screen with The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and a thrilling new set photo offers a glimpse into the cosmic adventures awaiting fans. Known affectionately as Marvel's First Family in the comic books, the Fantastic Four are set to make their grand entrance into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) with a star-studded cast currently in production for the highly anticipated 2025 release.

Following the online buzz surrounding Joseph Quinn's portrayal of the Human Torch, Marvel has unveiled an official image featuring Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby as the MCU's Reed Richards and Sue Storm, respectively, alongside key creatives from Marvel Comics. This move echoes the approach taken by James Gunn for DC's upcoming Superman reboot, involving comic book creators in the process as the MCU's reboot of the Fantastic Four takes shape.

Although the set photo does not divulge any new plot details, it offers a tantalizing look at Reed and Sue in their costumes, hinting at the team's space suits. When the cast was first announced for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Marvel Studios shared concept art showcasing the actors in their MCU roles, including a glimpse of Ebon Moss-Bachrach's Ben Grimm in a traditional NASA astronaut suit. The new set photo reveals a distinct type of space suit for the superhero team, with white and blue Fantastic Four suits visible in the top right corner.

While the Marvel characters' powers originate from exposure to cosmic rays in space, it has been indicated that the MCU film will not center on the Fantastic Four's origin story. Instead, the Future Foundation is teased to play a significant role in the reboot. Given the scientific nature of the team and their space-faring adventures, it's likely that the 2025 MCU film will incorporate elements of space exploration. With the confirmation of Galactus and the Silver Surfer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, it's reasonable to expect the team to embark on interstellar missions.

Our analysis of the Fantastic Four space suits suggests that there may be a shared element between the main costumes and the space suits, as the suits in the set photo appear to have subtle differences between them. This aligns with the pattern observed in the main Fantastic Four costumes, where each team member seems to wear a unique Fantastic Four suit. This can be discerned by examining the official The Fantastic Four: First Steps concept art and set photos of Joseph Quinn's Human Torch, and we are thrilled by the prospect of each Fantastic Four hero having their own distinct style.
