Marvel Studios aims to refresh the Fantastic Four's narrative by not retelling their origin story in a conventional manner. Instead, the new film, 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps,' introduces the characters as established heroes. The trailer hints at using flashbacks for their backstory, particularly during key moments of character reflection. Characters Reed, Sue, and Ben reminisce about their transformative space journey, suggesting that the plot may involve returning to space, possibly to confront Galactus. This approach aligns with Marvel's broader strategy to evolve superhero storytelling.
"A lot of people know this origin. How do we take that and bring something that they've never seen before?" - Kevin Feige.
"Before we went up the first time, you couldn't turn invisible, Ben wasn't a rock, and Johnny never caught fire..." - Reed.
The trailer suggests that the Fantastic Four's origins will be presented in flashback rather than as a linear progression.
Clearly, the movie will acknowledge their past because that transformation is part of what makes the characters interesting.
