Disney and Marvel have released a brief teaser for the upcoming film 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps', showcasing children running towards vintage TVs displaying a space mission. The limited visuals are complemented by an unusual soundscape of stock children's laughter, raising questions about the film's atmosphere. Two theories emerge: the laughter may indicate budget cuts in the face of superhero fatigue or serve a deliberate artistic choice to hint at an unsettling tone, echoing the eerie quality present in the director's previous work, 'WandaVision'.
The teaser for 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' utilizes stock children's laughter to create an uncanny quality, indicating something unsettling about the upcoming film.
