In a few months, Marvel’s first family finally makes its debut in MCU, but they do not arrive in the world we know.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps He takes us to a completely new corner of the Multiverse, one modeled by dreams of the spatial age of the 60s. It is retro. It’s nice. And it is different from whatever Marvel has already done. With it 4/4, Marvel shared a new poster and a couple of new photos.
Director Matt Shakmanwho previously had brought his retro sensitivity WandavisionThe confident spirit of America of the middle of the century is channeling, a moment in which space was the last frontier and the astronauts were national heroes.
Shakman said to Empire: “This concerns a lot about the spirit of the space of space. It is JFK and optimism. He is imagining these four who go to space instead of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
“This idea is that they are the most famous characters in America, because they are adventurers, explorers, astronauts – not because they are superheroes. And they come back and are superheroes above. But above all they are astronauts, they are a family.”
Before they are the Fantastic Four, they are explorers: Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), His Storm (Vanessa Kirby), Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn). Shakman wanted to root their story in a retro-fashion reality that could have come out of a dusty science fiction pulp or an old NASA archive.
“I really wanted to go with a possible version on the ground,” he explains. “So, no Wormholes. Their technology is very retro, but it is also Razzi Booster. It is a combination of Marvel and Apollo 11.”
Shakman leaned on practical cinema while he was making the film, saying: “I really wanted it to be as done in 1965, as Stanley Kubrick would have done.
This meant building real sets, using a huge miniature for 14 feet space and shooting through the old school lenses. “We used old lenses and adopted an approach to cinema that feels more time. Of course, we still have a lot of cg.”
This is a completely new style and a world for wonder. One without avengers, without a crossover. Shankman said: “We are our universe, which is wonderful and liberating. There is not really no [other] Superheroes. There are no Easter eggs. There is no meeting in iron man or other. I am, in this universe.
“I love the interconnected Marvel universe, but we can do something so new and so different. In the end this world will meet with other worlds, but for now this is our little corner.”
We already know they are ready to appear Avengers: Doomsday. But First steps It is a matter of bringing the MCU somewhere that has never gone before, in a version of the past that seems just imagined and incredibly cinematographic.
