The Fantastic Four: First Steps will present a practical Galactus costume, not a complete CGI creation

For years, fans have implored Marvel to do well from Galactus. No more mysterious spatial clouds. No vague contours or cosmic powder storms. Only give us the imposing, terrifying, accurate comic world furniture in all its battleship.

WELL, THE Fantastic Four: first steps director Matt Shakman I felt the cries and is about to deliver.

In a recent interview with Entertainment WeeklyShakman spoke of the main bad guy of the film Galactus revealing that this time it is not a completely CG creation.

“I just didn’t want to use the movement of the Galactus movement. I really wanted to have someone who embodied the part,” Shakman said.

Ralph Ision is bringing his signature intensity (and that unmistakable voice) to the role and a complete costume for Galactus has been built. Not only pajamas and green screen points on the face and design is inspired by Jack Kirby’s legendary comic art.

Shakman explained that extensive photographic tests were performed to nail the adequate film scale. “We did many photographic tests to understand:” How do you make sure that the staircase is correct? How does Mount Rushmore filma? “, He said.

This rooted approach adapts perfectly to the retrofuturist atmosphere of the film. Shakman previously described the tone as “Where Kirby meets Kubrick”, a mix of cosmic psychedelic adventure and visions inspired by the 1960s.

Pedro PascalThose who play as Reed Richards, added a small perspective on how big a galactus threat is.

“It is certainly a threat scale that Reed has never experienced. Even the most intelligent man in the world is surprising by a being who exceeds his understanding of time.”

This is the type of cosmic horror energy I want to see! The Fantastic Four: First Steps It opens on July 25, 2025 and we are ready to attend the real hunger for Galactus.
