When The Fantastic Four: First Steps Terre in cinemas on July 25, it will not only mark the debut of Marvel’s first family in the new MCU, will also provide a maximum cosmic weight as never before, with Galactus.
And if the reputation of the villain as a force of nature that ate the planet has not already made it intimidated, director Matt Shakman It is ensuring that the visual elements make the rest.
In a new IMAX featurette behind the scenes, Shakman has made fun of a unique visual treatment:
“We designed the film to be entirely in Imax. You are going to space, but you are also in Manhattan, which is a vertical city, and we have captured that staircase.
“So, you have the biggest thing in the universe and the world adapts [makes hand gesture while video’s aspect ratio changes]. This film celebrates the IMAX format. “
So yes, when Galactus arrives, you will be able to experience the terrifying cosmic threat in an overwhelming presence that returns to everything else in the frame.
Set in a Retro-Futuristic version in the 1960s style of New York and beyond, the film is played by Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as his Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm. Julia Garner interprets the silver surfist-even if this time, it is the version of Sardinian-Bal of the character-e Ralph Ineson brings his gravitas from the gravel voice to Galactus.
The official synopsis reads: “According to the vibrant background of a retro-fault world inspired by the 1960s, The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces the first family of Marvel-Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), His Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm/human torch (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm/the Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) as they face their most discouraging challenge ever.
“Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend the earth from a ravenous god called Galactus (Ralph Inesi) and his enigmatic herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner).”
And if Galactus plans to devour the entire planet and everyone wasn’t bad enough, suddenly becomes very personal.
Also combined with the ensemble I am Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha LyonneAND Sarah Niles Each in roles still recovered, which is quite mystery to make the fans of the MCU speculate.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps aims to be more than a simple story of origin, he promises to be a full visual show that takes MCU Cosmic in a completely new way.
