Fantastic Four Retro Reboot Debuts With Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby

The Fantastic Four franchise has undergone multiple reboots since the 1990s, with varying approaches to costume design and storytelling. The latest MCU film, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, returns to the team's 1960s comic book roots with retro-futuristic aesthetics and classic blue-and-black costumes, as showcased in behind-the-scenes photos shared by star Pedro Pascal. Previous films, such as the 2015 Fant4stic reboot, opted for darker, more tactical suits that deviated significantly from the iconic look. The new movie features a talented cast including Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm, facing off against villains like Galactus and the Silver Surfer. Despite a modest box office start in India, the film has generated excitement for its faithful homage to the original comics and period style. There are hints that the team may receive new costumes in future MCU appearances, such as Avengers: Doomsday.
