One member of the Fantastic Four will be ‘the most important person in their universe’
When The Fantastic Four: First Steps premieres next July, it’ll deliver the MCU’s First Family in a way that fixes Marvel’s obvious problem. The Earth-616 universe doesn’t have a Fantastic Four team of its own, and that’s because Marvel didn’t have the rights to the characters while it was building the previous phases.
The purchase of Fox gave Marvel access to the Fantastic Four, and we’ve seen the first ones already. The multiverse made it happen. Fan-favorite for the Mr. Fantastic role, John Krasinski, appeared in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, where he promptly died.
We then saw Chris Evans reprise his Johnny Storm from Fox’s first The Fantastic Four movies in Deadpool & Wolverine. He also died rather quickly.
The multiverse will also help introduce First Family from The Fantastic Four: First Steps. This isn’t a spoiler, as the first trailers, teasers, and official comments from Marvel confirmed it. The MCU’s main Fantastic Four are actually coming from a different reality.
After First Steps, the Fantastic Four will stick around, and we’ll see them in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. I also expect the Fantastic Four to remain in this reality after the latter’s conclusion. Somehow, the resulting MCU must feature all of Marvel’s characters, including Deadpool and the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, and the Avengers.
In a multiverse filled with Fantastic Four teams, why is the First Family in First Steps so important for the main Earth-616 reality but also the safety of the multiverse? This is where the spoilers come in, as an insider might have the answer.
