“He’s galaxy size tho…why is he a skyscraper?” – Hilarious reactions erupt after new peek at Galactus in The Fantastic Four: First Steps

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is just a few months away from its release, and fans are eagerly counting down the days to see their favorite superhero team back in action, especially since it has been 18 years since the last Fantastic Four film came out. Marvel recently amped up the excitement even more by dropping a brand-new trailer, revealing new details about the movie, including a new Silver Surfer and the return of the iconic villain, Galactus. However, the glimpse they gave of Galactus was anything but ordinary.

At the end of the new trailer, fans got their first real look at Galactus, the main villain in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie. But it wasn’t that of his face, or even just a silhouette! Instead, it was a colossal, monstrous foot stomping through what appeared to be New York City, evoking serious Godzilla vibes! The brief tease has left fans hyped, eager to see what the cosmic villain will look like in full.

Hilarious Fan Reactions

Many fans were quite tickled by the brief tease of Galactus in the upcoming movie and quickly took to social media to share their hilarious reactions.

@Hardwired07 asked,

"He’s galaxy size tho…why is he a skyscraper?"

The name’s Galactus—a cosmic being who can be as large as a galaxy in the Marvel comics. So why is he the size of a skyscraper, as this fan asks? Well, Galactus has the ability to change his size at will, which we might just see in the movie.

Another fan, @basedXmundial, wondered,

"Why is he walking in Manhattan?"

C’mon, Galactus, who walks in Manhattan? It’s New York! Catch a cab or take the subway like everyone else!

Looks like there’s one person who might have replayed that two-second peek of Galactus stomping through New York - Quentin Tarantino. Gotta love a supervillain foot cameo!

@ConnorEatsPants pointed:

"That’s Ant-Man. He can go big. Did you see Ant Man 2"

Hmm, maybe that wasn’t Galactus in the teaser after all! Could it just be Ant-Man going giant and gearing up to fight fire with fire? Now that would be a plot twist!

Another fan, @debayo_xx commented:

"Not enough destruction imo"

Trending

As this fan hilariously points out, there should be way more destruction if Galactus is really stomping through New York. Don’t tell us he’s being a responsible pedestrian and carefully avoiding property damage!

The new glimpse of Galactus in The Fantastic Four: First Steps has definitely left fans both hyped and curious. With just a few months to go, the countdown is on to finally see the mammoth villain in all his glory when the film hits theatres worldwide on July 25th, 2025.
