Galactus, the big space baddy who eats planets like M&Ms, is coming for Earth this time. But do not worry, the Fantastic Four are here to save everyone. Before you start worrying about an impending doom and lose sleep, Galactus is a fictional cosmic being, and the Fantastic Four are a fictional team of superheroes created by Marvel.

The Fantastic Four: The First Steps is the reboot of the Fantastic Four movie franchise and explores the same storyline in a new light. Audiences will see the team fight their arch-nemeses, Galactus and the Silver Surfer, in a new timeline and style.

And since it's 2025, you might think that this time motion capture and CGI must have been used to make the process swift and easy. But that is not the case. According to the makers, the team used more than just motion capture while creating Galactus. Wait till you hear what they meant by that.

"We've built an entire costume for him, and we've done a lot of photography testing to figure (that) out"

Fan reaction to Galactus' reveal from The Fantastic Four: The First Steps

The thought of finally seeing Galactus on screen in the proper costume as shown in the comics sounded cool until they released pictures. The reaction to the pictures was not what Marvel was expecting. Fans lost it and started trolling the mighty Galactus for its size and costumes.

The comment section turned into a roast session and had some hilarious comments that are mentioned below.

User @SoulTechSage had the best roast in the comments section,

"Maybe we've entered the quantum realm because that's the tiniest Galactus I've ever imagined at scale."

User @overall_webx added another funny comment to the section,

"Still a puny size for such a big boy."

User @thec0med1an pointed out something important with this comment,

"How is Galactus not an avengers level threat?"

User @ILoveToTalkFilm entered the chat with this hilarious comment,

"That looks like an old garage can with arms"

User @pandaprd1 asked the first question that comes to mind when you hear such news,

"Dude where did they find someone that big to fit in that costume and why wasn't it on the news?"

User @Bl4M3TH3M0VI3S added another funny comment,

"Galactus is honestly weak a*f"

This isn't the first time Galactus has decided to gobble up the Earth. The last time it was here was in 2009; a different team stopped it from consuming the planet. Now, after so many years, it is back, but we have a team ready to fight it. Again.

The much-awaited Marvel movie The Fantastic Four: First Steps, starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, is set to release on July 25. In it, a team of super-smart heroes is up against the gigantic cosmic being Galactus and its servant, the Silver Surfer. Let's see how things turn out this time.
