Like other popular MCU movies, the trailer for Fantastic Four: First Steps also set the tone for a thrilling, retro-futuristic adventure. But observant netizens noted every detail that could potentially come out of the trailer. The glaring absence of Mr. Fantastic’s signature stretching powers is definitely one of the things fans found missing. Played on screen by Pedro Pascal, Reed Richards is one of Marvel’s most coveted superheroes.

It has been claimed that such a big hit of a trailer is seen for the first time in MCU trailer launch history.

The trailer begins with somber music, and as we go forward, we see some really sweet character build-ups. We see The Thing from the Fantastic Four team talk about a garlic-packed recipe, and we also catch a glimpse of Johnny Storm and The Invisible Woman.
