Editing The Fantastic Four: First Steps (section)

On April 4, 2024 ("4–4 Day"), Marvel Studios released a teaser poster for the film of the Human Torch creating the Fantastic Four symbol. A link was also included with the post that led to a 404 error page featuring H.E.R.B.I.E., who had an embedded QR code leading to a Future Foundation-themed page with a list of Fantastic Four comics available to read on Marvel Unlimited in preparation for the film; the comics were ''Fantastic Four #1'' (1961), the team's first appearance; ''Fantastic Four #48–50'', which features the first appearances of Galactus and Silver Surfer; and ''Fantastic Four: Life Story #1'' (2021), which is set in the 1960s. Following a screening of ''[[Deadpool & Wolverine]]'' at San Diego Comic-Con on July 25, 2024, a drone show occurred over Petco Park that included images of a comics-accurate Galactus and the Fantastic Four logo, teasing announcements regarding the film at Marvel Studios' Hall H panel two nights later. That panel featured Shakman and the main cast, revealed the film's full title, showed a teaser reel, and had the film's futuristic Fantasticar float across the stage. Shakman explained that the teaser reel featured pre-filming footage combined with pre-visualizations and animatics that were created during the film's design development. The footage was presented in an "old-timey 4:3 aspect ratio".
