Fans are waiting with bated breath for Fantastic Four: First Steps, the First Family’s debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The hope is that the film will be a course correction for the MCU, following a fair share of post-Avengers: Endgame missteps. And for good reason: the team assembled for the project is star-studded. Matt Shankman, who brought one of this middling MCU era’s greatest achievements, WandaVision, to life, will direct First Steps’s star-studded cast— Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm, respectively.While the cast and crew are promising, the comic book inspiration for First Steps is also cause for excitement. Whether it be curious casting announcements like Ralph Ineson as Galactus and Julia Garner’s role as Silver Surfer—she’ll play Shalla-Bal, as opposed to the more frequently featured Surfer, Norinn Radd—or hints straight from the source, such as the reading guide Marvel Unlimited dropped, fittingly, on April 4, 2024 (get it, 4/4?), there is no shortage of signposts pointing MCU fans towards must-read comic books before seeing Fantastic Four: First Steps.Earlier marketing confirmed a neo-futurist 1960s setting for the film, but the Marvel Unlimited reading guide doubled down on that groovy oeuvre. Boasting an eclectic bunch of Stan Lee/Jack Kirby joints and complemented by a more modern, albeit still ’60s-set story in Fantastic Four: Life Story, Marvel made their intentions clear.Billed as “preparation for the upcoming meeting,” the batch of free-to-read comics marked the first bit of viral marketing for Fantastic Four: First Steps and, in turn, the first trustworthy hints regarding the team’s upcoming MCU tales.
