Superheroes for the Don Draper and Space Race era? Why on Earth (or just outside its orbit) not? Marvel’s first proper Fantastic Four follows three 20th Century Fox efforts – two jaunty but flimsy; the other a grim-dark mess – and an unreleased 1994 curio from Roger Corman’s studio. A slate-clearing period redo with a very on-trend cast (Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Vanessa Kirby) overseen by Gareth Edwards, First Steps could crack the code on the MCU’s newest additions and intro a universe-monstering superbad Galactus played by Ralph Ineson. That’s right, Finchy from The Office will be throwing planets over the pub this time.
