Thescreescore – A newly released trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps has dropped a bombshell revelation regarding Galactus’ motives. While Ralph Ineson’s imposing Galactus has been teased in previous promotional material, the cosmic entity’s true objective remained shrouded in mystery—until now. Marvel Studios’ latest sneak peek, shared via Twitter, finally unveils the terrifying price Galactus demands for sparing Earth.
The trailer reveals a tense scene where Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards recounts the Fantastic Four’s desperate attempt at negotiation. Their encounter with Galactus in the vast expanse of space ended not in victory, but in a chilling ultimatum: the life of Franklin Richards, the son of Reed and Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), in exchange for the planet’s survival. This shocking revelation throws the fate of Earth into grave jeopardy.
This development introduces Franklin Richards (whose powers in the comics are reality-bending) to the MCU, setting the stage for his significant role in future storylines. His very existence has piqued Galactus’ interest, hinting at a far more sinister plan than simple planetary consumption. The implication is clear: Franklin’s reality-warping abilities could provide Galactus with an endless supply of universes to devour, making him an invaluable asset—or a terrifying weapon.

The stakes are impossibly high. With Avengers: Doomsday looming on the horizon and a post-credits scene in Thunderbolts showing the Fantastic Four’s ship, the pressure mounts. If surrendering Franklin is the only way to prevent Galactus’ wrath, the heroes face an agonizing choice with potentially devastating consequences. The film’s director, Matt Shakman, has crafted a narrative that promises a thrilling and emotionally charged confrontation.
This writer’s take? From the moment Franklin Richards’ presence in The Fantastic Four: First Steps was announced, I suspected Galactus’ interest would center on him. The cosmic entity’s hunger for infinite worlds makes this a chillingly logical development. The trailer confirms my suspicions, painting a bleak picture for the Fantastic Four and the fate of their world. The escape route seems to be the only option left.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps arrives in theaters July 25th, 2025. The film boasts a runtime of 115 minutes and features a stellar cast including Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. The film is produced by Kevin Feige and written by Jeff Kaplan, Josh Friedman, Ian Springer, and Eric Pearson. Prepare for a cosmic showdown unlike any other.
